Doesn’t look very toothsome.

I’m guessing Brits had to eat whatever was at hand during the war years,

The Marmite jar is charming. It’s based on a real clay pot called a marmite that’s used in French cookery. There used to be a French restaurant in NYC called Marmite. The Vegemite jar is ho-hum!

Marmite is used on breakfast toast. I don’t think it’s related to the war years - people compare it to our love of peanut butter on bread. The Brits hate peanut butter.
