Yes! I have!!
Bought some when I was down your way - it's taste like our Marmite and you either love it or hate it (as the ad says!!) :)

Yes, Nutsy - it's available in all our supermarkets. I'm in the 'love it' camp!

I love Marmite, but I'm not keen on Vegemite - I tried it once at an Australian friends house and was not impressed.

yeeeuuuuucccccckkkkkkYEEEEUUUUUCCCCKKKK
I HATE Marmite !
Sorry for those fans out there, but I'm with the tramp in the TV ad who chucks the donated sarnie back to the guy.
It's put me right off me tea now;)
Nutsty - sorry, guess that means I wouldn't like Vegemite, either.

LOVE Marmite, but I'm not convinced about Vegemite - it's a bit tasteless in comparison. I prefer Marmite as it has more bite!

Hey Hilary:wave:
Vegemite packs a good punch............it sure has a good bite...........tho I can't remember what Marmite tastes like.........I do know that vegemite is quite bitter if you use too much of it...........:p :Pinkbounc :bounce:

Marmite is much more intense than Vegemite I think....although quite similar in flavour.
I prefer our Marmite!

My neighbor brought back a jar of Vegemite from Australia and we had it at one of our neighborhood picnics.
I loved it.
Nutsy, did we do this wrong? We were told to put a little butter on a cracker and then the vegemite. I liked it with or without the butter :)
Aloha,

Definitely prefer Marmite, thought Vegimite tasted a bit like gravy, not much of a kick. Think that jar might be in my cupboard a long, long time.....

Marmite/Vegimite no thank you!
Obviously an acquired taste.

Yep, a little butter first then a thin scraping of vegemite is the way to do it. But then my 13 yr old plasters vegemite on to bun loaf & bread without butter. Butter helps with the spreading of it tho..
When I was a kid I used to love vegemite cracker biscuits. I would first of all spread butter, then the vegemite then put a top biscuit on (with holes) then squeeze them together till I got WORMS!!!!
COOL!!!:p :Pinkbounc :bounce:
