OK following on from the Weird food combo thread, I would like to find out about everyone's views on the great Marmite/Vegemite debate.
On the whole people tend to be separated into love or loathe with nothing between.
So time for a poll.

If any Americans could let me know what their equivalent is that would be great.

UGGGGGG UGGGGGG
Loathe it ;)

Urgggghhhhhh!! Dalek food!! :eek:

这得到非常silly.No 更多please.And 当您在它, 通过大黄乳蛋糕。 ;)

Just Say No!!

My culinary awareness is not vast but.. .
American equivalency: maybe some really good southern dirt mixed with a bit of atlantic ocean water?? :eek:

Disgusting, I hate it!!

Never tried it to tell the truth, but I was told to "just say NO!!!" and run in the opposite direction as fast as possible.

I never tried it, but I hear it makes really effective crocodile repellant.

Good thing I don't have to worry about that here!!

Only rednecks!

Salty, meaty, excellent in a cheese or cucumber sandwich, or when spread thinly on buttered toast.

In a pinch, it can be used in place of beef broth to make a vegan meal.

My only regret is that I can't get it in the 1lb jars in this country.

Okay, so exactly what is this stuff anyway!!

I don't think anyone really knows for sure. We may have to send a sample to the lab. Get me some rubber gloves, a scapel, and a cracker.

It's a yeast extract. Black like tar. Salty as anything. If you've ever had bovril, kind of like that. Tastes like licking an oxo cube.

Hey, Magpie, send me some and I will put it on a petrie plate in the lab and see what bacteria grows on it.

He** I still have no freaking idea what it is, other than gross.

Never had marmite
But vegemite wasn't to bad
One person told me the american equivalent was peanut butter WRONG

It's sewage,mixed with road-tar,and gravel,given a smell like six month old smelly socks,and then matured in jars for fifty years.Yuk.It's horrible. :(

Philistines. I'm guessing that you'd turn down a nice roquefort as well. Americans and their weak taste buds.

When I get hold of a nice chunk of sheep's milk Roquefort you best not even try reaching for some or you might pull back a stump! But I do have a little crème and sugar with just a squeeze of lemon in my hot tea. :p
