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.

Urgggghhhhhh!! Dalek food!! :eek:

[Nez]

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

[StuMegu]

Just Say No!!

[valinors_sorrow]

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!!

[J_9]

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.

[magprob]

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

[J_9]

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

Only rednecks!

[dmatos]

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.

[J_9]

Okay, so exactly what is this stuff anyway!!

[magprob]

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.

[dmatos]

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.

[J_9]

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.

[educatedhorse_2005]

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

[Nez]

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
