Marmite fer christs sake!! How could you even contemplate the alternative. And how dare the english weather deny us another victory, I've been waiting half my life to see England win more than one test match in an ashes series dammit!

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Vegimite is awful. I expected to like it, but no way.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I've always gotten the impression that Vegemite is the Aussie version of Spam.

We're happy little Vegemites

As bright as bright can be.

We all enjoy our Vegemite

For breakfast, lunch, and tea.

Our mother says we're growing

stronger every single week.

Because we love our Vegemite.

We all adore our Vegemite.

It puts a rose in every cheek!

Bit of a controversial subject this, even for the Speakers Corner. The Mods better watch things don't get out of hand.

Marmite is clearly superior in all aspects to Vegimite. Vegimite shares more with Bovril in my opinion.

It's also noteworthy that Australian and NZ Marmite is significantly inferior to British Marmite. It is also the constancy of Bovril and indeed looses much of the classic Marmite flavor in favor of a kind of salty, flavorless chocolate spread.

You can't make a fair comparison unless you put British Marmite against Ozzie Vegimite. In the UK we can purchase both... sadly you can't say the same for our antipodean friends. If I had my way, everyone of our cousins down there would be given a free issue of British Marmite to enable them to sample the delicacy. Even if they decided it was not for them (as lets face it, many do) they would at least have been able to perform a fair comparison.

My two good NZ friends were stunned by the difference between our and their Marmite. They wish never again to go back to the interloper substitute they know from back home.

Marmite!

Vegimite is all... yeasty.

And for the carnivores, there's (Beefy) Bovril!

If you're a Kiwi or a Pom it's obvious that they'd have to pick marmite even though they may argue about what marmite is better etc. etc of course the poms are always better and once the Kiwi's see the error of their ways they want to be poms to ....NOT.

Any decent Aussie beggar hasn't even tasted marmite and so it's no question...Vegemite wins everytime. There's no question about good vegemite and bad vegemite its just vegemite.

This keeps it simple for our little convict brains and taste buds.

Vegemite..'product of Afailia'

We know it and we love it

I'm not apologising for vegemite OK?

Dude... seriously... contact these people...

both products are only suitable for brits and their descendants - nobody else could 1) invent that vile stuff and 2) even like that yucky stuff

This thread should be locked, and you should be banned for life from this forum for starting it. Yeast infection in a jar is simply FOUL! Even Saddam woudn't stockpile it.

Back when "Men at Work" were popular, a local Aussie and his wife made vegemite sandwiches for everyone on the DZ. Cut them into quarters, spread it thin on white bread (just as mother used to make, apparently).

Only about 1/4 of the FREE FOOD AT A DROPZONE was eaten.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

It's an acquired taste. It grows on you. (I'm not a Brit) That being said I voted for Marmite. Spread thinly on a piece of toast! Yumm!

A friend sent me some Marmite 3 years ago from Australia and I put it on a corner of toast and I'm STILL tasting it. Its like motor oil--I'm not used to it, it maybe an acquired taste, but give me peanutbutter ANY time. I spend time trying to offer visitors a snack, but those who know me know if that stuff is in my room on a shelf, its a set-up and they aren't falling for it.

She said put it with jam. Oil and Jam. This may work. Its bland, its oily, its dark, it looks like grease. No offense, I know different foods are appreciated in different regions, but I'll find some PB& Jam if I meke it there. Got Milk~~April

It was a joke... if I thought you were really suffering from a victim complex I wouldn't be making light of it on a forum with a piccy... I'd have posted a real link

[popsjumper 2]

I voted for dog crap...probably tastes better than ALL of the other choices.

My reality and yours are quite different.

I hate to break it to you but yeast doesn't grow exclusively on women, there are parts on men's anatomy where it feels right at home.
Oh yeah, and it doesn't smell much better either!

At the risk of being exhiled....

*NEWSFLASH* Vegemite is horrid. All us Aussies know that. Only the stoners eat it. Marnite is not that much better, but I do admit that the UK version is far superior.

Have you guys tried Promite? Tastes SO much better than vegemite. Spread a thin layer on a nice buttered crumpet and it is HEAVEN. Good for a hangover.

just registered my vote for 'vegimite' and realised something wasnt right.. i went to the kitchen and consulted my new jar of 'vegimite'.. its spelt 'vegemite'.. i also dig british marmite and sanitarium marmite.. i had a vegemite sandwich every single day of my primary school career.. vegemite and avacado on toast is my cure for a serious hangover. i cant help it.
