      Marmite is essentially the same thing, but Vegemite is slightly better.

      While Marmite is extremely sticky, Vegemite is easier to spread. It’s extremely salty, and yeasty with a bitter aftertaste.

      I like it on plain toast with butter and an almond sized amount. It’s great as a sandwich with some sharp white cheddar, lettuce and tomato.

      I also add it in the beef for hamburger patties, or I add it to cover my pot roast along with some mustard, butter and herbs before putting that in a slow cooker.

      While I don’t agree with the other replier to you, I will caution anyone who wants to try it that they only need a small amount spread on toast and if you go slapping it on like Hazelnut spread, you’ll get a bit of a surprise.

      Edit And today I learned vegemite has a fortified b vitamin version…

        I mean the people that I’ve seen spread it like peanut butter (hazelnut spread equivalent). It’s not vile like the taste of a durian but it’s something that invokes a medicine type taste that leaves you squinting one eye and bobbing your head.

          I imagine most people’s reaction to Vegemite is like my recent first reaction to Wasabi. If I get too much out of the jar with the knife, odds are it is t going back in.
