Is that stuff similar or the same as vegimite? I’ve had vegimite. Hated it.
Yes supposed to be similar. Ideally you’re supposed to put just a small, barely there smear over butter on toast. Too much it’s bad. This is second hand because I’ve not had the…pleasure.
Yes, this is spot on. So many Aussies introduce unsuspecting tasters to napalm levels of Vegemite that it turns people off for life. It’s like, “Hey champ, let me spread this cube of beef bouillon on your toast; you’re gonna love it.” Marmite has more of a yeasty flavor and, for the record, Promite beats them all hands down.
Nah heap it on, and some coon cheese too cant beat it
I feel like I’m walking into a trap even though I’m fairly well traveled. What is “coon cheese?”
I’m guessing you milk a raccoon and then process that lovely raccoon milk into cheese 🤷
That’s just what a viking hippie would say.
Yep! We are indeed famous for our Bandit Brie and our Scavenger Sardo. Our Trash Tapas aren’t half bad either.
It’s a brand name of cheese that is ubiquitous in Australia. They recently rebranded to “Cheer” due to the racist connotations of their former name.
Great stuff
Yeah, use about as much as you would use salt on something. It’s basically flavored salt.
From some reviews Ive seen, they taste wildly different. Same idea, behind the product though. From what Ive heard, vegemite has a more vegetal taste, while marmite has a more yeasty/bready taste like a dark ale.
They also have a completely different consistency. Spreading vegemite is very similar to butter, marmite is thick and syrupy and drips everywhere and makes a mess. I prefer vegemite.
I might actually like marmite then. As long as it’s not super, super salty like I remember the Vegemite being. Though, to be fair to Vegemite, I tried it way back when I was still in the cub scouts (not even bou scouts yet) so it might just have been offensive to my undeveloped taste buds.
Perhaps. I know even some native Aussies dont care for Vegemite either.
I havent had either, so I can only go off of what Ive read. But Id be down to try it, given the chance. I think Vegemite might be great as an umami kick in stews and things, like bullion base.
Marmite is actually saltier
Marmite is too salty for me on bread. However I love it as an ingredient for sauces, soups etc. great umami flavour.
Yeah, I use it the same way. It’s great for taking soups and stews to the next level.
Marmite slander smh
Tried Vegemite recently. It sort of tasted like thick soy sauce on toast. Kinda good!
I love vegimite,
Make sure you spread it thinly! The #1 mistake made by people who didn’t grow up with it is to spread it thick like jam.
A thin spread of Vegemite on top of a spread of butter is one of the classic foods of many an Aussie growing up for a reason!
Ive never actually tried Marmite or Vegemite, but I would like to someday. I think Id be ok with it. I like savory stuff.
If you enjoy savory and salty stuff it’s pretty good. I personally enjoy it but I absolutely get the hate lol.
You’re also not supposed to use too much because it’s really strong. A thin layer on already buttered toast is good imo, the butter helps it spread a bit better.
I’m probably the only one who does this, but I really like a small bit of Vegemite on a buttered cinnamon raisin English muffin. The saltiness with the sweet muffin is actually really good.
Marmite on warm toast is 🔥🔥🔥
With lots of butter/buttery spread… 🤤
I’m a Marmite puritan and so forgo the decadence of butter, but to each his own.
I’ve never met anyone who has it neat, no judgment, I’ll occasionally lick the knife of neat marmite, but having it on toast on its own makes my mouth dry just thinking about it… But hey, to each their own! lol
Marmite featured prominently in Taskmaster, from the last days when the contestants were consistently weird enough for TM to be really good
Somewhere there is an outtakes reel with Sally Phillips and Alex Horne pouring absinthe on toast and eating it and getting drunk
I love Marmite, but it fucks with my blood pressure.
Yes. The truth. Marmite is fucking awful.
Vegemite on the other hand elevates a simple slice of bread to a 3 star Michelin masterpiece
More for me… ¯\(ツ)/¯
