Family see Jesus image in Marmite

[moggie]

Hallelujah! What's brown and sticky? Jesus!

It may not be immediately obvious to everyone, but one family are convinced they can see the face of Jesus on the lid of a jar of Marmite.

Claire Allen, 36, said she was the first to notice the image on the underside of the lid as she was putting the yeast spread on her son's toast.

...

She told the South Wales Echo: "Straight away Jamie said 'that looks like God', and my other boys (Robbie, four, and Tomas, 11) even said they could see a face.

"People might think I'm nuts, but I like to think it's Jesus looking out for us."

Note to Americans: this is the food of my people, so I won't have you saying it tastes like burnt tyres steeped in salt. It's yummy on toast, but I've never seen Jesus in it before.

1. Marmite is yummy with butter.

Had many sandwiches as a kid.

2. Is Marmite sold in the USA ?

:shrug:

I love it especially on toast soldiers. :rofl:

10. It's in my supermarket, Very expensive.

In the British expat section along with McVitties digestive biscuits and Smarties.

11. Have they got

Hartley's Thick Cut Marmalade too ? I had some friends who bought a motel in Clearwater FL back in 1981 and any of us who went there on holiday from the UK were expected to bring that over in volume.

BTW - Marmite is so strong in flavour you really only need a smear so it lasts for ages unless, like me. you daub it on thick enough to make you wince. :)

16. They probably do. I haven't studied the whole section.

It's amazingly substantial, four or five shelves. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. It's like a British person's comfort food emporium.

I'm a Yank but was introduced to Marmite (and Vegamite) by a mate from Minehead. It was, um, interesting. :wtf:

3. Looks more like Frank Zappa.

4. I have found Marmite isn't bad on chips

[CrispyQ]

5. Will they keep it until it turns into moldy Jesus?

:shrug:

[moggie]

9. I don't think mould will grow on Marmite

It wouldn't dare. The stuff will last for years, unrefrigerated.

[sagetea]

6. Yeah,

and if you tilt your head to the left, you can see a man in a business suit rubbing the belly a of pregnant kangaroo. Jeez, these people are desperate!

7. "Warhol said I'm entitled to 15 minutes. I want my 15 minutes now!"

8. I have a friend

who worked in the snack bar kitchen when in college. To amuse himself, he kept a bowl of lemon juice and a paint brush next to the grill. When he made a grilled sandwich or a tortilla, he could use the lemon juice as sort of a paint and make anything he wanted appear on the tortilla once it was cooked.

He would paint faces of Jesus and if he knew the customer was a really obnoxious religious type, he would paint 6-6-6.

12. Actually , now you mention it,

it does taste like burnt tyres steeped in salt. :rofl:

[frylock]

13. they should spread it on the jesus toast

[BR_Parkway]

14. I'm just waiting for the report of someone seeing the face in their ejaculate

or menstrual flow - at that point, all of this will probably stop being reported

[redqueen]

15. Is it just me or is Sticky Jesus's moustache all wonky?

Also, is he wearing a bead necklace? Or is that his wonky bearded chin?


:crazy:

[and-justice-for-all]

17. Looks like a Prince Albert to me...nt

[centristgrandpa]

18. my tofurky looks like a bowling ball...

Actually it looks like plankton, the evil minded crabby patty terrorist. :hide:
