Marmite Vegemite - Love Triangle ! ! !

MurkyMo · 08/01/2026 06:48

I'm a Marmite addict, I have it every morning. Recently I couldn't get my preferred jar size, the medium one, 250 g. The small ones are useless and the only other one I could find was the squeezy one. Squeezy jars drive me mad as you have to dive in to get the last of whatever is inside which is usually a lot. Also the plastic.

Anyway, I bought Vegemite to try as I hadn't had it in years. I liked it! Then I found my Marmite 250 g and bought that. Now I am eating both separately every morning and agonising over which I prefer. I love both but in different ways!

I'm trying to simplify my life and don't need this conundrum every morning. Also find myself eating twice as much every morning as I am trying to accommodate both and getting fat and it's too much salt.

Help me choose one please!

Oh it gets so convoluted! I already have 1 type of cracker for Vegemite and another for Marmite! This is why I need to just have one.

I’m in Australia so I guess I’m letting the team down lol . I haven’t had marmite for years but if I buy a jar then I’ll be in the same conundrum as you and I don’t want to confuse myself .

This is just my system haha. I don’t have to think about it, it’s just the obvious breakdown for me. I have no idea why. But if I had to choose and only have one it would be marmite I think

Can totally relate to this dilemma and have no
helpful answer.
I like marmite more, but as daughter does too- I eat up the Vegemite. What a martyr!

I know, I kind of do it automatically too but I'm trying to simplify. I'm autistic so systems are my thing but I already had so many!

In your case I think go with marmite. Lower food miles as I presume you are in England or similar, cheaper I would guess as it’s not imported, use less as it needs a thinner spread so lasts longer so again cheaper

I should follow this and stick to Vegemite as I am in Australia, except for the thinner spreading, but still think I’d go with marmite if I had to

but I do like both.
