OOOOO no idea what maramite is sounds too close to termite ok never mind

I love wraps, flour tortia filled with cream cheese, sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes, and avacado. Yummmy, and avacado and cream cheese make up my calorie intake for like a year ahahahahahaha

They all sound yummy.....

This is what MARMITES made of...very savoury...visit www.marmite.com for more info.

Yeast Extract

Salt

Vegetable Extract

Niacin

Thiamin

Spice Extracts

Riboflavin

Folic Acid

Celery Extract

Vitamin B12

Marmite is not only renowned for its errr, distinctive flavour, but it's also a good source of B vitamins, completely vegetarian, is a low fat food and is very low in sugar.

Marmite contains none of the major allergens. Some people might have a reaction to celery extract, a minor component of the spice extract that is listed in the ingredients.

Hmmm more learning for old minks again today. I have seen Maramite around these parts may have to buy it one day and try it. Food allergies no trouble here with exception to corn and kiwi soooo that could be something to try.

More Marmite info...

Two world wars
Thanks to its high B vitamin content, Marmite did its bit for the UK in two World Wars.

By the time of the First World War it was included in soldiers ration packs. It also became a staple food in hospitals and schools.

During World War II, Marmite became a dietary supplement in prisoner-of-war camps, and in 1999, it was sent to British peacekeeping forces in Kosovo after we received morale boosting requests from the field.

I have two favorite sandwiches------Rye bread (sour) with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced dill (sour) pickle with dijon mustard on one side of the bread and mayonaise on the other.

Bacon (very crisp), lettuce, tomato, sliced avacado on toasted sour dough French bread.

When I am in New Zealand I never been able to find sour dill pickles. I think it offends the Kiwi's taste buds.

In 1922, a Melbourne man called Fred Walker (who started the Fred Walker Company which eventually became Kraft Foods Limited in Australia) had the bright idea of using yeast extract left over from the manufacture of beer to create a wonderful source of vitamin B and a tasty new spread that every Australian will grow up with. But it took many years before the product became a success. Fortunately Fred was a determined and clever marketer .

The chocolate bourbon cream is the single most perfect object known to man. Such is the enthusiasm for bourbons that new words have been invented to describe fans of the biscuit, such as:

Bourboneers - a group of bourbon eaters

Bourber - a bourbon eater (masculine)

Bourbonette - a bourbon eater (feminine)For the benefit of those outside the bourbon distribution area, a bourbon cream is two rectangular biscuits roughly 3cm x 6cm, and 5mm in depth, on either side of an oval of chocolate goo which never spills out from the sides of the biscuit1. This chocolate invention has created many schools of thought depending on the personality of the consumer.

How to Eat a Chocolate Bourbon Cream

The Traditional Method

Some gorge on the bourbon in the same way you would eat, say, a digestive, though some bourbers would argue this demotes the bourbon to mere 'everyday biscuit' status and labels it fit only for dunking purposes.

Scrape Method

First, the top biscuit is removed and eaten whole. The body thinks, 'Okay, a chocolate bourbon biscuit without goo.'

The body therefore releases its own sugar rush to compensate.

Imagine the body's surprise when the bourber scrapes the goo with his/her bottom teeth.

The double rush of chocolate renders the scrape-style bourbon eater in chocolate heaven.

Once this rush is achieved the scraper will never go back to the traditional way of bourbatious mastication.

The increased glucose in the body seriously hampers said person for life2.

The Double Whammy

The bourber extracts the top biscuit layer with their teeth and consumes it, leaving the central cream layer as intact as possible.

He/she nibbles off the bottom layer of biscuit that protrudes around the cream, leaving an irregular oval of cream-on-base-biscuit.

The eater carefully snaps this remainder in half.

Licking one cream half gently, the bourber (or bourbonette) places this on top of other half, pressing lightly to adhere.

He/she carefully bites off what has now become the top layer of biscuit base.

Slowly consuming the remaining piece of base, topped as it is with a luxurious double layer of cream, it is time to...

Sigh deeply.
