Apparently Vegemite is really big in Australia as well as other countries. Whether you love it or hate it, Vegemite is big enough to be main topics of discussions and debates. The “Marmite vs. Vegemite” theme has been argued for ages and ages. Avid Marmite fans can’t stand Vegemite and vice versa.
The only word i could use to describe loyal Vegemite lovers is “enthusiastic”… and they let the world knows it. LOL. Yeah all the craze and fuss over yeast extracts is incredible… and i just clicked on the “become a fan” button of Facebook. LOL.
Kraft Vegemite
Just for the record i love, love, love Marmite since i was a child and even now if there was Marmite in the kitchen it’ll be emptied by the end of the week. My favorite way of eating Marmite is to dilute half a spoon in hot water then mix with rice. I love Marmite mixed with porridge too. Delicious!
Dad used to tell me that it’s bad too take too much of Marmite because it’s made from oyster or something no doubet because of the runny brown paste very much like oyster sauce. Really! You can’t believe a word he says LOL. Thanks to him i always thought so until recently.
That’s a bit too much!
Vegemite taste similar to Marmite although not the same. Vegemite has a thicker and stickier appearance and it’s more salty compared to Marmite. Vegemite has a stronger taste to it and is slightly bitter. However, Vegemite doesn’t taste as good as Marmite if diluted, Vegemite somehow just taste extremely salty diluted and lost it’s flavor.
I find the best way to eat Vegemite is to spread it on toasts or crackers. A thin layer of Vegemite on toasts is great! No kidding. I’m a fan now.
Have a look at the cute commercial.
Should spread a layer of butter or magarine on toast first before spreading Marmite. It should be lightly spread unlike the one pictured above. Then the toast is cut diagonally into triangles. BEST eaten with half boiled eggs. Just dipped into the eggs. Huuuweeh!!!
