THE LURE OF YEAST
10:05pm Monday 14th January 2008
It was announced last week that 600,000 jars of marmite laced with champagne and sporting a romantic message on the label are to be released in readiness for Valentine's Day. Just one problem, who, apart from my very own Outdoor Man, eats the stuff? If there are others, do their partners share my abhorrence of the taste and smell?
I predict an influx of new divorce cases on February 14th if certain spouses, including my own, get carried away and try to serve their loved one marmite on toast with a red rose for breakfast on the Big Day.
