Vegemite? not in america.

I've seen it. Wouldn't eat it without a great deal of liquid courage, but I've seen it.

I have seen it on the store shelves - Marmite that is - never tried it though.

It's like liberally salted axle grease.

Yum.

you salt with liberals?

Sure. It lends a certain je ne sais quois (or "freedom stuff") to any dish.

marmite bad, vegemite good.

When my Aussie niece and nephew were kids and they first came to the States, they got really food-homesick, and everybody had to fan out to find them Vegemite and Weetabix. That was not an easy thing to do in Tucson, but we did it. Weetabix is so dry and scratchy it makes shredded wheat seem soft and squishy. Vegemite was like peanut butter that went seriously bad. I think they're part of that strange British culinary tradition that regards food as a form of corporal punishment.

Nah...totally disagree. My sister bought over some vegemite from Oz, yeeeeears ago, before we had ever heard of it over in the UK.

It was very similar to Marmite, but not half as strong tasting.

Marmite is made from the by prduct of Guinness production. I believe that Vegemite is made from the by product of Australian lager production.

Now....what has the stronger taste? Guinness? ...or Oz lager?

I rest my case.


Regarding both vegemite and marmite...it's a case of you either love the taste, or you hate it. There's no middle ground with this stuff.

Personally, I love it. On toast, on crumpets, or just spread thinly on fresh buttered bread.

Mmmmmmmmm.

Down with vegemite!!!!!!

The spread of choice.........

AT SATANS PICNIC!!!!!!!

They both are excellent Jehovah's Witness repellents.

Marmite is too sweet. I like the saltier vegemite.

Pffffffft!

Brrrrrrapth!

Marmite tastes like congealed sloth vomit.

Marmite is in no way sweet. It's v v salty. Are you perchance confusing it with Marmalade?

I've got a little jar of it in my fridge. It's there for me when nothing else will do. (which is a rarity, of course)

Hey does everyone know, it's a French word (la marmite, pron. mar-meet, meaning a cooking pot)

Vegemite is an Australian word, meaning a kangaroo's dinner on the second chewing.

Nonsense.



However, I do wonder if, re sweetness, confusion re Promite and the disgusting Marmite has occurred?

455g (14 oz) jar of Vegemite = A$5.00 (greenback$3.75) in Oz. all conversions and prices approximate.

nope, I meant marmite.

Vegetarian's tastebuds are all screwed up.

Not that I think my tastebuds are screwed up, but you might have a point there. We all know people taste things differently. If I eat little meat (I'm not, strictly speaking, a vegetarian), my body may be craving certain nutrients which may make my tastebuds pick up on different things.
