obento 0 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 im surprised nobody has touched on the marmite vs vegemite debate.. ive pledged allegiance to marmite, vegemite just doesnt cut it in my view infact vegemite disgusts me, and how about those people who claim theres no difference between the two?!? are there any truly devoted marmite/vegemite eaters out there?

Ocean11 0 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I've sort of crossed over from allegiance to Marmite to the Vegemite camp. First time I had Vegemite I thought 'What is this Australian sh!t?!', but then an English friend brought me back a large jar from a visit to the 'prison island' and I came to like it. Marmite seems a bit harsh in comparison. So there's definitely a difference between the two. Hell, anybody who says there isn't should go to the Yeast Extract Inquisition for some probing questioning. But I'm happy to get my hands on either. I found a visit to this site very rewarding; http://www.vegemite.com.au Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Yeah i think Vegemite is a bit of an acquired taste. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 So what does it taste like then? Vegetable spread? And marmite tastes like...Marmots? Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Despite the name Vegemite little to do with vegetables. Marmite is a similar thing as well, just with a different name. Kinda like Coca Cola and Pepsi - similar product, different taste. Vegemite is a "concentrated yeast extract". The main ingredients are yeast extract and several salts. There is also some vegetable extract, but i dont think its that much. Hope this helps to clarify what Vegemite is!! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 When I was a kid I seem to remember Vegemite being viewed as a kind of Marmite for softies who couldn't hack the kick of the real thing. I like both but prefer Vegimite these days and if that make me a softie then so be it. I have heard similar amusing stories from japanese friends of their first encounter with these delicious foods. Both mistook it for a kind of nuttella chocholate thingy-spread it on thick & UUMMM chotto chigau ne! Right-I'm off to have some Vegimite on rye crackers then. Link to post Share on other sites
sam_casper 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 mmm.... Vegemite is yeast extract and marmite is beef extract.. just thought i'd clear that up! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Not so! Bovril is beef extract. Both Vegemite and Marmite are yeast extract. Marmite has earned the prestigious 'green tick' from the Vegetarian's Society. Link to post Share on other sites
