being a brit, i cannot let this is go, especially as we thrashed the aussies in the ashes this summer (freddie we love you), without saying...
vegemite is a poor copy of the original yeast extract spread, Marmite, which was created in 1902...marmite is know as the 'growing up spread' in the UK, and is as loved (and loathed by others) as vegemite is in australia....i believe they use the left over yeast from the production of guiness (yummy)
i am presently sitting here with a jar of marmite and vegemite in front of me, and i can tell you that vegemite contains:
yeast extract, salt, mineral salt, malt extract, natural colour (150d), preservative 220, vegetable extract, niacin, thiamin, ribofavin and folate
whereas marmite contains,
yeast extract, salt, vegetable extract, niacin, thiamin, spice extracts, riboflavin, folic acid, celery extract and vitamin b12 (no preservatives or added colour!!)
marmite, in my opinion, has a much more distinctive taste, and is a vastly superior product
(my girlfriend is an aussie, so i'm now sporting a lovely new bruise on my arm, but it was worth it)
good luck with the 100 posts...a very generous offer and idea

I'll stick with Smuckers all Natural Peanut Butter (Ingredients: Peanuts, salt) and honey (ingredients: honey), but given the opportunity, I would love to try either marmite or vegemite.

be warned...they are both an 'aquired taste'...my half brother, who is swedish, loves to eat something called 'surstrumming' which is basically created by getting some rotting fish, putting it in a tin, sealing the tin for about 5 years, then eating it!! it is, without question, the much revolting thing i have ever smelt (the swedes say that it tastes like a fine cheese) he also eats vacuum-packed dry sheep's heads (apparently the cheeks taste the best)...anyway, the point of this is that he cannot stand marmite and thinks we are mad to eat it!!

once the taste has been aquired, then this question answers itself

Coffee and beer are acquired tastes. I like to acquire some tastes.

Umm...sorry, for me it has to be answered well before aquiring since it is asked immediately upon the 1st taste.

Vegemite: only Australians could come up with something as nauseating as that stuff...
