Marmite and Avacardo in a sandwich seem to go down well, though I normally prefer yeast before its been extracted from the alcohol

Marmite (Vegemite) & honey sandwich... (sarnie, buttie)

A Marmite is a heavy iron pot used to boil (simmer) a soup over a slow wood fire for a very long time. If you let it go long enough, you end up with a very thick sludge which lasts for ages, and is supposedly good for you...

Strictly speaking Vegemite is the Aussie answer to Marmite. It was allegedly going to be called "Pawill", but they decided to go with the name Vegemite.

My actual preference for taste is Promite....

The new Aussie OWNED spread is called MightyMite... :-) and the TV ad soundtrack is by a famous Aussie singer...

You can always use Bonox as a spread, but it's a bit runny.

I love marmite, cheese and onion sarnies. Cures colds a treat, tastes great (if a little anti social).

So we can take it from that that you like Marmite, Mr Red. A man of taste.

wouldn't the preservatives and caramelisers and other additives be in the soy sauce?

Marmite, Vegimite -- I think I used these to blow things up when I took classes in explosives and demolitions in the Army.

Take a quarter pound block of marmite, position it, stick a fused blasting cap in it, tamp it, light the fuse, walk quickly away....

But does it taste right without the brewers yeast and the preservatives and caramelisers and other additives?

You could make your own marmite - I always do!
You need some flaked yeast - I buy mine from one of those bulk food stores, called Bin Inn in New Zealand, but some of the supermarkets have it too. Don't use brewer's yeast or bread yeast, make sure it's the edible flaked variety.
Then mix it to the required cosistency with soy sauce!
There are different soy sauces too - light, dark, mushroom soy etc. Try each one and see which taste you like best. I prefer the mushroom soy - it's closer to the real marmite flavour.
It's very satisfying, mixing the two together in a wee bowl, and you can make it as thick or as runny as you wish.
Give it a try - it's very cheap that way, and of course, there are no preservatives or caramelisers or other additives either.

Anyb recipe you might use soy sauce you could use Marmite instead. I don't mean that it tastes just like soy sauce, but it'd work in tye recipr.

And if you mix in some Marmite into mashed potato it makes the potato tastier.

A Marmite Recipe:

Make a bread and butter pudding spreading Marmite on the slices of bread,(preferably wholwheat), sprinkle (or pile) grated cheese on top.

My youngest daughter's favourite dish (she's now 19 and it still is)

other thread
there have been other discussions on this and vegemite
apparently they are a by product of brewing
maybe sort of a waste product as the brewery
pays to have the stuff hauled away
lots of b vitamins
sort of reminds me of another salty substance
that can be used as a soup base: the asian food Miso from soybeans
