| 1205077 | 2011-05-27 05:33:00 | COPENHAGEN -- After news that Britain's beloved Marmite has been removed from supermarket shelves in Denmark it emerged Thursday that Australia's favorite spread, Vegemite, has also been added to the Scandinavian country's banned list. Denmark has ordered Vegemite, along with Marmite and Ovaltine :confused: :eek: :annoyed: , off its shelves because food authorities have never confirmed claims that it is a "rich source of Vitamin B" and folate. The nation has strict food safety laws that restrict foods fortified with vitamins or minerals. Read more: www.foxnews.com Just sux, doesn't it? I'm taking Scandahovia off my travel itinerary. |

It is said they could, more or less, understood the local lingo, according to a Geordie I knew. I expect they will probably stock up with Marmite on every visit. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

| 1205081 | 2011-05-27 07:24:00 | We have, of course, declared war. A couple of weeks without Vegemite and those pasty faced continentals will be unable to fight their way out of a paper bag. After the victory party we will probably convert Denmark into a Radish patch for the middle 4 months and outdoor chilled storage for the rest of the year. |
