Marmite vs Vegemite


Toast Mountain Climbing - Daisy Reaches The Summit

We thought we might end up being toast ourselves, because we were a bit rude to He Who Must be Obeyed in our last posting.

But he's a good sport, and saw the funny side of it. Here in Australia they eat Vegemite which is a spread made from yeast and the carcasses of dead Australians. Their website says it has been proudly made Down Under since 1923.

They reckon it is better than Marmite, but we know better. It isn't. Marmite on toast is like a delicious savoury bite of heaven. Vegemite is bitter and has the subtle background flavour of grilled inner tubes.
Marmite, they reckon, has been made since 1680, Bruce! They did not call it Marmite then, but even so, the first Marmite factory was started in 1902. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Sheila!
