Ohh, I found something, seems like it's the slog from local brewers to get the youngsters hooked on complex B vitamins and therefore get them hooked on beer, later in life. Seems like they learned this little trick from the tobacco growers. [/pure huey of course]
Seems it works. [lol]

vegemite is this nasty brown substance that I first heard of in a men at work song called "down under" It's very bland tasting and gross.
I would imagine marmite is the same.
Therefore I voted along with everybody but Anarres and the Australian guy....both are nasty :)
Well I addded a 'Dunno' option...
[sad]
I voted "What is Marmite/Vegemite?"
I feel kinda stuuuupid as I seem one of the few (?) who is clueless atm.... ;)
edit
Even more stupid as my friends the French Saint-from-hell and the
Aztec- anarchist-butcher totally understand what the fuck you are
talking about!! [aargh]
All right, now I feel part of things.
Thanks anarres.
I do like nutella, does that count?
[lol] Everyone likes nutella!!!
Or do they... [hmm]

Heh... Would that be a ladder game? The problem is that there are currently 83 members, and I don't think we can set up a game with that many civilizations (perhaps with conquests[rolleyes] )
I'm fairly sure it'd mean -4100 points for the admin though.

Erik, I can honestly say you're a lucky guy not knowing the taste of vegemite or marmite.
I dont know the ingredients of marmite, but vegemite is made of bewers yeast which result in a black 'stroop' looking substance that's salty and gross tasting. Compare it too Parodontax toothpaste but much worse.
Here's an extract from the vegemite site:
quote:When a young chemist named Dr Cyril P Callister at the Fred Walker Cheese Company developed a remarkable new spread from brewer's yeast, an Aussie icon was born. The result was a nutritious spread with an appealing taste that is also one of the world's richest known sources of Vitamin B.
PLease note the typo on the vegemite site 'appealing taste' should of course be 'appaling taste'.
I recomend this site to get the general idea what eating vegemite is like. www.cockeyed.com/inside/vegemite/vegemite.html
Also I recomend watching this official vegemite commercial which proves without any doubt Vegemite is a danger to your mental well being. www.vegemite.com.au/tv_ads.asp
Now I'm gonna look for some info on Marmite for you!

Hey, we aussies arn't world champions in rugby, cricket and swimming for nothing you know.
Cant really find something really informative on Marmite. Basically it's made from brewers yeast also and the taste is also awfull. On this site www.megee.net/oddities/odd_british_foods/liquid_heifer.htm I learned that that the Bass brewery actually pays the manufacturers of Vegemite and Marmite to relieve them of the leftover brewers yeast that's used as the main ingredient. In other words, these products are made of waste. Gotta love the business model.
PP
Wow, you looked really hard for the Marmite info PP. [rolleyes]
http://www.marmite.com/marmite/about.html
Would the world be a better place if we wasted more then PP? [???]

dead yeast is true, but vegemite is only sold in health food shops in Ireland, so it must be good for ya. (marmite is only sold in super markets so it must be muck)

@anarres, I found that site, but it doesnt really say anything new compared to the vegemite stuff.
Concise version for both products: made of brewers yeast, taste awfull :D
I'm not saying we should waste more, but I think it's generally not a good idea to eat waste. And the vegemite/marmite is no exception to that rule imho.
@digger: That song just proves all over again that this sort of stuff has bad effects on the brain.
PP, if you make Ice Cream from egg yolks, does that mean you should throw away the egg white 'waste', or use it to make meringue?
The term 'waste' is used to denote anything that is left over from a process, it does not denote refuse or piles of steaming shit. ;)

That would have been my choice, but it came too late anyways... the propaganda against that yeasty spread has resulted in major prejudice to get even near a tube of veggie/marmite... [lol]
:D
Instead of whining and adding another option, why don't you "soup up" the poll?
:D
what the hell are you talkign about?

Vegemite now reaches 2 votes and goes flying ahead of marmite. I thought that it was time for us Australians to band together and support our nations icon.
The best way to have vegemite is grilled with cheese. Digger makes a good point about the Australian dominance in sport, not bad for a nation of close to 20 million people, on that logic vegemite has to be the best steroid out there.

