Not only is Vegemite better, so is everything else from God’s own country. Take your pic - rain and wind at Blackpool in summer (!) versus palm trees and crystal blue ocean on thousands of km of coastline. No choice really.

If Chinese athletes can take Caterpillar fungus (Yarshagumba), than what’s wrong with Vegemite for Australian athletes.

That’s the pot calling the kettle black! Mr Major is the one who hasn’t done his homework, ie surprise surprise all white Aussies aren’t British criminals. Dear me what an ignorant statement. And how would Keith know what scrapings from a sewage pipe would taste like anyway? Seems like Keith is quite the adventurer to know the tastes of the scrapings of a sewer pipe, marmite and vegemite. At least vegemite isn’t as poisonous as most of the processed food available. As vegemite is an aquired taste, those that do acquire this taste appreciate the finer things in life…:) Marmite too if that’s your thing. But for those Aussies brought up on the ol’ vegemite, sorry to say but Marmite, bovril and promite are last resort alternatives. Go you ‘happy little vegemites!’

Both products are vile, unhealthy and heart attack poison with enough salt to kill an ox!

They taste like the scapings from a sewage pipe! YUCK!

Ah-ha! I knew one day my non-bias of pleasure eating would come in handy. Having resided for lengthy periods in both nations, I feel as though I’ve become an expert on matters of Marmite v. Vegemite.

Here are the respective standards: Anyone could eat either on toast or a simple ‘Mite sandwich’ of course with lettuce and tomato. Or the lovely smell of hot buttery toast in the morning with a full jar of Blankmite ready for spreading copiously about the warm, fresh bread, anyone (well almost) could do that.

However the true connoisseur knows the immediate difference when one: served with freezing cold beer, or two: when served in whipped ice cream. Having stated the conditions there will be no Ashes here folks, Vegemite wins hands down. Hey! Put down those wickets.

If the Ozzies had any sense they would bring Promite superior to the Pommy paste and the vecon and bovril which was the staple diet of my UK undergraduate toasts.
Of course the best use of yeast is beer invented in Iraq and pizza invented in USA
