    From some reviews Ive seen, they taste wildly different. Same idea, behind the product though. From what Ive heard, vegemite has a more vegetal taste, while marmite has a more yeasty/bready taste like a dark ale.

      They also have a completely different consistency. Spreading vegemite is very similar to butter, marmite is thick and syrupy and drips everywhere and makes a mess. I prefer vegemite.

    • I might actually like marmite then. As long as it’s not super, super salty like I remember the Vegemite being. Though, to be fair to Vegemite, I tried it way back when I was still in the cub scouts (not even bou scouts yet) so it might just have been offensive to my undeveloped taste buds.

        Perhaps. I know even some native Aussies dont care for Vegemite either.

        I havent had either, so I can only go off of what Ive read. But Id be down to try it, given the chance. I think Vegemite might be great as an umami kick in stews and things, like bullion base.
