Food Shortages.

[Malcolm Robinson]

Unlikely as it might seem we are now probably going to see a massive rise in staple food inflation owing to shortages because of spoilt harvests. Watch the prices of wheat and soya based foodstuffs.

This could easily knock everyone's economic theories into a cocked hat.

I know but be aware.

Fires in Russia destroying crops and whole communities. They are pondering stopping grain exports as they need it themselves.

Bread prices will inevitably rise. Hoard flour you cooks!

What's even worse is the current Marmite shortage in the Med; send supplies - urgent!

'It is a natural by-product from brewer's yeast. The by-products of fermentation—yeast, barm, or leaven—had long since been known about, but it was not until Louis Pasteur's time that the secrets of living yeast were unlocked. A German chemist named Liebig discovered that the waste of yeast used in brewing beer could be self-digested and made into a concentrate, resulting in a protein-rich paste (some would say "sludge") with a more or less meaty flavour. (So Marmite is actually a Continental, not a British, invention! But the Brits were the first to make it commercially viable.)'

I thought it was just reduced ear wax!

What are Vegemite, Promite, Bovril and Yeast Extract?

Answer: They are not Marmite in any way, shape or form.

Vegemite, is an Australian product, manufactured by Kraft Foods Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is generally described by Marmite fans as a weaker version spread than British-produced Marmite. Vegemite fans have claimed that it is stronger than some non-British-produced Marmite, but that doesn't say much for that "Marmite".

Its ingredients are:

Yeast Extract

Salt

Caramel

Malt Extract

Natural Flavor
