Vegemite, Marmite, Bovril (and "Bovrite")
All totally different yet similar in flavor; I enjoy them all but I understand some folks abhor the stuff(s). And yes I was born in the USA and have lived here pretty much always. and No, I voted for Trump.

I used to date a lass who grew up in Old Blighty. I ordered her some Marmite pretzels from across the pond. They were pretty damned tasty. That's my only exposure to any of the three.

I am in blissful ignorance about this subject despite having lived over much of the world.

Never tried any of them.

I tried Vegemite once around age 16 when I was in Aussieland. The stuff tasted like seawater I'd accidentally swallowed off the Texas coast. Never tried it again, though I used to keep a jar around in case I got the inclination to.

Same here, but I'd try them if offered. I doubt I'd go out of my way to find them.SoupOrMan wrote:Never tried any of them.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

You guys do know Vegemite is made from brewery waste, right?
