Vegemite v Marmite
-

@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.

UK Marmite > Vegimite > NZ Marmite for me

They’re both absolute shit

Google says Bovril is a beef and yeast extract product

@Tim I think UK marmite is probably pretty similar to Vegemite, I can't really think what the difference might be now...seems a bit deeper and less sharp.
I'd agree in that I similarly can't stand either of them.

Mrs TR gets the UK Marmite (Our Mate in NZ) and typically the UK Marmite is a more 'viscous' (is that the right word?) consistency than vegemite, probably between treacle/golden syrup and vegemite/marmite?

@taniwharugby i think more "runny" would be "less viscous"...but yeah, i like it because its a bit easier to spread
