My mother's exactly the same. She loves Mamite crisps but not Marmite spread.

I LOVE Marmite and often have it on toast/toasties and add it to a lot of the things I cook. Vegemite is very nice also.

I have to admit i have never dared tried vegemite just in case it wasn't the same, does it taste just like marmite?

It's sort of the same, though for me it doesn't taste as strong and doesn't have the runny consistency of Marmite. I think it's a lot more subtle but still as delicious. Treat yourself to a pot; what's the worst that could happen?!

moogiechompy · 29/12/07 - 01:44

you're right, I may just give vegemite a go then, but have to admit squeezy runny marmite, in the squeezy jar / type things.....it's the future

Marmite on toast is fab.

Once I had to eat nothing for 24 hours (prior to a colonoscopy) and survived on drinks of just marmite dissolved in hot water.

It's a decision you won't regret!

I've not tried the squeezy Marmite jars yet; I'm still a glass jar luddite.

I'll try one when I next need some Marmite, which should be very soon, as it goes!

I like Marmite. I once tried a supermarket own brand though and it wasn't the same, maybe vegemite is more like that?

*vomit*
Marmite is revolting.

I love Marmite on toast, Marmite crisps, and I also like Marmite on a jacket potato with beans.

[Deleted User] · 29/12/07 - 22:56

Marmite with jam and cheese in a sandwich - my dad used to have it and so I tried it and its yummy. I used to have Marmite and Egg sandwiches in my packed lunch for school.
I do get annoyed at the price of it, and can't find a reasonable alternative. I suppose the biggest jars are better value but it seems so much to spend on one item.

ScottishWoody · 29/12/07 - 22:57

Ew, tried it once and decided I hate marmite.

Although that was years ago, and I have developed a few more tastes since then (like Beer, Nuts, Toffee) so maybe its time for a re-taste.

Then again maybe not

[Deleted User] · 29/12/07 - 23:04

Ooh Marmite is fantastic. I've got a big jar of it that I need to open up. Everyone I know who doesn't like marmite has either spread too much (a light scraping is best) on or eaten it with something ridiculous - rivita. Rivita is vile all by itself, spreading marmite on is not going to improve it. Heck you could spread jam on rivita and it would still taste vile.

Vegemite on the other hand was vile. It doesn't taste like marmite, nor the shops own brand marmite. This was years ago though, so they may have changed the recipe by now.

My ex said she did that the first time she had marmite - spread it on as you would butter or jam!

I like marmite, and having been losing weight I find it's good - a a couple of slices of wholewheat toast spread with a little marmite....the taste lingers all morning in the mouth and I don't feel hungry!

I used to love those Marmite crisps, wish they would make them vegan

. Never thought to try Marmite on my JP & beans, (often put Worcester sauce on) but I will now - thanks for that!

The sesame seed one is nice though

, well it is with mushroom pate on.

Noooooooo, it's vile, it's the worst thing I ever tasted in my life! Honestly, I bought a jar and had to throw it away, yuck! (I love Marmite, have it on toast most days for lunch)

You might find you like it now. I always thought it was repellent and revolting but about 12months ago I tried it, and loved it - then I really got into it. I haven't had it for a while though, now.

It's funny how your taste does change because I'd also never touch wotsits and tomato's and i like them now too.

But I've never liked tea or coffee, and really wish that would change for me (then I could join in more!)

moogiechompy · 30/12/07 - 09:56

I guess I'll give vegemite a miss, I've never tried own supermarket brands either, the closest I've got to a little bit different was my little jar of Guiness marmite, I reallly hope they bring that out again for St Patricks day this year, yum:)I also spied out shopping a few months ago a packet of little marmite cheddars, they are lovely for a little snack, but have not been able to find a big block of the stuff, which might be a good thing really:o

There was a Christmas market in my town a couple of weeks ago, various speciality stalls from local producers, including a cheese stall and they had a marmite cheddar, very nice it was too!

*Liam* · 30/12/07 - 10:34

oh i love it too, i love cheese wih it alot!

Radiomaniac · 30/12/07 - 15:06

I love Marmite and Vegemite on toast - however they don't like me, so I can't have them anymore! (And yes, I only ever had a very light scraping of it).

A short while after eating either of them, I get a horrible stomach ache and feel sick. Also I'm sure the salt content is very high.
