Maybe it's just me. I've tried both and they taste pretty much the same to me. They're both good spread thinly on toast.

Vegemite. It is so versatile, you can make it taste just like Marmite (if that's your thing) by adding butter.
The big M is so much richer.....and with a little on the toast you need less butter!

I have never eaten either of them.
But if the marmite is more buttery, I'd probably go with the vegemite!
No worm in it! Just a can for the debate! It is vegetarian approved (not that I am a vegetarian.....just going by there sites.
)Hey! I bet Hush Puppies would be good with a little Marmite! Hmmmm.

Must agree. (Nix the headcheese and sweetbreads, though.) (The menudo too.)
I work with two Aussies, one of whom has Vegemite on bread EVERY DAY. Who wants to eat a jar full of toe-jam? (Not only does it look like it, it smells like it.) Foul stuff (and yes, that applies to Marmite as well!)
BTW, Max, I feel highly disenfranchised here - there is no poll category for those who deeply despise the stuff. Time to call Al Sharpton.

Actually, Vegemite is technically an American food. It is owned by Kraft.
I haven't tried Marmite but I just had two large jars of Vegemite mailed all the way to Japan and have been enjoying vegemite and butter on toast for breakfast for some time. My kids like it too but they say it smells like vitamins.

Al Sharpton? I already called Jessie Jackson. He said that that vegemite was a rascist food promoted by Australians who, as everyone knows, are not a very diverse people (e.g., 94% European, 4.5% Asian, 1.5% Aboriginal). Besides the standard earliest ages for homo sapiens (according to evolutionary scenarios) are tens of thousands of years later than the dates for extant Aboriginal Australians. See! The Australians don't even consider people of color to be human!
Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! Jessie!

....nice.
Beats me, Meg. I thought it was a form of linoleum, or maybe something used to caulk concrete joints.

Menudo is a traditional Mexican spicy soup made with tripe. Here in Mexifornia, it is a staple, sold everywhere.
I had never heard of marmite until this thread. According to the Web:
Marmite is the name given to two similar food spreads, one produced in the United Kingdom and the other in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. Marmite is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The British version is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful taste. Being both extremely salty and extremely umami, the taste of Marmite is comparable to soy sauce. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." It is similar to the Australian Vegemite, Swiss Cenovis.
Double yech!!! I bet their is a law against this stuff in 38 states. Come on theonomists. Can't you find some violation of an Old Testament law in here somewhere?
