There’s absolutely no competition, Vegemite wins hands down. I’ve always associated marmite with a friend of mine whose mum wouldnt let him salt so she thought marmite was a suitable replacement. dont ask me how that works but she saw the logic somewhere.

As for QadGop, who was saying that he went through a 1kg tub in a year. i go through one every 6 months. As for my fav way to eat it…  
thick white bread, toasted, a little butter, lots and lots of vegemite, peanut butter, a slice of cheese and to top it all off a banana mashed on top.

Maybe its something in the water in sydney, but i know a few ppl who like the same thing.
