'Spaw, you should be able to get Marmite at an East Indian Grocery store. Most of them have that or Bovril.

BTW, how come no one has mentioned Bovril yet? Bovril is the REAL stuff - it's beef extract and is OK for hot drinks. The yeast extracts are just vegetarian substitutes for Bovril and they're not as good.

And anyone who goes 'Yuk' at the thought of lard has not tasted 'Lardy Cake'.
