Cute sight Carol!!

Marmite seems to have more edge as you say Morty, butVegemite has a nice bite to it too, a bit more subtle in it's flavor.

I don't care.....I'M STOCKED!!!!!

G'day,

Here I've finally got time for a coffee at the Mudcat Café for the first time in a year. And....

Here, you are all still squabbling about the merits of Marmite and Vegemite? What's going on...?

Nobody has mentioned

BOVRIL?

C'mon McGrath (of Harlow) you must know that product...;)

Somewhat more fluid than Mar/Vegemite - but, like them thrundering good when watered down with hot water as a "beef broth".

But they make Bovril out of bits of mad cows...

Yeah - I meant to phrase the above as Ma/Vegemite being a substitute for the mad-cow bits of Bovril, as a drink - but it doesn't read right (or write left)...;)

Having been brought up on Marmite and a daily consumer of the product until age 23 when I emigrated to Australia, where I was introduced to Vegemite......

The answer is definitely,

VEGEMITE - VEGEMITE - VEGEMITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha ha ha !!!! Vegemite isn't MEANT to be eaten!!! Fooled you all!!!!

You rub it into your boots to make them waterproof.

It's also good for lubricating hinges.

It's made out of whale blubber.

I'm afraid that this Aussie has forsaken Vegemite (after 25 years of consumption) and fallen for an imposter - Promite. It is sweeter and has more flavour than the old V which is bitter in comparison. I don't feel too bad though seeing as how Kraft isn't Aussie owned! My favourite camping food now consists of Promite & Cheese toasted sandwiches... even when I can catch fish!

My mum used to put vegemite in her gravy to give it a bit of colour and flavour...

There are many uses for beer scum (actually I've met some beer scum, but then I went to a different pub...)

Hiya Billy-the-bus/Sam. Great to see you here again. Been wondering how you are getting on over there in sheep country. Keep those wellies handy (snicker snicker).

Wotz "wellies" Helen? I prefer gumboots.

Don't think I'll have much time to stir the Mud (no that's for Kat) but will do my best....;)

Apologies for the above replication of posts...

One virgin was to be posted in another thread --- and the system went cranky --- before I'd finished writing.

Must've overdosed on Vege/Marmite...;)

Will try to find where I was in the Mudbath..;)

Sam, how the hell ya' been? Are the sheep complaining they need a break or are you back for good? I think a lot of folks have genuinely missed you. I wasn't one of them, but I'm sure there are some. Just had my daily dose of Vegemite so I give you a Welcome salute........

I just found a new use for Marmite today and it is DEElishus!!!! I was eating some vanilla creme sandwich cookies today (365 Brand, no hydrogenated oils!), and decided they needed a little flavor kick. Opened up the cookie, spread a thin layer of Marmite, closed the cookie. Yum yum! Surprisingly good.

Hagbard, take some aspirin, have a cup of tea and a good lie down and these feelings will go away.

Vanilla creme sandwich cookies and Marmite??!!

I haven't had Vegemite or Marmite, but I have eaten solid soy sauce.

Will either of those make me as sick as the congealed soy sauce did? ;P

Two sandwiche recipes,

1) Two slices of bread type of your choice, butter / margerine type spread of your choice, on one slice - marmite, on the other - taramasalata with peanuts! Slap together, eat.

2) You need one of those sandwiche toasters for this - Two slices of white bread that fits your toaster, butter of choice, one one slice marmite, on the other peanut butter. Place slice with peanut butter on the bottom half of toaster, place baked beans on top, put slice with marmite on top of that and cook!

Honest, they both taste really good!

Vegemite or Marmite? Phooey! The only real choice is mangos. Got that? Mangos.

Nothing like a nice sliced mango while listening to repeated playings of "Space Oddity".

I have to have my vegemite toast to start the day, or the eyes won't open - with a nice cup of tea, of course.

One thing worth knowing - if you have been sick and off your food for a few days, one of the first things that goes down well as you are recovering, is toast and vegemite. I know a lot of people who swear by this.

This may have been posted before, but here goes.......

We're happy little vegemites, as bright as bright can be,
We all enjoy our vegemite for breakfast lunch and tea.
Our mummies say we're growing stronger ev'ry single week
Because we love our vegemite, we all adore our vegemite,
It puts a rose in ev'ry cheek.
We're growing stronger ev'ry week!

If you put Vegemite jingle into Google, you will get a website with the song, along with some other very strange websites, such as a version a-la-Stevie Wonder, and there was something about happy little sodomites........

As for Marmite - yuccccccccccch!
