Marmite vs Vegemite

[FFCcravencottage]

Sorry for the non football question, but I absolutely love Marmite (and Bovril as a hot drink) but have never tasted Vegemite. Is there a big difference between the two, cause I'm sure if they are simular I would love Vegemite as well. I suppose it's my unhealthy love of salt, love Soy Sauce. Would I love Vegemite?

A double yuk from me

If anyone remembers the "Perishers" Strip cartoon in the Daily Mirror and the "eyeballs in the sky" summer holiday sequence, even the name of the spread was used as a term of abuse...as in "Fascist!....Trotskyite!......Marmite !"


...and we're expected to eat the stuff !

Marmite  = gods nectar for mere mortals

[LBNo11]

...never fear FFCcravencottage, I too love Marmite, yes it does have a high salt content, but you don't have to spread it thick, it is best applied sparingly.

Vegemite is deceiving, because it looks the same and the old taste buds are fooled into thinking it is the same, it has a sweeter aftertaste which I can't stand.

It looks awful - what does it taste like...it does seem to be full of vitamins...

Good thing about Marmite is that you can use it like Bovril, and make a reasonable after-swimming drink of it (remember the old Fulham Baths anybody) - I dunno about spreading it thinly, just get a teaspoon, get a dollop and let it melt on your tongue - pure heaven.

Marmite love it

Please someone anyone I implore you-----
What does it taste like???

[HatterDon]

I guess this is about the Scandinavian nations banning Marmite because it is impure or something.

Love the reminder of the Perishers' expletives. Loved that strip.

The big difference that I can think of is that Vegemite scans better and actually featured in a song.

Anyone strolling past the Globe theatre in London this summer, look at the entrance to the ticket office and there are various photos of previous plays, one shows Kevork Malikyan (he's on the "famous FFC fans" list elsewhere on here) holding a pot of Marmite.

It wasn't one of Shakespear's plays, I should add, but a modern one called "Frontline", set around Camden and absolutely hilarious. Kevork's character was an Afghan kebab seller who, at one stage, started telling the audience that the British Empire had only one great achievement, at which point he produced the jar of Marmite. It got a laugh.

Totally spurious point, doesn't move the debate on a jot, neatly links two recent topics on here. Time for my tablets?

I`m a Marmite lover, i`ve had vegemite before, mid nineties, no where near the same, not as salty and definitely not the same taste, can`t think of a way of describing it though, perhaps you`d better go into an ozzie store and purchase a small jar just to satisfy your curiosity.
