Vegemite is far superior to Marmite. Marmite is just a poor derivative. Bit like Coke and Pepsi. These things just have to be used in moderation. If you are going to make a Vegemite sandwich it can be nice with good quality bread, nice butter and just the correct amount of Vegemite spread the correct way.

Marmite is a substance only found in asteroids, ya?

It's similar. Although I think Marmite is stronger? They're both the whiskey equivalent of a spread. An acquired taste

LOL, you've definitely been in the US too long mate.
 
That's bloody sacrilege putting an 'e' in 'whisky'

Wow I didn't even know I'd picked up that spelling. Strange how these things seep into your brain.

Marmite, Vegemite, all that stuff...
 
I'm Norwegian - I'll never be able to eat any of it!
 
I'll have some brunost (brown cheese) in stead!
 

 
But I'll pass on the Smalahove

I like gjetost!  (that's just a different--older?--name for brunost).  I'm in complete agreement on the Smalahove, too.

Your Norwegian knowledge continues to impress me! It's actually "geitost", pronounced "gjetost" many places, and means goat cheese. When I talked about goat cheese in Australia they gave me feta cheese;) but geitost is still commonly used around the country except here in the east where we call it Brunost. I suppose brunost a more modern name for it, but I think it was a new name for it a couple of hundred years ago;)

Foreigners seem to like it a lot though;)
