Is it even LIKE marmite?

PP Marmite fan x

Marmite = harsh taste - strips the skin from my gums.
Vegemite = same taste but less harsh (easier to consume IMO).

for aussies generaly..it is either vegemite..or marmite....some do love marmite...and some hate it..some love vegemite and hate it...:blink:

i grew up on vegemite...probably have had it at least once a day in my life..except now..where i can't buy it!!

there are many health benefits to vegemite...high in Bvitamins etc..not too sure about the break down of marmite..hmmm ;)

some trivia!

Did You Know?:confused:

22.7 million jars of Vegemite are manufactured in Australia every year - that's 235 jars per minute.

30 jars are sold in Australia for every one exported.

Vegemite is in nine out of ten pantries in Australia.

I don't think vegemite tastes anything like Marmite.

It has not got as strong a taste. Don't dislike vegemite but given the choice would much rather have Marmite.
