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. :lol:

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.

What? No Magic Brownie option?

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.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

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