Marmite & Vegemite. Marmite is a savoury yeast extract with a strong vinegar flavour mixed with vegetable extracts to create a popular spread for sandwiches that has a distinct, bitter taste. Marmite is available in a jar, a tub or a squeezy plastic bottle. Vegemite, on the other hand, is the Australian equivalent of Marmite with a far less intense taste, giving it a more varied flavour that is, like Marmite, commonly used to flavour sandwiches. Marmite and Vegemite both come as a smooth paste that is easy to spread. |
