Sanitarium owns the trademark for Marmite in Australia and NZ. The real deal is marketed down here as "Our Mate" http://imgur.com/n1wFKzn

That's a fairly morbid name, no? Here, have a jar of the remains of Your Mate... In cannibalism common down there?

I thought it was called Vegemite down under?

Different product. Similar reactions to the flavour from the inexperienced though.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Marmite = product made from yeast-extract (bi-product of brewing) Vegemite = Marmite with vegetable and spice additives

No, it shouldn't even be slathered on toast, a light coating is all you need, more than that and I throw it up 10 min later.

Nah its like putting vinegar on your fish and chips- you wouldn't drink vinegar bit fish and chips isn't the same without it.

It isn't about masking it completely, it's about diluting it so it isn't overdone, like vanilla extract
