Royston Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Probably more aimed at the members from the UK, but Marmite...love it or hate it ? Incidentally whilst in Nicaragua a few years ago, a British lad had brought some over. We were all sat round a table for dinner with some travellers from the states, when he revealed the little black jar of yeasty goodness. The people from the states were almost angry at the thought of consuming such a tar like substance...'My God, what's the matter with you people, you eat this stuff !!!' Is Marmite readily available in any other countries ? Is this stange viscous spread only enjoyed by the British...like battered (deep fried) Mars Bars (I've yet to try these, but they sound repulsive.) I personally love Marmite, I used to scoop it from the jar as a child, though I'm the only person I know who had this habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 My friend sent me Marmite from the UK, I don't think its readily available here. What's the difference between Marmite and Vegemite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 My friend sent me Marmite from the UK' date=' I don't think its readily available here. What's the difference between Marmite and Vegemite?[/quote'] Marmite was originally a bi-product from the fermentation process...I think this puts some people off. http://www.marmite.com/love/history/ Vegemite is also a yeast extract spread but has other vegetable additives. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/VegemiteHistory.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I love both of them, the difference being is that Marmite`s alot easier to spread from cold. I put mine on a bit thicker than most folks like it (Butter thickness), but then I`m a sucker for salt anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a good substitute for my Marmite cravings, and yes Marmite does have a high salt content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the stuff personally, the rest of the world not having marmite is well justified IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 wtf is marmite I've supplied a link in my second post, though you'll probably think Marmite lovers are a bit demented.

Tetrahedrite Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 You won't find many true-blue Aussies who don't like vegemite!!! Marmite, on the other hand, is far too salty for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yeah, I can take marmite, but I prefer vegemite; less salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tash =) Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 It's Marmite NZ's 95th birthday this year! Happy Birthday Marmite (Although NZ Marmite is different from the UK Marmite that I think most of you guys are talking about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 what is marmite actually supposed to taste of?? even the thoght of smelling it makes me cringe Marmite was stumbled across, and it's taste is unique. So I guess marmite tastes of marmite. Twiglets taste of marmite...but you can't really say marmite tastes of twiglets as marmite came first. Twiglest are intentionally supposed to taste of marmite.
