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.

I had to jump in and respond here!

Yes, Marmite is similar to Vegemite.  Being an Australian, and having eaten Vegemite all of my life, I have to say I prefer our local version.  The secret of eating this spread for those unfamiliar with it is to spread it very, very thinly.  It has a very "sharp" flavour - and it's rather salty.

I was a very fussy eater as a child, and I've had relatives remind me of the occasion that I ate a Vegemite sandwich in preference to all the goodies on the table on Christmas Day!  It seems that I'll never live that one down!

I love it on toast - and not as thinly spread as suggested for newcomers. :)
