I have never tried Vegemite. It is quite lacking in aesthetic appeal.

I have never tried vegemite, it is quite lacking in availability over here - I'm sure you can get it if you really want. I'd be interested to compare it to marmite, which I neither love nor hate.
I presume pronouncing it like 'yosemite' is a hoary old gag.

They did have a big push on Vegemite in the UK maybe 30 years ago? It never really took because all right thinking Britishes said, no thanks, we'll stick with Marmite, it's much nicer.

yes that would probably be about right - my mum got some and that was our exact reaction to it
+1 for "Worcester sauce", no "shire". label be damned. I worked in the Lea & Perrins factory as a temp in the 90s, the smell put me off the stuff for a couple of years

IIRC from my one trip to the UK in the 90s, Marmite is... sweeter? Like its still savoury but not as briskly savoury as Vegemite is.
