It's been quite a while since we've had anything of a Marmite (our savoury spread of choice) type nature to review, however the other day, after Darrell had been "posh" mooching in our local Waitrose, he returned to The Towers in a state of unmitigated flux ......
....... brandishing a box of Nairn's Marmite and Cheese Oatcakes. OMG, let's just say that the Towers positively thronged with a mahooooosive palpable and tangible expectation!
Being totally obsessed by Marmite and very partial to a good, strong Cheddar these biscuits promised much.......
With four pouches of six biscuits, we didn't have the worry of them going stale as we would a single packet and therefore didn't feel the pressure to eat the whole packet in just a day or two (although it was very tempting) in order to avoid such an unfortunate, past their best scenario!
Plus, one pouch divided between three makes two biscuits each, which at 39 calories per biscuit, is very acceptable and well do-able within our allotted daily calorie intake, especially when you know that there are 93 calories in a single chocolate Hob Nob!
But, I hear you ask, how did they taste? Absolutely, blooming wonderful, par excellence in fact. The meld of Marmite and cheese together is perfect and the biscuits themselves are beautifully oaty, crisp and well on the veritable side of thinness. They are glorious eaten on their own, to quote Mary Poppins "enough is as good as a feast" or with a gentle spread of real salted butter and an extra slither of a good strong Cheddar ......... out of this world! Mamma Mia
So, for the above reasons, we have no hesitation in awarding these Nairn Marmite and Cheese Oatcakes an unequivocal and robust 10 posh Waitrose supermarket trollies out of 10 on our world famous Richter Scale of Noms. It goes without saying that they are now firmly on Darrell's monthly shopping list and our evening televisual snack routine probably changed forever! Non, nom, nom ........

Great find, Darrell! They sound extremely nomtastic!
I love extra mature cheddar, and will break my largely vegan diet for it. We have a Costco close by, and they used to do an excellent one, but, sadly, no longer.
What a high scoring review, I’m interested in trying these now. We have a Waitrose in our local Dobbies garden centre so I might have a look there.

They sound very delish....I'll have to keep my eyes open for them. None in my Tesco at the minute. JantheFan x
