Marmite vegetarian spread

HI everyone. This is an offshoot from another thread but... Wondering where everybody stands on Marmite (or Vegemite). Am guessing the question is more relevant to Brits and Aussies, because it seems there's no such thing in the US. If you want to know what it is, check: .

 

blech. just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

he he he. Not a big fan then.

 

If its Vegemite I love it can't go past Vegemite on toast.Marmite tastes nothing like Vegemite its disgusting.

 

I love both, but I prefer Vegemite. It's yummy!

 

Never seen it here, like to try it out if I ever do!

 

Where do you live, Sabi?

 

maybe I'll have to order some from one of the online british food shops, just to find out what the taste is..

 

Yeah, you totally should. All this talk of Marmite. I think I'll go and make myself a piece of toast.

lol.. I might try it, but I don't think it will taste better than fish & chips & mushy peas.

 

It's a loooot more bitter than all the vinegar you could drown your fry in.

Fry? Oooops, I meant fries. Freudian slip. No prize for guessing what's on my mind: fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish.

Ah, I think I'll let it pass...

Port Elizabeth, South Africa. one of the best places on earth, to me!

 

You guys all live in places that I want to visit. No fair! I might get a chance to go to S Af for work really soon. Don't be surprised if a fish-faced woman turns up on your doorstep!

You know it! just think how much moreso if I had marmite.

 

LOL I don't know what marmite is, but remember a 70's song about someone eating a 'vegimite sandwhich'. Which I never knew what that was... it was a great song tho! lol.. ;D

it sounds like a lot of people think it's bitter - more bitter than 100% cacao? i'd hope not - that is the definition of bitter.

Yeah, I do like Vegemite better, but I still looove Marmite.

Song was something like 'I come from a land down under, blah blah etc! VERY annoying song I thought....

MARMITE is FAB, had it on toast this morn!!

Great when you come in drunk ( not that I have ever done that! :-[) with a cup of tea. I 'd been out one night when I lived in Stuttgart and my German friend said she would make the toast, she had never seen in before and thought it was a chocolate spread so spread it very thick, took one bite and turned green! She was rather ill! haha, amused me anyway!! ;D

lol too funny... yes that was the song, maybe annoying but you couldnt hide from the catchy tune even if I didnt know what they were talking about. Until this topic I didnt know what a vegimite sandwhich was..

I HATE marmite but Luuuuuuurve fish n chips with mushy peas or fish n chips and curry sauce!! they can't be compared!!!

poll results are interesting, 2, 2, 3. I thought marmite was a love hate thing, so surprised anyone chose the last option!

 

Wondering if the people who chose 3 did so because that was the only option if you'd never heard of it.

 

I love marmite ;D ;D ;D

maybe you should add a "what's that?" option? - if you wanted one. it sounds almost like a solid form of V8 to me.

 

Done! It's darker brown than V8. V8 is kind of like orangey brown, isn't it?
