It may not be immediately obvious to everyone, but one family are convinced they can see the face of Jesus on the lid of a jar of Marmite.The only question I have is what the heck is marmite?
Claire Allen, 36, said she was the first to notice the image on the underside of the lid as she was putting the yeast spread on her son's toast.
Her husband Gareth, 37, said he could not believe his eyes when he saw it.
Mr Allen, of Ystrad, Rhondda, said: "The kids are still eating it, but we kept the lid."
He explained: "Claire saw it first and called her dad to come and take a photo of it.
"When I first looked at it I wasn't sure, but when I moved it away from me it started coming out. I thought yeah, she's right - that's the image of Jesus.
Mrs Allen said her 14-year-old son Jamie had also remarked on the likeness.
She told the South Wales Echo: "Straight away Jamie said 'that looks like God', and my other boys (Robbie, four, and Tomas, 11) even said they could see a face.
"People might think I'm nuts, but I like to think it's Jesus looking out for us.

Marmite is definitely an acquired taste...disgusting really.
You're suppose to spread it on bread. It has the consistency of peanut butter, but is very salty and yeasty in flavor.
:(
I found a website that sells it--I think maybe a link from Instapundit--and copied the URL for a couple of customers who left Old Blighty years ago.
I think the Aussies eat Vegemite.
I think the idea is to use a very thin layer of it.
