Marmite - Best Before End May 2007

I have a feeling Old Style is the best place for this.

So, would you eat it?

    Old style Marmite?
    I'd give it a try; as far as my limited knowledge tells me, it isn't likely to have mutated into anything evil, is it? There's one way to find out!
    Usual cautions apply - don't give to the very young (probably shouldn't anyway), the elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women or anyone with a compromised immune system.
    That leaves me, I think :)

    I'm sure we've had this sort of Q before :D I'll repeat my answer - I wouldn;lt eat it whatever date it was, as Marmite smells of bottoms :p So there :p

    Thanks for that edifying input Penny :p

    I don't think I've ever checked the date on marmite... I assumed it was like tar and lasted forever. But I'd eat it... and cook with it... actually mostly I eat it on it's own, probably when I need salt (I do the same with gentleman's relish - Penny probably doesn't like that either ;):D)

    jeez - apply the common sense test - if it looks like marmite, smells like marmite and tastes like marmite - then eat it! if its growing mould, smells funny or tastes funny - then dont eat it!

    Interesting results so far. By the way, I've deliberately left out the option of "I hate it but if I did like it then I would eat it", because if you don't like marmite you're just not qualified to answer. ;)

    ...and that wasn't even published as an April Fool.

    They don't make Marmite fabric conditioner of course.

    We have just thrown away the last bit of a jar that was well out of date, but it did still taste ok - but it had thickened and wouldn't spread, just sat on the bread on lumps :p If your jar is unopened it should be fine, but if not, try it.
