Tesco shoppers are going wild over supermarket's ‘unreal' new Marmite range
Love it or hate it, Marmite is a staple in kitchen cupboards across the nation, with people spreading it on toast, bagels, and hot cross buns.
It can also be added to pasta dishes (Nigella's Marmite Spaghetti is my death row meal), used to create a glaze, or stirred into stews.
Some people have even been known to utilise the yeast extract when roasting potatoes, but if you can't be bothered to make them from scratch, or simply don't have the time to whip them up, Tesco is coming to your rescue.
The supermarket has just launched a brand new Marmite potato range in its chilled section and shoppers say it's 'elite', 'unreal', 'heaven' and 'banging'.
As well as Marmite Roast Potatoes, there's also Marmite Potato Wedges, Creamy Marmite Mash and a Cheese and Marmite Potato Gratin.
Each of the dishes cost £3.50 and they can be purchased in store or online as of right now.
Snaps of the carby treats were shared in the Food Finds UK Official Group and they've garnered hundreds of likes, shares and comments.
Michelle Cullen proclaimed: 'I need these!! As Hannah Watson wrote: 'Our world is better.'
Similarly, Stuart Harris said: 'These look fab, must try them.' And Elaine Williams thought: 'Tesco is killing it!'
'OMG Marmite Mash,' shared Ellie Hardy, as Nina J Churchill added: 'Look at them bad boys. Mmmmmm.'
However, along with all these Marmite lovers, there were of course some haters.
Nicola sheppard wasn't convinced by the new products, posting: 'This might be too far…'
While Jade Pettitt just commented 'ewww' and a few people simply replied to the post with vomiting emojis.
And over on Instagram, @misolgit's reaction was a 'very cautious hmm', while @mtcmusic66 claimed Marmite was the 'worst taste ever'.
If this isn't for you, then you might be more excited by the news that Tesco is also stocking something a bit sweeter. More Trending
