[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 539210, member: 1991"] We used to get Marmite in Australia when I was a kid. You can still find it in some shops, but most Aussies prefer Vegemite. The difference, as far as I can recall, is that Marmite tastes sweeter (which, for a salty spread, I find disconcerting). Marmite can substitute if you are desperate, although I don't think Marmite works nearly as well on celery sticks. The important thing to remember - and all you yanks take note, someone somewhere will try to give you Vegemite or Marmite, you need to protect yourself - it MUST be spread thin! You do not spread it like jam. A really stingy scraping. I learned to really love Vegemite when I was given it as convalescence food as a kid. You know how you get flat lemonade until the sweetness just becomes too much? A thin wafer biscuit with an atom thick layer of Vegemite cured the overdose of sweetness and my keeping it down told my mother I was on the mend. I am so not into sports. I'll watch car racing if husband is watching it, but I'm more likely to have it on in the background on special events such as the Bathurst 1000 (August). We have our local heroes as well as our international ones. One of my favourite Aussie rally drivers is a Canadian expat. Allan Moffatt. Previous generation, though. Sun is shining this morning. Still flippin' cold, though. Marg [/QUOTE]
