NZ Marmite vs. Vegemite: UPDATE!

NZ Marmite wins, no doubt about it. I remember now why I did not like Vegemite: there is a repugnant metallic aftertaste that lingers on the back of the tongue. Ug. This is somehow totally missing from the NZ Marmite.

It's possible to overdo it with both - too much salt. After the tasting last night (on crumpets - "the dumb man's bagel") my blood pressure must have been sky high. No offense was meant with that crumpet reference. ;)

Anyone want a nearly full bottle of Vegemite?

I have heard of vegamite in a song from years ago. Not sure of the group & all but it had the words about a vegamite sandwich from the land down under... Do they have peanut butter? MOM
