Vegemite v Marmite

[Rancid Schnitzel]

When I lived in Norway my boys were in a very multicultural kindergarten and they had one of those days where you could bring food from your national background. Not a single one of the Vegemite sandwiches I brought were touched. Philistines.

Vegemite trounces Marmite, but I'm a cheap arse and buy something called Mighty Mite from Aldi. Does the job.

Marmite is Kiwi. Vegemite is dirty Australian shit

Grew up on both living on both sides of the Ta$man at various times

Sorry to say but vegemite is infinitely superior

You're an honorary family member but by fuck you are running it close to lose your status

The shocking thing is that the country that yeast extract came from was ... Germany.

[Tim]

@Nepia Yeah, UK marmite is way too mild.

[W32]

Both are horrible. Bovril on toast is the only way to go

I haven't had the kiwi marmite in ages, isn't it really sweet and not smoky?

[Tim]

@Bones It is sweet, with a distinct caramel flavor, but it is also a lot sharper. Very punchy with the umami. Maybe the two balance themselves out?

EDIT: definitely not smoky, but I never got that from the UK marmite. Maybe I am insensitive to that flavour?

[Bones]

@Tim I think UK marmite is probably pretty similar to Vegemite, I can't really think what the difference might be now...seems a bit deeper and less sharp.

[Tim]

@Bones Maybe I have some kind of psychological association, but vegemite to me tastes like a distinct, and unpleasant, flavour that dominates when I have a cold. Probably psychological! Really strong but in a completely off putting way. Not a classic MSG/umami taste.

Apparently Bovril is a meat extract. The more you know ...

Too right! None of the woke veg based stuff for this African

[Kiwiwomble]

UK Marmite > Vegimite > NZ Marmite for me

[MiketheSnow]

They’re both absolute shit

[JK]

How about a hot bovril......
