So, who wants to help ... to frivol in the cellar? (Part 2)

I approve.

Though, am I alone in missing the real Twiglets? The long ones that came in a box, were crunchy rather than hard, and tasted more of proper Marmite. I was all but addicted to that sort, must be decades since they disappeared.

I do miss real Twiglets but I don’t recognise any difference between old and new Marmite. Whatever, Marmite is yum to me.

Had a walk by the Tweed at Traquair and am now outside of pea & ham soup with s&p croutons.

You could cut real Marmite with a knife; the new stuff is runny.

I really don’t remember such solid Marmite, Fishers.

I can’t detect a difference in taste from my memory, so I don’t really mind.

I suspect the last twiglets I had were pre Great Change.

It was certainly a great deal more solid than it is now; it was not runny, but happened in lumps. Much easier to measure into cooking.

I agree Marmite used to be carveable and more piquant

A search tells me that the real Twiglets were made by Peek Freans and the current pretend version by Jacob’s only appeared after those were withdrawn in the 70’s.

Absolutely not!

Agree and agree. The real stuff was way better.

The Fish has it right. OMCB has 96 1/4 years of formulating plans, unfortunately, I have 71 years experience of the results.
