Depends on what you were brought up on.
In the UK It was Marmite from birth, so that's what we are used to, even though it is still an acquired taste.
Over here it is Vegemite for the same reasons.
If I have one slice of toast with Marmite on everyday then mosquitoes tend to avoid me, could be something to do with the yeast component build up.

Marmite is far superior to Vegemite but I will eat Vege if I can't get Marm.

(Beggars can't be choosers when you live in a completely non-yeast extract spread country).

I was told similar here in Turkey,Marmite on toast in morning and mosquitoes will leave you alone.

There wasn't an option for me which is "I like Marmite when pregnant, but never tried Vegemite!":lolol:

Love Marmite

Don't like Vegemite

What concerns me more is I cant get on with Bovril....

Love the smell but not the taste...

Weird I know.

Similarly, I hate the taste of marmite but love the smell. Been 25 years since I tried Vegimite in Oz so it would be unfair to judge it.

I also hate the taste of gin but love the smell. As a barman I used to smell the empty gin bottles .... yes, yes, I know !

Why does Bovril keep getting mentioned ? Is it because they are sold in similar shaped jars ?

Totally different product to Marmite and Vegemite, might as well say you prefer chocolate.

I thought it was only kids who didn't like Marmite as it's quite a strong taste. Just like most of them don't like really spicy food until they get older and develope a taste for it.

Yeah, I'm saying that if you don't like Marmite then you're like a small child with no appreciation of real food. You probably have your steak well done and demand ketchup with it. Like Donald Trump.

I bet Trump HATES Marmite. But he'd cope with Vegemite as it's a bit more child friendly, being the kiddy version of the proper product.....

I'm a big Marmite fan. Love the stuff.

A jar of Vegemite appeared in the house last week. I recall not liking it, but the last time I tried it was years ago, so I thought I'd give it a go. "How dissimilar could it be?" I thought to myself.

Very is the answer. It's vile.

Where do you stand on this one?
Exactly.

I eat marmite most mornings.

I tried Marmite and definitely hated it. No interest in trying Vegemite after that.

Strangely though I do love Twiglets.

Marmite is Satans spunk, vegemite is his muesli eating, sandal wearing, community service rather than eternal damnation nephew demons phlegm. (apologies if your eating while reading this)

Strangely like [MENTION=35479]btnbelle[/MENTION] I also like twiglets. :shrug:
