Marmite is like concentrated vegemite (a concept that will bring tears to the eyes of many). It's 'stringier' than vegemite and not as easily spread. Vegemite has the consistency of margarine, and you can buy it by the tub down here (I think I've seen it in 750ml tubs) cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
You have got to be kidding me! Vegemite is just a diluted marmite? Holy crap, here I was being led to believe vegemite is industrial strength marmite on steriods. Then you tell me that actually marmite, which I have spread thickly on toast every day, is more potent? Come on, marmite granted is strong,but it hardly strips the paint off walls you know. My regard of vegemite, and it's proponents, has gone vastly down. :( ;P regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

Slice of good, thick toast. Spread with butter, then spread with a thin layer of vegemite. Add *thin* slices of tomato and sprinkle with black pepper. Yeah baby! OR To get the full experience you really need two salada biscuits (kind of a thick water cracker in a large square shape that has dotted lines that enable you to snap it into 4 smaller square biscuits). Spread both biscuits with butter and vegemite. Press together firmly so that worms of vegemite ooze out of the holes in the biscuits. Oh yeah! OR Grab some biscuits like Jatz or Ritz (like Captains wafers, but thicker and badder for you). Spread with butter, vegemite, and a slice of good tasty cheese. The cheese bit will be very difficult in the States since I've never been able to find cheese with any taste over there. If you want to get really gourmet then top this with half a cocktail onion. It's all class. OR Traditional. Slice of bread, butter, vegemite. An American friend kept trying vegemite and kept hating it till the day he tried it with butter. Evidently for those who weren't weened on vegemite from the day they entered this world, butter is the crucial factor. Start off light with the vegemite and work your way up to a quarter inch layer. You will be dubbed honourary Ocker Australian when you can eat the stuff directly out of the jar with a spoon. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

> Press together firmly so that worms of vegemite ooze out of the holes in the biscuits. It's got worms in it? You guys are freaks. :)
John the biscuits in question have holes in it, when you squeeze them together the Vegemite and butter ooze out and look in some peoples eyes like worms. It is actually left organic material from the beer making process. Mmmm yummy. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join.

Being from England, and not entirely au fait with the joys of Vegemite, I was wondering if anyone knows how this stuff compares with Marmite. Certainly the description of the taste of Vegemite as "overwhelming" sounded similar, but I was wondering if I should participate in this experiment, or it wasn't too different. Anyone? Rich.
Marmite sucks big time, Vegemite is the Real Deal and tastes much better. Definitely join in and give it a go. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

Ah - so now you understand grasshoper. Australians (mostly - there are some throwbacks) claim that vegemite is the food of the Gods. Americans and Canadians (apart from Ed Worsfold) fear vegemite because "it's a little salty" (or some such rubbish). We never understand their dislike, and continually point at them and laugh when they make claims as to the toxicity of vegemite. So marmite boy - stop eating that gooey stringy stuff that just never spreads properly (hence the inch thick layer) and get some vegie into ya! cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Just try it. Been a while since I tried Marmite but my memory is it just tasted like shit not that it was stronger. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

throwbacks Chris, I will be coming through Canberra early next year, and I'll come looking for two people. My ex-wife, and you !!!! ;P Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.
