Yep, just checked the jar: contains derivatives of barley and wheat ……and to top it off it's got sugar. So yeah, just add three things I can't touch. I think I cried when I first found out that Marmite was one of the things I'd have to give up. Alongside Pies and cakes, biscuits and bread. Bread's the worst, white bread especially.

Yep national crisis alright. The factory is in Christchirch which got hit repetitively by massive earthquakes in 2011. I live a little north of wellington and we felt the earthquakes. Anyway lots of people dislodged from homes, terror all round, and no marmite factory.
"Some supermarkets reported at the time they had already run out of stock, and there was only a few weeks of stock left in their distribution centres, leading to the dubbing of Marmite as "black gold" and the crisis as "Marmageddon"" according to Wikipidia
Apparently people also sold jars of this size for lots of cash. (……Or it might have been the bigger size, about two of the ones pictured.)
And I can't eat it due to a gluten intolerance that doesn't react well with wheat. Actually that's an understatement, I get rather sick from wheat based stuff.

Ew no, Marmite tastes good, vegimite tastes like crap. …………And there was the marmite drought, Vegimite never got one of those, although I'm not sure that's something to celebrate.
Actually Vegimite might be the Aussie version. I'm not sure.
But when did I mention Marmite? I don't remember that.
…………………………although I guess it doesn't matter whether you call it Marmite, Vegimite, or the even greater imposter of that foul Vegi-spread, I still can't eat it. *Sobs*

No …It's marmite. Marmite everytime.

Wait… let me find a world map………
………… Nope! you're off by about quarter of the planet, or is that three quarters? dunno.
Nope I be from New Zealand!
It's 4,30 in the morning of the 19th. :)

Not really, I don't think, just pick someone, tagg them or whatever it's called and ask if they mind a relation. My (psycho) werewolf Fate can quite happily have another relation if you need. :)
Youch. Don't have guns here, lots and lots of strict laws round them, do have knives though, ………not that I'm the best at using them, more of a kicking peoples heads in kinda person.
Hey, you're not the one who's head I try to bite off in the mornings.
Right. :) Until I randomly look at the clock and discover it's seven in the morning, and I need to be getting up. Again Actually if I do that I'll probably get myself banned from the computer, not a good look.
Yes it's four in the morning, I really should go to bed. :)
