Marmite Mania (Ellis)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 12×12 Acrylic Jan 2021

For those of you who don’t know, Marmite is a foul-smelling worse-tasting mix of molasses and yeast. It’s awful. BUT… You know how some people brag about liking very spiced foods. Others brag about eating olives or drinking a lot of some drink. Well, my brother brags about eating Marmite. He claims he loves it (obviously lying!!) So, for a laugh, I painted a Marmite jar as a surprise for him. The lid is blue because it is vegan Marmite.

Here is a photo of my brother holding a similar jar of Marmite. The one I painted was “reduced fat” and had a slightly different colored lid.
