Marmite is better than Vegemite . It's smoother and less piquant .

Well - it's really not as gritty as Vegemite and has a less "aggressive" taste that can be hidden in slathered amounts of soy sauce . :thanks

834112 2009-11-27 18:04:00 Are you talking about New Zealand made Marmite? Or the English stuff?
My English friend reckons they taste different, I have only tried our NZ stuff
myself, but I agree Marmite does taste better than Vegemite.
You can make your own yeast spread out of Brewers yeast, Garlic, Soy sauce, a little
Honey and Cayenne or Chilli powder mix, with a little Lemon juice and store in the fridge
(otherwise it might ferment!).:drool

834113 2009-11-27 18:24:00 Correct SurferJoe46, Marmite is a far more subtle taste and as such attracts the sophisticated palate, ditto with Coke vs Pepsi.

My favourite sauce: HP Sauce, try some, you won't regret it.

I can also recommend, from South Africa: Mrs H.S. Ball's Original Recipe Chutney, try it with some cheese or on almost any meat dish.

With that comment Joe, we have just made you an honorary Kiwi .

Now you have to learn the haka and have a feed of pork and puha ( a boilup)

Ken ;);)

And learn to drive on the left hand side of the road .

The English stuff has a real kick to it that the bland NZ Vegemite doesn't have although I eat both the first one is my preferred option

Coke v Pepsi = Royal Crown (RC) Cola

Over here HP makes computers and printers and they don't really homogenize well into anything palatable.

834120 2009-11-28 06:22:00 I have tried both and preferred the Vegemite over the Marmite. convair (13650)
