oldwomanc6 38 #2 April 29, 2012 It's like anchovies. A yummy, savory-ness, but unlike anchovies, it keeps the drop-bears at bay lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dpreguy 14 #3 April 29, 2012 This is the second reference I've seen to "marmite." What is it? I gather it is a wierd food product of some sort? From the post a month ago it semed like it was described as some kind of peanut butter stuff. where -what country is it sold? I guess I could google and find out when I leave dz.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhystoo 0 #6 April 29, 2012 There is English Marmite (yuk) and NZ marmite (yum)... The NZ Marmite is made by Sanatarium which is an american company funnily enough. It is an acquired taste but most Kiwis are bought up on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which yeast is used is going to change everything. Anytime you use yeast (bread beer, wine etc... and the fermentation time) will result in a product which is essentially the same, BUT NOT. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abedy 0 #9 April 29, 2012 Your video was blocked, but I suspect it was about the REAL drop bear. Have a look! Never tasted Marmite, but Vegemite. I wouldn't eat it on my breakfast toast as my host did when I was on a course at ECU at Perth, but it's a nice spread for dinner, especially with German bread.The sky is not the limit. The ground is.

A while ago I took a little bottle of the stuff over for popsjumper (couldn't think of any other signature UK product not easily available in the US) he hated it Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

I guess I could google and find out when I leave dz.com It is from the UK. It is black and very thick with consistency of smooth peanut butter. It is very salty and the closest I could descibe the taste is if you've ever tasted very burnt roast vegetablesThe advertising campaign was love it or hate it.

If you know anybody in the military, both of them are staples in most commissaries. mrowc6 is a bagpiper, so we go to too many celtic festivals, and Marmite is always available, but I have never seen Vegemite at those.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #21 April 29, 2012 Don't think I've tried Marmite, but I'm pretty fond of Vegemite, on certain things. Not sure if I'm quite to the point of loving it though. ;) My cats like Vegemite too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
