.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.
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.

I like both, and have, in fact, had both on a piece of toast at once. If there was a Marmite/Vegemite dating app, I'd describe myself as bispreadual.

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.

Marmite is Kiwi. Vegemite is dirty Australian shit
Grew up on both living on both sides of the Ta$man at various times
Sorry to say but vegemite is infinitely superior

@Bones It is sweet, with a distinct caramel flavor, but it is also a lot sharper. Very punchy with the umami. Maybe the two balance themselves out?
EDIT: definitely not smoky, but I never got that from the UK marmite. Maybe I am insensitive to that flavour?

@Bones Maybe I have some kind of psychological association, but vegemite to me tastes like a distinct, and unpleasant, flavour that dominates when I have a cold. Probably psychological! Really strong but in a completely off putting way. Not a classic MSG/umami taste.
