There was a dispute between the supermarkets and Unilever who make it back in September, the supermarkets saying they wouldn't accept price rises from Unilever but it was all resolved as far as I remember, my son was going to bulk buy Marmite just in case grin

Would you be able to get it via Amazon?

Yes there is some in the supermarket but only tiny jars and very expensive.
As to french people's reaction, the strange thing is that marmite means a big cooking pot in french - picture on the jar.

I adore Marmight, and so does DD. It is available here in all the supermarkets I've been in recently, and I haven't heard of any shortages. Reminds me, I must put some on my shopping list as my jar is getting low!

Available in my Waitrose Tricia, I bought a jar for Christmas.

Is it not to be found on the English shelf in your supermarket? If not, get someone to post you some if it's in short supply in France. Our French friends used to spit it out when we tried it on them, same as jelly and mince pies. They thought we had crazy tastes! grin

I've been addicted to Marmite since childhood, and buy it here (France) from someone who imports british food products. Now she's saying that supplies might run out soon - how will I manage?
Can anyone say if it's still available where you shop in the UK?
