Marmite is too salty for me on bread. However I love it as an ingredient for sauces, soups etc. great umami flavour.

Yeah, I use it the same way. It's great for taking soups and stews to the next level.
Marmite slander smh
Tried Vegemite recently. It sort of tasted like thick soy sauce on toast. Kinda good!
I love vegimite,
Make sure you spread it thinly! The #1 mistake made by people who didn't grow up with it is to spread it thick like jam.
A thin spread of Vegemite on top of a spread of butter is one of the classic foods of many an Aussie growing up for a reason!
Ive never actually tried Marmite or Vegemite, but I would like to someday. I think Id be ok with it. I like savory stuff.
They taste very different. Imagine like they're both jams/jellies or something of the same family of spreads, but one is apricot and the other strawberry.
Make sure you only use a bit! Both have powerful flavour—like a ramen broth. Also use proper bread for Vegemite, not a sugar bread. The strong saltiness with sugar bread clashes terribly which, combine with putting way too much on, seems to be the two main reasons why Americans regret trying it—just doing it all wrong.
As an American is there a way to get not sugar bread without having to bake it myself? No seriously someone please just sell cheap bread without sweetening it here
I'll have to give marmite a go once more. If you don't have them side by side they mostly taste like a yeasty salt lick (In a good way).
For some reason, Marmite tastes "sweeter" to me with an aftertaste that lingers for ages. It's hard to explain. I've spent a lot of years in Australia, though, so I'm probably just victim to the Vegemite cult. Hell, I probably don't even like it but wouldn't know anymore.
Marmite on warm toast is 🔥🔥🔥
With lots of butter/buttery spread.. 🤤
I'm a Marmite puritan and so forgo the decadence of butter, but to each his own.
I've never met anyone who has it neat, no judgment, I'll occasionally lick the knife of neat marmite, but having it on toast on its own makes my mouth dry just thinking about it.. But hey, to each their own! lol
If you enjoy savory and salty stuff it's pretty good. I personally enjoy it but I absolutely get the hate lol.
You're also not supposed to use too much because it's really strong. A thin layer on already buttered toast is good imo, the butter helps it spread a bit better.
I'm probably the only one who does this, but I really like a small bit of Vegemite on a buttered cinnamon raisin English muffin. The saltiness with the sweet muffin is actually really good.
Marmite featured prominently in Taskmaster, from the last days when the contestants were consistently weird enough for TM to be really good
Somewhere there is an outtakes reel with Sally Phillips and Alex Horne pouring absinthe on toast and eating it and getting drunk
I love Marmite, but it fucks with my blood pressure.
More for me.. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yes. The truth. Marmite is fucking awful.
Vegemite on the other hand elevates a simple slice of bread to a 3 star Michelin masterpiece
