They taste very different. Imagine like they’re both jams/jellies or something of the same family of spreads, but one is apricot and the other strawberry.
Make sure you only use a bit! Both have powerful flavour—like a ramen broth. Also use proper bread for Vegemite, not a sugar bread. The strong saltiness with sugar bread clashes terribly which, combine with putting way too much on, seems to be the two main reasons why Americans regret trying it—just doing it all wrong.
As an American is there a way to get not sugar bread without having to bake it myself? No seriously someone please just sell cheap bread without sweetening it here
For some reason, Marmite tastes “sweeter” to me with an aftertaste that lingers for ages. It’s hard to explain. I’ve spent a lot of years in Australia, though, so I’m probably just victim to the Vegemite cult. Hell, I probably don’t even like it but wouldn’t know anymore.
I’ve never met anyone who has it neat, no judgment, I’ll occasionally lick the knife of neat marmite, but having it on toast on its own makes my mouth dry just thinking about it… But hey, to each their own! lol
If you enjoy savory and salty stuff it’s pretty good. I personally enjoy it but I absolutely get the hate lol.
You’re also not supposed to use too much because it’s really strong. A thin layer on already buttered toast is good imo, the butter helps it spread a bit better.
I’m probably the only one who does this, but I really like a small bit of Vegemite on a buttered cinnamon raisin English muffin. The saltiness with the sweet muffin is actually really good.
Ive never actually tried Marmite or Vegemite, but I would like to someday. I think Id be ok with it. I like savory stuff.

I’ll have to give marmite a go once more. If you don’t have them side by side they mostly taste like a yeasty salt lick (In a good way).

Marmite on warm toast is 🔥🔥🔥
With lots of butter/buttery spread… 🤤
I’m a Marmite puritan and so forgo the decadence of butter, but to each his own.
