Marmite is Kiwi. Vegemite is dirty Australian shit

Sorry to say but vegemite is infinitely superior

Re Marmite/Vegemite.
I once read/heard an Australian diplomat saying the greatest moment of his career was the look on the face of the Belgium government minister who thought the vegemite he'd put on his breakfast croissant was chocolate spread....
-
They’re all disgusting, but as an aside there was this girl that worked at my place called Avril, her nickname was Bovril. I suggested that this was a play on words. No, she’s a savoury spread.
Sadly, I cannot confirm this one way ar another.

There was an aussie couple who had a travel tube of Vegemite on that London-Beijing ride I did. They left it with me at the end - knowing I was doing a bit more travelling.
I used all but the very last of it in North Korea - and left the tube on the table in a hotel in Peongyang.
I still smile to this day imagining some North Korean picking it up, and squeezing the last little bit out to see/taste what sort of food the decadent Westerners travel around with. -

How did I miss this thread, so much Stockholm syndrome going on.
The worst time in my life was Marmageddon after the earthquake. I had stocked up when it happened but had a couple of weeks before production ramped up when I was marmite-less. I'm still in therapy to deal with the trauma now and in my quiet introspective times I can still taste the disgusting vegemite in my mouth and I dry heave.

I prefer vegemite on toast, but marmite on bread...

Do they like spicy food like in South Korea or is that all too decadently foreign? As I imagine some South Koreans might like it.

And then there's british marmite - a completely different beast from NZ marmite.
Anyway - Vegemite is the best. Has proper tang, rather than just sweetness.
One of the Unholy Trinity of good stuff from Australia: Nick Cave, Mad Max, Vegemite.That was a painful mistake for young wide eyed 23 year old me to make when rocking up in the UK. A mistake I made once and then I found the NZ store in London.

When I lived in Norway my boys were in a very multicultural kindergarten and they had one of those days where you could bring food from your national background. Not a single one of the Vegemite sandwiches I brought were touched. Philistines.
Vegemite trounces Marmite, but I'm a cheap arse and buy something called Mighty Mite from Aldi. Does the job.
