Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi, Vegemite is a very salty tasting spread and not sweet (it is a savoury spread). Marmite and Promite are similar but different tastes. I swapped over to Promite because it is a bit less salty but I will still eat Vegemite on occassions. If you add Promite (a level teaspoon) to a cup of hot (near boiling water) you get a sort of vegetarian beef tea (or stock). You can also add a teaspoon to soups you are making. I tried doing the same with Marmite once but that tasted horrible. When my Grandmother was alive I lived with her for a while and she had a British spread that a lot of people there had as a staple like we had vegemite. I cant remember the name but it had a strong flavour. May have had anchovies or something in it. Kind regards, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British equivalent to vegemite is marmite - we spread it on toast - it is definitely stronger - I prefer it over vegemite, but guess it's cuz I'm British. And yes - it is an acquired taste as I've been repeatedly told!! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
