Vegemite is cope-marmite that Aussies came up with during WW2 when they could get supplies of real Marmite. It tastes saltier and thinner, and you might as well suck on a salt shaker. Marmite has a beefier, more rounded taste and is the superior spread. No-one eats Promite.

>> No.19379574

>>19379564
I actually prefer Promite to Vegemite

>> No.19379600

I like the low sodium vegemite because I can use more of it and it has B12. Marmite is shit because it gets fucking EVERYWHERE, there's no fucking way to utilize marmite without it getting all over the jar, the counter, the plate, and the rest of your kitchen.

Nobody fucking eats promite.

Wrong, Vegemite was originally an entirely different product. It was (surprise, surprise) originally made from vegetable extract, but material shortages during the second brother war meant that they had to change the recipe to use yeast extract.

That only works with Vegemite. You try that shit with Marmite, and you'd better have a reservation on Noah's ark. My brother knew a guy who tried to put some on his morning toast, and they literally never found his body in all the mess.

Marmite tastes like Vegemite but with added sugar
Promite and Bovril taste like "I can't believe it's not vegemite!"

marmite is weird brit shit, tastes like ass
vegemite is a stronger taste, a little bitter & salty but goes perfectly with anything buttery or cheesy. its the superior of the three.
promite has a weaker taste but is meatier and easier to spread.

all 3 go pretty alright in stews
