Potioncat:
Is marmite anything like vegemite? 

I was once a part of an international community at school in California. The Australian couple served vegemite at one of our international food tasting events. I think I was the only American who actually liked it. I was able to buy it in our supermarket--but I've never seen it anywhere else.

I don't know how I would describe the taste, but certainly, it was not a sweet spread.
