Great Photo-shopping guys.


And away we go with the actual tasting!!!










And after this adventure in hell, we partook in Pizza and Beer afterwords.









I have to agree with that. My biggest complaint would be the extreme salt content. As I never use salt, the first taste put me into salt shock! (That's like sugar shock, except I instantly retain water, and blow up like a balloon from the knees down! ) Being a yeast extract, it certainly had the smell of brewers yeast, not something I relish on toast!
I did find that the Marmite was a lot thinner and runny, like the consistency of warm #6 fuel oil, and the Vegemite was much thicker, like cold roofing tar. As for which tasted better, it's hard to say, but both regurgitated at the same rate!

I'm rather happy my mother never introduced me to these substances at a young age, as I probably would still be in therapy.

For me the second picture of the last batch tells it all. The looks on your faces... priceless
To tell you the truth. I had marmite myself a couple of years back in a hotel in England.... Where I opted for English breakfast. With it came a jar of marmite and I thought it was a sort of marmelade. Boy was I wrong there. Nearly everything I drank (which was quite a lot) and ate last evening came out. My face was exactly the same as yours there. I never had the Vegemite but after my little taster of Marmite I'm absolutely not inclined to try it out.

Great test guys and one of the funniest posts here in a while.

Great thread, very amusing and confirmed my suspicions about the Vegimite/Marmite debate

Cheers,

I take it thats two more in the hate marmite camp then!!

Thanks for the very enjoyable post.

I'm still a Marmite lover, but i was introduced prior to age 4. And it's still better than vegemite!!

Oh dear, how pathetic! Couldn't stomach it eh?

no fitting conclusion... Here in Australia, we will always be

Dear God! - luckily for my sanity it froze after a couple of seconds

David

ha thats funny

You two should get your marmite training in.
start with a little then you can progress to eating it unnacompanied
hey it could stand in for a dark brown paint. just as boiling water and airbrush it!

Great thread chaps!

I wonder how it'll taste with Tamiya canned bread...

So did that stuff taste better,or worse than American SOS?

Dave and John

Thanks for one of the funniest posts I have seen here for quite a while.

As a happy (not so) little vegemite I am a bit surprised that you could not reach the obvious conclusion about the superiority of Vegemite.

Although we had a Japanese exchange student here recently who was game enough to try Vegemite and spat it out declaring it to taste worse than low grade Chinese Soy sauce.

Perhaps the reason you couldn't arrive at the correct conclusion was that you had the sample spread too thinly. The size jar you took the sample from would only last me 2 weeks max. So maybe you should have another shot with the Vegemite spread about 2 - 3 mm deep for that fuller taste.

I think it is the fact we were given it as children - I have had salt plums and I can't stand them and -Cranberry-????? but taste is personal - I like it - my wife loves it - yes and I have eaten it straight from the jar- oh well another berson who misses the Aussie Citizen test

So Dave,

Eight months on, have you finished the jar yet?
