Hello All!

Once in a while I read notes on Marmite and Vegemite. I've even seen
Marmite in the supermarket here but DC is a cosmopolitan area. The
Washington Post has a not very serious article
http://tinyurl.com/y9bgdaw
on a book by an enthusiast for Marmite where it is said that it and
Vegemite are the same. Perhaps, British and Australian readers would
comment? I did once try Marmite but I see no reason to try again.

Marmite and Vegimite are made from the excretions of dung eating
Periplaneta Americana.


If you need to try something that tastes of heaven, whilst giving you that
much needed Vitamim B kick after a hard night out....... seek out PROMITE.


If you don't believe me, just ask "cshenk"........ not that she needs it
after a hard night out...... she just likes the taste!!

I swear, AUSians must rub that crap on the gums of their teething
infants! That's the only way I can figure AUSians could develop a
liking for that nasty flavor! Ick!! :-(

Read the ingredients (please) and you will realize they are not the
same.

Quite possibly, but I've never seen both concoctions on sale at the same
time :-)

Want I should take a picture of the supermarket shelf where they're both
clearly visible, next time I'm in?

I thought my question was quite valid and should merit a brief answer.
It is quite an event if any at all of those peculiar pastes appear in a
US supermarket.

It is indeed valid, and interesting in that most US food operations seem
to think that buying one of the three and shelving it fulfills their duty
to these delicious yeast blends. I have seen Marmite and Vegemite together
in a Publix, of all things, and in a few World Markets. I have never seen
Promite, no loss there. Many websites of course have all three for sale,
particularly the Australian supplies sites, and some of these allow the
enlargement of the labels. To make it even more interesting Marmite,
originally a British blend, is made in Australia also and doubtless tastes
different from the original.

They are similar but not identical.

As do I. At one time I had all three (Promite, Vegemite & Marmite) and
tasted them against each other quite a few times. Vegemite nearly always
won, with Marmite a poor second and Promite consistently losing. YMMV.
