As for Vegemite, John Nichols suggests your preference for it or Marmite depends on the age you meet it.
I'm sure that has to be right- but also on circumstance. I was a war baby and I was brought up on Bovril and Marmite. I liked Bovril best. But after the war we went to visit the family in Switzerland and at some point connected with Cenovis. Love at first taste- and like all of them it *does* taste slightly different. In this case, I feel it's less salty.
We can get Vegemite in London and I tried it, but never liked it enough to buy a second jar.
