Why would you want Marmite, the evil cousin of the delectable Vegemite?

A cousin it may be, but a very poor cousin (yuk). I am told it is made from putrefied click beetles, no?

Hubby brought me back a huge jar of proper Marmite along with my 2 tubs of Bisto, now I will be happy for the next 6 months! The marmite out here is not the same as the Uk stuff.

Before discovering Vegemite, I quite liked Marmite. Now I find it ridiculously acidic and only good with lettuce Otherwise it's Vegemite all the way. It's also good for putting in soups and stocks (better than Marmite in that respect too)

Have you found the proper marmite or the ausie version (the one in the plastic tub with a red label????) cant stand the stuff myself but daughter and husband are quite addicted and they say the ausie version just isnt the real deal???
We've used 3 large jars that we bought with us, was planning to stock up in the uk next week but if i can get it here there'll be room for another pair of shoes or two!!!

Kenmore plaza shopping center. (Moggil Rd.) A butcher's just across from Woolworths. Got marmite at the front of the shop.
It's a bunch of shops, Mcdonalds and a pub etc, not a massive shopping complex. It's got a big car park.
Remember Kenmore plaza, not to be confused with Kenmore shopping village which is just up the road.

BTW did you ask why they have it? There must be a specific reason, like maybe it's owned by a Brit?

Might have posted this before but :-
The reason it tastes different is that Marmite ( both versions) are made as a by-product of beer / ale, so UK marmite from nice dark bitter tastes different to OZ Marmite, from blond ales.
Marmite name in OZ/NZ is Aussie ( or NZ ) version. Genuine 'UK Marmite' - in NZ anyway goes by name of My Mate ( remember the ad ) according to my daughter.
They have a toll of at least one large jar of genuine UK Marmite from all visitors from home
