[Food] Do you like Marmite and Vegemite?

[Shirty]

Love marmite, but not keen on vegemite. This year we had sprouts cooked in marmite butter with Christmas dinner.

We hired a chap at work about 4 months ago, and I get the feeling he is either a feeder or using treats as a method of keeping his job. He spends about £8 a day placing crisps, biccies and chocolates on the shared plinth of snackery. I reckon I've gained 2 stone since he started - yeah, yeah I know I don't have to keep going up to the plinth 20 times a day. Why this is relevant, almost, to this thread is that to combat the over-fattening eats he's provided, I've bought a packet of Marmite rice cakes. Yummy. So, therefore, I like, nay love, Marmite. Vegemite, on the one try many many moons ago I was less taken in by. Maybe i'll try it again someday, with a correct amount of butter and crumpet.

I love Marmite, but detest Vegemite.

Have always liked Marmite, however on a business trip to Sydney a few years back could only get vegemite for my morning toast and quite liked it. I now prefer Vegemite to Marmite but I don't really know what it is about the flavour that makes the difference.

Marmite: Good
Bovril: Better
Vegemite: Vile

I'm a big Marmite fan. Love the stuff.

A jar of Vegemite appeared in the house last week. I recall not liking it, but the last time I tried it was years ago, so I thought I'd give it a go. "How dissimilar could it be?" I thought to myself.

Very is the answer. It's vile.

Where do you stand on this one?

I'm with you. Pity your poll didn't have the option: I like Marmite but detest Vegemite.

Same here, we're a half Aus half Anglais household so have both.

I LOVE marmite and LIKE vegemite

Vegemite over Marmite. Although when I suggested this before I copped the biggest thumbs down in the history of NSC.

Bail me out Aussie NSC. Maybe even me and [MENTION=4800]Tyrone Biggums[/MENTION] could agree on something.

Marmite is one the greatest things ever invented. Just behind Coleslaw.

Marmite is the shandy, Vegemite is the award winning beer.

A day of celebration when my local Coles supermarket started stocking marmite in the foreign foods section... right next to twiglets and Yorkshire tea. Hate vegemite, nowhere near enough bite to it.

Where is the option they are both vile?.

I don’t like either just doesn’t cut it.

It’s made from the waste that’s floats to the top from Guinness brewing.

Good grief, has Christmas gone already!?

There is no option for wife or me as we both prefer Tesco own label brand of marmite.

Marmite's alright. Tried Vegemite once when I was a kid but don't remember if I liked it or not.

Vegemite is Marmite light. For people who can't handle the full Marmite kick. A watered down horrible tasting version of the real deal that only those with delicate taste buds could consider palatable. The chicken korma of the yeast extract world.

So to correct your analogy, Marmite is a pint of perfect ale, Vegemite is the same pint that someone has drunk half of and then pissed in.
