Marmite Or Vegemite

Marmite or Vegemite, which is the best?
If you dont know then you won't pass the test
One is a milder and lighter brown paste
While the other is darker with a meatier taste
So if you've not tried them please give them a go
Or ask Deb or Tom and they'll let you know ;-)



Dedicated to Tom Cunningham (Sir Tom's Marmite Army) and to Deb M (The Queen of the Kingdom of Vegemite)

Hi Andrea, I wasn't aware of a contest about this back when I wrote it. I was just inspired to write it after reading the fun bantering between Tom and Deb about Marmite versus Vegemite. Thanks for visiting my page. Hugs ~ Anne :-)

Hi Ann, Both are definitely an acquired taste and not everyone likes the taste of either brand. But Vegemite is the best hands down and you don't need a lot. Just a small amount to spread on toast. (Marmite.. Yuck!!) Save your money and buy the real stuff. Vegemite is the winner. :-D Cheers my friend :-)
