I like both but Vegimite is ever so slightly nicer.

Vegemite or Marmite?
Easy to answer. Marmite evey time. However I understand the Aussies are very keen on their Vegimite. can't understand why though!

Same for me......Love bovril too, the beef drink and spread that is now suitable for vegetarians......

Vegemite is ok, if spread thinly on a slice of pappy white bread and used as fish bait, so I can safely say it has its uses.
Marmite is the earwax of the dedil, a foul noxious poison that needs a yuck warning.
Bovril is the spread of choice for people with a discerning palette. It is fantastic if spread on warm toast just before you place a thin slice of ham, over which you spread grated cheese before toasting it to a bubbling mass of deliciousnessness.
It also makes a great beefie drink,

Tadpole, I take it you are not too keen on marmite!! I still think it is a very versatile substance, even my dog loves it.

Marmite every time smothered over hot toast

Praise be to the local English shop :notworthy

I think your dogs liking of Marmite is quite telling, the taste it must remind him of something. something that dogs like to do when bored. or Itchy

MARMITE!!!

No surpise there, eh Ledamni?


I have been having this psuedo battle with Ledamni for a little while now.

I don't think we are ever going to change his mind... and here's why;

Australians make fantastic beer, they also make really awful beer.

Austrailians drink the really good beer, they export the other kind

Britains make really good beer.

Britains export the good stuff, and import Australian to drink


I think he has us under the 'But you have no taste' rule

Still, Marmite is better!

Marmite - spread on crispy toast, some grated cheddar, put under the grill...I'm off to the kitchen for a snack

Greywolf,
Could you please quantify this statement I'm confused.

The best beer in the world by far is brewed in the south of both Britain and Ireland.
The filth that is left after brewing should be thrown away and not be repackaged and put on supermarket shelves.

They do make some great beers, we rarely hear about them because they keep them for themselves. They even make a passable stout apparently.

Would it be black with a white head?

I don't know about that. I've been drinking some really good Scottish stuff recently, though to be honest I think I prefer ale.

Cheers,

Best beer? Now there's a question... The beer that I recall as "best" is probably Sandy Hunter's Traditional Ale, but I haven't seen that for many years and my recollection may be rose-tinted. And then of course there was the special Heavy (80/-) the Diggers in Edinburgh used to have, if it was on a good day...

Still, the beer I've got brewing right here is plenty good enough for me!

As for Aussie beers, the best I've seen in the UK would be Cascade. There was some Queensland brew I tried that was really good, but I'm damned if I can remember the name...

I tried vegemite, I'd heard about it and found some in Wal Mart here in Germany. The Big Yin raves about it and said that Whoopi Goldberg said it was like licking a cats' ar$e!!!! Billys' answer was "Who did your research?!!!"

I have to say I thoughtit was horrible stuff, but I'm not with Whoopi because I'd rather eat the stuff than lick a cats bum!

Marmite rocks.
