lolol

I'm not a great Vegemite fan...... a scrape is enough for me. DH lays it on so thick, you can see teethmarks! ewwwwwww

My favourite is vegemite on a toasted English muffin, with a poached egg on top. YUM or a scrape of vegemite on crackers, with cheese & tomato.

Marmite?

Someone told me the original name for vegemite was Pawill :-0

as in Marmite, but Pawill :-D

No idea how it got called Vegemite, there are no vegetables in it, it's a yeast extract.

I found marmite flatbreads whilst on holiday - they're delicious.
I've spent the past 3 months trying to find some more :-(

I think you have to be born an Ozzie to like Vegemite. Even though I am a great Marmite fan I cannot stand Vegemite.

I have heard that it is very effective as a shark repellent which if true would not surprise me.

In the UK Vegemite on the shelf is a sure sign of something.

Vegemite with macaroni cheese sounds good to me.

I was born in Scotland........... and I like vegemite, but only a wee bit. I'd never put it on haggis...... because I don't like haggis. :-)

I saw vegemite in some supermarkets in England, but never saw it in Scotland, but... I found it in Germany!


:-D

I like marmite ( marmite cheese yum)

but vegemite is horrible, it tastes like dead sprouts ( I like sprouts but not the flat tasting dead ones ;-) )

Funny thing is........ I never had Marmite when I lived in Scotland as a child.

I don't think I saw it in any of my rellies houses when I've visited as an adult.... that includes rellies in Scotland and England.

I am born and bred North London ( Not a bit of Ozzie in me ) and a great vegemite fan, can't stand Marmite :-P.

We always had Marmite in the house when I was at home ................ Mum would add a small amount to stews, etc


I hadn't met Vegemite until we lived in OZ in 1975/76

tried it, didn't like it :-(

I was brought up on marmite with boiled egg and soldiers. Funny thing when i married and moved up here, none of my inlaws ate marmite. I got them to try it and they hated it!

However I treied veggimite years ago and it was awful more like Bovril...couldnt stand it.

Think Marmite is an English taste as I havent found any Scots who like it!
