Denmark bans Marmite!!!!

If they won't take our Marmite, with all its added goodness, why should we take their bacon with all its added water?

Vegemite's awful, all salt and no flavour.

I think it should be compulsory that anybody entering Australia should have to declare their love of Vegemite and eat a slice of toast covered in it without gagging.

I just have to have a jar of vegemite in the house. Even if I don't eat any for months, I need to know it's there. When I was a kid I used to eat it by the spoonful. I'll have that to blame when my arteries harden.

Marmite and watercress sandwiches (using good white bread) is the way to go.

I can't believe people dissed Vegemite :shock:

It is one of the three essential food groups along with Guinness and Dark Chocolate.

I should figure out a recipe to combine all three!

I don't mind English marmite but you have to shop for it over here. Nearly everybody stocks the New Zealand made Marmite which is a poor substitute.

I just found out they banned Vegemite as well.

How dare they!!!

I am going to boycot Danish Scrolls and see how they like it.

Maybe a daft question, but what are they???

(It's not that they've banned it, everything that has added vitamins has to have a special license to be sold, and marmite hasn't)

The dough is rolled nad then made into a spiral.

Many different flavours available.
