Subdeacon Joe Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Both, other than being high in sodium, are fairly nutritious. Marmite is a bit milder and sweeter. I've tried both, like both, don't have a preference and find them pretty much interchangeable. Both make a nice addition to soups and stews. Add to sour cream or yogurt along with chopped green onions to make a dip. Mix with cream cheese and chopped olives for a sandwich spread, or to spread on crackers or toast. They both make a nice crust on a roast, although for that Marmite is a bit better because it is more easily spreadable. How do you use them?

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 If you’re curious, both of them can be ordered from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Vegemite is my "Maryanne" in this argument ...... ..... most of the above (but I have no use for olives) are great .... I like my vegemite on buttered toast, just as GOD intended ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, You toast some bread, butter it, then spread vegemite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Wallaby that's the best way that I have my Vegemite, but there was some great ideas that Subdeacon Joe had......as long as you use Vegemite and throw the Marmite where it belongs in the bin!!!

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Vegemite is a thick, dark brown Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922. Just reading the description is making me gag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Luv's my vegemite..marmite not so much. Have it normally on toast but it's my go to on buttered bread when I go to a Cowboy match..& it's great dunked in ya' coffee..chuck a tea spoon of vegemite in a cup of boiled water with some salt...just like Bonox [ do you have that in USA ]...most people when they first taste it say...'what is that s**t '..maybe it is an acquired taste !! When Jackson Rose from MO came down-under a couple of years back & stayed with us he tried some..aside from his ears gettin' bigger & eye lashes falling off he said it was fine !!

Since I didn't grow up wasn't raised eating either one I have no built in bias. Didn't try them until in my late 30s. To me both are somewhat like Better Than Bouillon soup base.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 What’s left out of all of this is mentions of quality. Are there good vegemites and bad vegemites or are they all equally wretched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I use them interchangeably when putting a new bag in the trash can and need something to hold it down. Both give a satisfying thunk to let you know it hit bottom.