Hmm, I remember us Dutchies beating you are were 'as good as' you guys in YOUR national sport: swimming. Also check the results of the last Olympic Games... (Holland has 16 mil people.)

marmite rules. you lot are freaks!
I can just about accept that not everyone likes it though... if everyone liked it there would be no fun in applying a thin veneer of nutella to a super-thick layer of marmite and watching your victims face contort in surprised agony.
fwiw - I like marmite enough to impulse buy the limited edition jars with 'I hate' and 'My mate' labels :D

There is a third option, Promite. Mmmmm yummmy. It has a smoother taste then Vegemite and it lacks the 'scraped this of the bottom of my shoe' taste of marmite ( I think the poms invented that one). I couldn't vote for promite so I voted Vegemite as a close second.
If I voted for marmite I would have to say 5 G'day mates and 4 struths for absolution.
There is a good reason why Australia is so empty. Only the ones who can survive a daily dosis of Marmite/ Vegemite can survive in this country. It would make an easy one for immigration. Just let anyone wanting to move to Ozzieland eat a sandwich Vegemite. If you survive you qualify as an Ozzie.
Question to the Aussies. Where does that POM expression come from. An australian once told me she thought it was an abbreviation for Prisoner Of the Motherland, which I think is quite funny but it didn't really sound believable.
Poor anarres, even after he dragged his brother in this poll forcefully marmite still is behind Vegemite.......

hey! I wasn't dragged, I polled for marmite due to my own insidious eating habits [tongue]
I think vegemite is ok, not as good as marmite but then what do you expect from Oz? (just think about the swill that aussies pass of as beer... and I know the claim that aussies always make that they export all the shit and keep the good stuff for themselves - I just choose to ignore such obvious lies ;))
oh and I just noticed the new poll results. Hmmmm... some phrase about power and corruption springs to mind [fdevil]

I know the stuff, and I have had it quite regularely for a while. It's delicious on bread and usefull for spicing up soups etc.
Still not sure about the difference in taste between Marmite/Veggiemite. From what I have read, I figure there is no difference, except that Veggiemite is produced green/organic.
Didn't vote yet.

23-08-2003, 17:38
they do actually taste different! Even I can tell that, and my palette is fucked from years of abuse.

24-08-2003, 17:24
Somewhat in the blind, I voted vegemite.
Too bad I missed the original poll results. Would've been interesting to see how many people here do actually have good taste.
(Must go now for a grooming date. Someone has to get the mites out of my fur. ;))
Smalltalk, the original poll results are easy to see. anarres didnt mess up the poll count but edited the descriptions. That is 'urght, they're both foul' and 'marmite for me' are switched.
So Marmite loses the vote whereas the vast majority thinks they'e both foul (and rightfully so!)
Yeah, right ProPain! [rolleyes]
This is really personal for you isnt it, anarres?

[bump] I saw this on the active polls so i had to vote on this thread. I am Australian after all. ;) I am one of those marmite haters, because I only every wil have vegemite, Marmite is just a cheap rip-off and it shows. [:p]
Considering anarres blatantly manipulated the results in favor of marmite it's hard to say wether marmite or vegemite got more votes.
Top votes were for 'Urgh, they're both foul!'

Vegemite is foul; but Marmite is foul and weaker in taste. A kind of "foul for sissies" if you like.
TBH: Vegemite does get better if you keep trying it once in a while.
I won't bother to vote as the poll is rigged anyway.

i don't quite agree with that. I think it'd be fun if the "foul taste"-voters manage to beat anarres-marmitelover-pollrigger, despite the fact that the marmite vote count was artificially upped... :)
the count wasnt upped, the questions in front of the outcome were swapped. And that's quite easy to just do another time

Alll you need to do with vegemite is spead a thin layer on your toast. Whenever my Pastor goes back to america, he was born in America, he often give people a tast of vegemite, but rather than doing it the proper way with a thin spread on ytour toast, he grabs a spoon and gets a spoonfull of vegemite. Naturally that would be disgusting because too much of it is not good and is what you say. Just little bit of vegemite is the best way to have it.
