On a recent visit to Australia, there were what I thought were cinnamon
buns offered for breakfast. As I don't particularly like the large quantities of cinnamon in those buns, I avoided them only to find out later that the dark stuff in the spirals was Vegemite!!!!!! |

I don't think I know the difference between vegemite, marmite and promite. And I've never tried cheesymite. |

I have unopened jars of both, just because. They're both three or four years old now. Nobody seems to mention them in the States, but if they do, I'll be ready. Of course, the aged stuff might kill them now, but I have it! I've never tasted either. leo |

It looks like a lubricant that you'd expect to be used for the wheels of Amish carts. It tastes salty, savoury and strong. I don't mind a thin layer of it, but not too much. |

Best to be over sparing and add a little more if you would like it stronger. |

I think so too, but if you're from good convict stock, you might be able to handle more. |
