Marmite yuk although vegemite is OK.
Jaffa cakes are wonderful.
Is there a difference between Vegemite and Marmite? I always thought it was basically the same stuff... Ear wax mixed with axle grease?
Jaffa cakes are Ambrosia from on high. Or is that Rice Pudding?
Resonance, vegemite is abhorrent to true marmite enthusiasts, and probably is closer to the flavour combination you describe. The aussie's might claim it's a superior product, but what would they know? confused It's insipid in flavour, and the texture is cloying and velvety. Nothing like the same, as I found to my cost when our local supermarket had it on offer at half the price of marmite. It remains uneaten in my cupboard to this day. evil

Fabio, vegemite is just somehow wrong. It's not runny for a start. It's more like a paste, and it's got a waxy, furry texture to it that coats the roof of your mouth, whereas marmite slips and slides it's way lovingly round yer tastebuds. :lickface: Apparently the difference in taste at least is probably to do with the different style of beers brewed in The UK and Aus, cos remember kids, marmite / vegemite is the reprocessed scum left at the bottom of a brewing tank after they've syphoned off all the beer. What's not to like? lol

OK so cakes are LESS luxurious than biscuits? dunno

That would be why Marie Antoinette said let them eat cake then would it? She wanted to keep all the biscuits for herself.
As for Marmite, OMG you just gotta love the stuff, especially with cheese and pickled whole garlic.
Wasn't it Elizabeth I who said that before they set off from Tilbury?
Has anyone tried this new 'squeezable' Marmite yet?? Just seen an advert for it "makes any sandwich exciting!" yummuy yum yum..... :happy:
Marmite... Britains Best....!!
last time we were back in Blighty, we got some of those small individual packets, so now when I have to work away I dont suffer!! (Some parts of Europe are a complete Marmite desolation....)
