i mean maybe if you cry directly into your marmite it will taste better, vegemite couldn't taste any better than it does already.

i know!! i found this out when i was trying to explain to jordan what is milo
― Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Also there is Canadian milo it sounds awful tho:
Nestle has now introduced a Canadian version of Milo. It is made in Canada. It dissolves rapidly like Quik, probably due to market expectations, but still retains the Malt flavour. It is also sweeter than other varieties.

quik is for children ffs.

out of loyalty to the board, affection for both the australian and the new zealander members, and because i lack personal experience with both vegemite and marmite, i voted twice, one time for each.

my aunt told a girl at her school that marmite was good for your skin and the next day the girl complained it had got all over her pillowcase. she was an olden days drongo.

vegemite on toast with a fried egg is good hungover food fyi.

i am going to host a "which is better vegemite or marmite" tasting party (provided i can figure out where to buy them) when remy's here. won't that be fun?

to be brutally honest, i think it will be a bad times party.

vegemite is hangover miracle food.
lxy, i will send you some if you want, one of each.

i think we will have enough to drink that it will be a good times party in the end, but thank you for the warning, wilter.
thanks, estela, i'll let you know. first i will look around to see if i can find some here. say, did you ever try the bugles?
― lxy, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:37 (fifteen years ago) link
lol no, when i went to order them they were waiting for a shipment to arrive, then they moved premises and kept sending out funny frazzled email bulletins about how everything would be on track soon so i just left it, but i'll try again.

I got really mad the other day because Anne Reardon did a bit on Vegemite and I usually love her stuff but she hates Vegemite and she ragged on it for a whole episode and said no one likes it unless theyre brought up with it from childhood, then proceeded to show a bunch of foreigners trying it straight from a fucking spoon. NO.

An (American) friend used to insist that vegemite and marmite were both just solid soy sauce, I once made the mistake of trying to argue about this, then swore not to ever engage in any marmite or vegemite discussions ever again.

Reminds me of another argument I had with another American friend when we went to a restaurant and he asked for "Worshestershire" sauce and I did an involuntary laugh. NB: I am from Worcester.

School me, I've grown up saying "wis-ter-sher" sauce with the accent on the "Wis". I think I've got the syllables right? but have a feeling the accent is off
― H.P, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:09 (three weeks ago) link
I know it says "Worcestershire" on the label but I've only heard it called "Worcester sauce" IRL, which is /ˈwʊstər/ "WOOS-ter"
― This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:12 (three weeks ago) link
Anyway no judgement, it is an annoying spelling, but he was annoyed at me for laughing and then told me that I was the one pronouncing it incorrectly.

I have never tried vegemite, it is quite lacking in availability over here - I'm sure you can get it if you really want. I'd be interested to compare it to marmite, which I neither love nor hate.
I presume pronouncing it like 'yosemite' is a hoary old gag.
― gene besserit (ledge), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 09:36 (three weeks ago) link
They did have a big push on Vegemite in the UK maybe 30 years ago? It never really took because all right thinking Britishes said, no thanks, we'll stick with Marmite, it's much nicer.
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 09:52 (three weeks ago) link
yes that would probably be about right - my mum got some and that was our exact reaction to it
+1 for "Worcester sauce", no "shire". label be damned. I worked in the Lea & Perrins factory as a temp in the 90s, the smell put me off the stuff for a couple of years
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 09:57 (three weeks ago) link
IIRC from my one trip to the UK in the 90s, Marmite is... sweeter? Like its still savoury but not as briskly savoury as Vegemite is.
