I was inducted into the 1st circle of the Marmarati last year after I commented on Twitter about the validity of crumpets and Marmite as a combination. Many scoffed at the notion and due to my apparent devotion, was summoned to a secret location in London to swear my allegiance to the Ebony Elixir. The Marmarati are a (not so) secret society who have devoted their lives to the yeasty spread. During my initiation into this society, myself and a small group of other devotees were presented with the opportunity to taste a brand new blend. It was to be called ‘Marmite XO’.
Back then, it was but a dream but now the dream has become reality. A brown paper package wrapped up in string (it is indeed one of my favourite things, the Marmarati obviously being a fan of all things Sound of Music) arrived at my door and I scarcely could contain my excitement. The myth has become reality. It was like being sent a unicorn.
I decided to record a little short film in honour of this momentous occasion. Click on the little Vimeo logo above and then go full screen if you fancy some high res HD goodness.

This is fab, well done! I’m also impressed that you were chosen over your Marmite/crumpet combo comment - my winning entry into the Marmarati was with a Marmite flavoured pikelet, so I share your appreciation.
