There's also promite, which I'm not sure is worldwide or an Aussie thing.  I 
prefer it over vegemite.  I think it's a yeast/vege boiled down spread with the 
same axel-grease colour/consistency that marmite and vegemite have...  We also 
have Australian made versions of vegemite too as it's owned by a yank company 
and we feel uncomfortable have an Aussie icon in foreign hands...

Perhaps we need an indepth discussion on the merits/differences between them.

Drakey.

ps.  Australians are also not happy at an American company who trademarked 'Ugg 
Boots' even though Aussies have been calling them that since the 70's...

=========================================

Alas, I won't be able to compare Marmite with Vegemite, as the few stores I've seen Marmite in over here in the states don't carry Vegemite.
