Subject: BS: Steen's syrup has been Marmited. From: Bert Date: 20 May 06 - 12:40 AM I just bought a can of Steen's syrup. It used to be thick and full of flavor like Fowler's treacle but this can was a load of crap. It was watered down and tasteless. |

Subject: RE: BS: Steen's syrup has been Marmited. From: GUEST, Topsie Date: 22 May 06 - 11:59 AM I found a cluster of jars of the old recipe marmite in my local corner shop, so I have a supply to last me a while. I don't know what the cut-off date is, but these are 'best before end of October '06'. |

Subject: RE: BS: Steen's syrup has been Marmited. From: Rapparee Date: 22 May 06 - 03:24 PM I've been lucky enough to have never tasted marmite. To me, marmite is a kind of insulated container used to bring hot or cold food to troops in the field. |

Subject: RE: BS: Steen's syrup has been Marmited. From: Paul Burke Date: 24 May 06 - 03:28 AM Marmite is what Asterix's druid friend brews up the magic potion in. He's called Panoramix in French- in the English version it's just a cauldron, and he's called Getafix. |
