marmite is awesome!

you should all try it, if you haven't already. it doesn't really taste like anything else. i've been told that you have to grow up on it to like it (which i did), but i think that it could be liked anyway. try it on a bagel with some butter.

but don't use too much; it is strong :-)

my family has to import it from europe, but i'm sure they sell it other places

I have a friend who is too much of a pacifist to hit his kids. Instead, when they are bad, he punishes them by making them eat marmite. This should tell you everything you need to know about marmite.

I've tried Marmite, and it just doesn't have that THING that Vegemite does. Vegemite is only nice on thick toasted bread with piles of marg.

It amuses me that they warn you on the label to "spread thinly"....I've never tried it, the concept of yeast spread weirds me out a bit.

vegemite works spread very thin on toasted fresh, white, thickly-sliced bread. with butter. then, and only then.

marmite, promite, and all the others are pretty weeeeeird though.

in fact, they're all weird. think about it. VEGEMITE IS CONCENTRATED YEAST EXTRACT. and i think one of the other *mite's is meat based.


but still, my first point stands. toasted fresh white bread.

Vegemite isn't bad, you have to get the right application method otherwise it's not going to taste too good. Lots of margarine, thin spread of vegemite on toasted bread, great in the morning, knock the sleep right out of ya.

that slogan is a good slogan. so good, in fact, I think it should be applied to other things. like, "there's no wrong way to hit your spouse." or "there's no wrong way to commit nonconsentual sodomy."

Bah, butter and honey is what you have on crumpets.  And then you've got to cram it all in your mouth before the honey seeps through the crumpet, which is next to impossible so you end up with a glorious mess.  Mmm, breakfast!

No, http://imaginatorium.org/pics/b02406muff.jpg">this is an english muffin, and http://www.gordonanderson.ca/Calendar/2005/March/Images/P3207075%20%20Crumpet%20&%20knife%20.jpg">this is a crumpet. The English muffin is more "bready", while the crumpet is chewier. They look similar but they ain't the same. You can see the difference in the texture…

I can't believe I'm arguing about baked goods…

se7en - you're being quite the fool, I know for certain that you can get English Muffins in england, they are probably called english muffins because they originated in england (read = DUH ), Crumpets are very different. for starters you don't have to cut them in half.

stuff about English muffins and crumpets


I think se7en got the whole point of this right:

MUFFIN


ENGLISH MUFFIN


CRUMPET



The "muffins" look different. English muffins and crumpets would visually appear to be different only with what you eat them. Personally, I don't find them that much different when they're plain. They have them in my cafeteria, with vats of stuff next to them like fruits and butter and stuff with which to adorn them, and when I first saw "English Muffins" I was like, "Mislabeled crumpets? Silly Americans..."

we are talking about Marmite, and specifically how Vegemite is in all ways superior to it.

I havn't been in a mcdonalds for a decade, how should i know what they sell? I'm not sure where the hell these muffin things come from, but it just seems to be yanks that refer to them. I obviously dont know anyone that eats them, or i would know what they were. The crumpet is the british breakfast food.

Edit: What is with austalians and vegemite? it seems to be a minor national stereotype.

Apart from the small matter of your BEING WRONG.

I think the difference is that, in the States, it's an English Muffin, round here, it's just a muffin.

I like that word. 'tis a fun word. Muffin.

Never tried them with marmite, though. I toasted muffin with irish butter is just too good on its own, even though Marmite usually makes stuff awesome.

I'm super curious about vegemite.  Dolemite and marmite as well.

Also all this argument over different names cultures have for different baked goods is silly.  It's fucking food for Elvis' sake.  You put it in your mouth and some amount of time later it comes out your butt (you know, if everything is in working condition.)
