I'd not spotted this thread before. I love marmite and the tenor banjo. The question for me would centre around possible substitutes...

There is a reasonable chance that I could substitute Marmite for Vegemite but less chance of me substituting tenor banjo for another banjo and if the only substitute available was a 5 string banjo, there is simply no way.

Time to get my walking boots out. I have a tenor banjo, a tent and a jar of marmite. I love the Yorkshire moors and can quite easily see some attractive sheep in the equation. The field behind the white Lion up on Blakey Ridge is desolate and cold and worth a visit by all concerned on this thread. A suitable date for the 'piss-up' will have to be arranged. A reply from Bella is now required.

Hey
I went through a small pile of stuff left by Bor-in-Law when he went back to NZ. AND I found a jar (yes glass jar though not yer familiar shape) of Marmite. The brand is well known in NZ - Sanatarium = which roughly translates as "You must be mad to like this gunge"
Joy declined the Vegemite as an inferior pseudo-clone. If she doesn't like the idea of this Kiwi Marmite - what am I bid for a genuine collectors item? It is kept well away from proper food lest it contaminates the fodder.

A difficult choice. Is one obliged to eat the banjo? If so, I guess it beats the marmite by a slim margin. If, on the other hand, one is obliged to play them, the marmite wins by a substantial margin!

Why is everyone so cruel to this much loved instrument - the banjo of course-
Don't you know that most of the worlds worst conflicts ( American Civil War for example) were fought over the right to make & play the banjo.
The banjo is a much maligned instrument, unlike the melodeon which is the last refuge of the musically incompetent.
As for Marmite - I hate the stuff, but it can be used as an adhesive to stick floor tiles down.
