"Marmite has been banned in Denmark.
The dark-coloured yeast-extract spread is prohibited under a law that forbids the sale of food products with added vitamins.
They're considered to be a threat to public health.
Also banned in Denmark are Rice Crispies, Shreddies, Horlicks and Ovaltine." (http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/9513030/marmite-banned-in-denmark/)
WTF... big brother or sound medical advice :blink:

About bloody time too. Both Vege and Mar come out of the same mite orifice. They taste like shit and don't smell much different either.
I've always admired the Danes for having an official register of given names for children born there (as do the French). Governments have a duty to keep Bogans under control (particularly those who can't spell) and anti-mite legislation is yet another positive step in that direction.
Respect.

Hitcher is an odd Kiwi not loving Vegemite at least as it is so much better than Marmite.
What would I have on my toast if I went to Denmark?

So what you're saying is that because you don't like it I should be banned from eating it?
Is this not the same logic that could see us legislated off our bikes?

Nah, the flavour of Vegimite is weak compared to Marmite (as is British Marmite).
In case you hadn't guessed I'm a marmite lover. I've been known to put a teaspoonfull (or more) on each slice of bread before slapping a good slice of lyoner* in the middle.

Fark.
The register includes given names....and their serial numbers.

what do you expect from savages , forget the marmite and Vegemite ( If they had banned Bovril one would be understandably Miffed
but Rice Crispies , how could they , Think of the children in this ,its always the children who suffer
No more collecting the plastic toys , no more getting the small six packets of corn flakes, rice crispies , coco pops ...
and they eat smelly fish ,

Ugh. Balu likes promite. So does my 94 year old nanna... (I reckon that's probably because the taste buds have pretty much all gone :eek:)

Yeah, I'm in the marmite corner as well. My kids prefer vegemite. So there's no rhyme or reason in my household! I'm the only sane one with taste. And I'm sticking to that!!

Nobody's forcing you to eat it. Ban f-ing peanut butter, I say, vomit-inducing concoction of the devil that it is. It only takes one contaminated knife to render a jar of jam inedible and only good for binning.:sick:
What is it with Denmark anyway? Ban marmite, but sex with a 15yr old is ok? They must all be socialists.
No twiglets at parties for the Danes either then, eh?
:shit: can you get twiglets in NZ? haven't had them since I fled the UK... this could have major effects on my diet..
What is the UK equivalent?
I tried some at Easter on my hot cross buns at Martybabes...:corn:
Very nice indeed.

Ys, its not as thick and has tad sweeter taste.

Yeah it's called the same thing but is far superior.
There's also Bovril which is roughly the same colour but is made of beef 'stuff'. You put hot water in it and drink it like cuppa soup. Generally consumed in great quantities by old codgers.

I thought it had a different name?...was in a bottle the same shape as Bovril because I thought thats what it was.

Que? It's the NZ version of Marmite (some bastardised concoction that appears to have been designed to look more like Vegemite) that has sugar on the contents list...

Not that I'm aware of unless there is some other yeast extract. Confusingly Bovril was also a yeast extract at some point but I think its gone back to beef again now.

Marmite and english beer are about as cheap as cocaine in this country.
Yeah they sell Boddo's in my local, problem is it's carbonated and COLD... WTF?
Probably my favourite pint in the world:

If you're guessing the Lakes, you'd be wrong.
Originally from an area defined by the Boddingtons, Greenalls and Cains breweries and my formative drinking years by Greene King and Adnams.

For any Antipodeans thinking of going to Denmark you also need to be aware they have not evolved enough to invent the meat pie yet so take your own.

Not bloody suprising, a country that thinks vitamins are unhealthy is hardly gonna promote lard-filled pastries... Although paradoxically they do make Danish bacon. But they probably cut the rinds off.

'Our Mite' sounds like an unpleasant lice infection, not sure it's that appetising to me.

Aye not bad for one of the big breweries.
While we're talking about taps, what the fuck is this electric pump thing all about anyway? What's wrong with gravity flow? Who wants fizzy bloody beer?

Well.....word on the street, sort of lol, has it that several organisations in different countries have made requests to their respective Dept Foreign Affairs, to make further enquiries of the Danes. 'What gives?' in short.
And from a border protection & inspection perspective - thought it was tough enough looking for true contraband?

Vegemite is the sole domain of Girls and Australians.
Real people eat Marmite.
Often I don't bother with the bread or toast and just eat it by the teaspoon full straight from the jar (penut butter is good like that too).
Marmite and crisp sammies. A kids (and big kids) favourite.
Marmite Cheese and lettuce is a good un too.
