Marmite is the cheap British version of the Australian sandwich spread Vegemite.

Personally i cannot stand marmite and can remember as a kid nearly throwing up when i tried a sandwich with marmite. Thought it was vegemite.

Maybe you will like it but personally i would advise just having vegemite. Good for you too.

Aussies have beaten the British at cricket and rugby and ..... and so we beat them with vegemite.

Hope this helps

I fear you are misinformed.

Vegemite is a by-product of the marmite manufacturing process.

The barrel scrapings from marmite are combined with fresh yeast to produce vegemite. This originally started as a way to feed convict trash being shipped to Australia. Prime quality marmite could obviously not be given to such people, so vegemite was produced en-masse.

The sickness you experience is your bodys' reaction to the higher quality of marmite - after years of abusing vegemite, your body cannot stand such a high quality product. It is a common-reaction & there are other people out there like you - given time, your body can adjust to qualtiy - go to www.change4betternow.com for more info.

Try Vegemite first,

then Marmite .

I'm sure you will then become a happy little Vegemite, just like 20 million Aussies.

As a completely unbiased consumer of both Marmite and Vegemite (only when I was desperate), I'd like to bring a few facts to the discussion. This is from ABC Australia: ( http://www.abc.net.au/queensland/stories/s515779.htm )

Marmite vs Vegemite

The tastebud challenge!

For many Aussies Vegemite is the real thing, the original sandwich spread, but it may come as a surprise to find out that it wasn't the first.

Marmite is this year celebrating its 100th birthday making it the original sandwich spread.

So, Marmite was first, is best and always will be.

[udon]

R........ you're as unbiased as me

[lampard10]

[Try Vegemite first,

then Marmite .

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's a bit like saying to someone about to try their first beer. ' Try water first'

[Sir Burr]

Marmite, the perfect product.

Marmite is a yeast extract that is a by product of brewing beer.

Did you know that Burton-on-Trent Breweries actually pay the Marmite company to collect it from their vats?

After it is collected and bottled, it is then sold to the public. Brilliant! They get paid twice and they don't even have to make it.

I like Marmite and vegemite. Marmite is stronger and is a bit more salty.

Marmite is British owned. Vegemite is owned by Kraft which used to be an American company.

Yup! You Aussies have to thank the Yanks for your vegemite!

Vegamite was actually invented accidently by a local working for the Australian group 'Men at Work'

When they wrote the song 'Down Under', they put 'Marmite' in the words, but the tea boy upset a cup of coffee on the script. Realising what he had done, the Abo, who could not read or write, inserted a couple of letters into it. Nobody realised until after the song had been released, so to save face, the Australian Prime Minister called a cabinet meeting and Vegamite was launched. It was quite easy really, all they did was water down Marmite and change the labels.

I love marmite but I also love vegemite.

Why do you all think of them as being competitors.

They are two different items.

The virtues of marmite were demonstrated by Mr Anthony J C Kerr

He cycled across the sahara and lived off marmite.

Oh dear..............................I've just sold a jar of Vegamite to an English girl, when we have loads of Marmite in stock now.

[BambinA]

Accept no substitutes! This is the real thing:

[Nickerelastic]

Bambi I don't particulary like marmite or vegemite straight out of the jar. I do however use it when cooking typical scottish dishes, similar to adding nam pla to asian food.

In other words you notice when it has been omitted from a dish.

[Totster]

Marmite and Dairylea sandwiches ... Mmmmm

I am afraid you cant believe this poster as he is talking out of his bum Just wondering fella who are the rugby world champions? And who is going to be taking the ashes home? And whos boxer got beaten just a couple of weeks ago?

Added to the fact you cant trust anything an aussie says to you because they are all the crims we sent from the uk many years ago Only joking fella dont take offence just a bit of fun

Anyway to get back on topic people say that you either love or hate marmite but this is simply just not true, i like OCASSIONALY a thin coat of it on my toast or in a sandwich but i cant eat too much

nice one pedro

[Jai Dee]

Try them both Bambi... and form your own decisions... the war between the Vegemite vs Marmite lovers has been around for ages and will probably only ever be won if one of two products is discontinued. Just a little word of advice... don't spread it on too thickly, as just a scrape is probably enough for an unseasoned palate such as yours.

My missus (Thai) enjoys Vegemite and cheese sandwiches from time to time... she was curious as to why I enjoyed them so much as an in-between-meals snack.

Now whenever I want one, she'll make one for herself as well.

Bambi, try it without the salami. Although there are many weird and wonderfull recipes and combinations for marmite and vegemite ,the most common way of eating it is on toast with butter or in a cheese sandwitch.

[Jai Dee]

Another favourite of mine is thinly spread on hot buttered toast, followed by a slice of cheese, topped off with a fried egg with some bacon and sliced tomatoes on the side... arroy mak mak!

[COBBER]

Marmite is British owned. Vegemite is owned by Kraft which used to be an American company.

Yup! You Aussies have to thank the Yanks for your vegemite!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

True, and in actual fact Kraft was taken over by Phillip Morris the cigarette company.

[LivinLOS]

Crumpets with marmite.. mmmmm melt some cheese onto and into them for added effect !!!

[BambinA]
