You can find it in bigger supermarkets like REWE Center (usually where they sell stuff like fluid meat broth etc.) but it’s pricey. I bought a huge glass of it in Netherlands for the same price as the tiny one in Germany. But yes, you will find it. There are also shops that sell British stuff for example the „The English Shop“ in Cologne where you will find it.
In Germany hazardous waste is not sold in ordinary shops.
You can get it in larger supermarkets like “real”. I wonder how many they sell per year.
Most Asia-Supermarkets have it.
I’ve seen it randomly even in some mid-size grocery stores where there is no real nearby British presence. A really large grocery store with an ‘international’ section, especially those in bigger cities with established Anglo communities, *might* have it. British shops would too, of course. But basically no it’s not widely available. Shame.
It may be available in some of the larger (non-discount) stores, at least in the bigger cities; since it’s the kind of thing that you have to have had as a child to even like it, it just doesn’t sell outside of the UK, and there’s no point in even trying to sell it anywhere there isn’t a sizable British community.
Brexit, of course, may have made it even more difficult, and it may be that many supermarkets that did sell it either no longer sell it, or only stock it sporadically.
Some cities have — or at least *had* — one or two British food shops which will definitely stock Marmite if they possibly can; but again, Brexit has forced many of them to close down.
You can try Asian food shops, but don’t hold your breath.
I’ve found a very good alternative called VitamR – it’s mostly sold in health food shops and the like, but it’s really tasty, I think I even prefer it to Marmite actually.
isn’t it illegal to sell bio weapons in europe?
Never seen that around here anywhere. I doubt most Germans would know of and/or like it.
Alternatively, just nibble the crust from a Maggi bottle.
Hahaha nah my dude, same shit, same jar, different country
You get it in „Reformhaus“ or in a Bio-Market. If it’s not available, then try the german brand „Vitam-R“. It tastes similar but is a little bit less salty. And you get it at Rossman or DM.
Stuff is great. Could eat it with a spoon!
Or try „Vitam R“ at the Reformhaus
not sure how many asian ppl here do this but marmite goes great with shi fan/zhou/congee
was absolutely delighted to find they sometimes sell marmite in asian grocers, tho not sure how/what other ppl use it for (besides the usual on toast)
I‘ve never seen it in local Supermarktketten I buy mine in the Asiatischen Laden
I buy Marmite at Indian supermarkets here in Berlin. Alternatively theres something called “Hefeextrakt” sold in Bio supermarkets by the stock and broth aisle. It’s nothing like it, much lighter and a lot yeastier tasting, but it’s an okay option.
I bought some in Globus a few months ago, need to go back and get another.
Man i need to try this stuff again but don’t want to buy a full glass.
I had it as a teenager when i was at a guest family in Eastbourne and was kind of turned of, but i can imagine that it’s good.
Like u/ToreGermano, I’ve also seen this abomination in an Indian store in Karlsruhe.
you should definitely try zuckerübensirup and ovomaltine, for similiar stuff available here, some sticky weird sugary breakfast fun.
We have Marmite in some places, yes.
The much better Vegemite we don’t have, though.
Usually not but we have our own yeast bomb, it’s called VITAM-R. It’s super disgusting, so you are probably going to love it.
Yes, in the basement (grocery) of some Karstadts. For example the one in Bremen sells it. But it’s rather pricey at 9.99€
That’s not marmite, filthy heathen!!
Sanatarium Marmite for life
TK maxx
i guess a similar product or somehow related would be “Braunschweiger Mumme”, but it is not made of waste products.
Alternative “Goldsaft”, which should be made out of “Zuckerrüben”.
It’s very rich in Umami. I add a small amount when I am making gravy. It gives the gravy a richer meatier flavor.
Almost every household in New Zealand has this, I really hope it’s available in Germany when I move. Vegemite is so much better though.
Same product without fancy marketing/packaging “Vitam-R”. Available in larger supermarkets only though. Has been in stock since the 90s as far as I can recall.
I’m german and i have no clue what this is
I go back to the UK and buy 5 massive jars to bring back. Otherwise you’ll be spending way over the odds for a small jar in Rewe. If you’re out of it though, maggi is a substitute taste replacement for a short while. But it’s pretty shit. Also Germans can not stand Marmite. They are brought up on sweets and bread, not the scrapings of yeast from a beer keg.
I ate this by accident in NZ once, while expecting the sweet and divine taste of “Fenner Harz”. Worst experience of my life
Pro tip: Most Asia markets stock this stuff for some strange reason. Not even Vegemite, which would at least make some sense since Australia is much closer to Asia geographically, but the real deal. It’s ok.
Some Edekas around here have it.
Sorry to tag on this but if anyone knows where to get promite, please let me know!!!
