Well, we all know Vegemite is a pale imitation of the real thing - Marmite! 🤣
Actually, I can source both here online. Not cheap though. I usually opt for Marmite out of habit, but when it's out of stock, will happily buy Vegemite.
About a decade their was a really annoying Aussie veggie here for about a year. She complained about not being able to able to find Vegemite in China and I suggested the alternative. She screamed at me that she couldn't eat Marmite because "I'm a vegetarian!", her answer to every question. She point blank refused to accept that both are vegetarian. When, another time, she was going on about her eating disorder yet again, I mentioned that the Dalai Lama isn't vegetarian and she burst into hysterical tears. Even her boyfriend thought she was an idiot.
Another friend, also Australian, a lovely, knowledgable and witty man just looked at her and quietly said "Calm down, mite."
No, I didn't miss-spell 'mate'.
