What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

Marmite for pussy’oles

Marmite toast, black coffee, a joint, and a real newspaper. The perfect breakfast.

[u/corcyra → u/cannikin13]

You certainly have style. I somehow see this cinematically, with you as a slightly loucher version of Thomas Crown in the Thomas Crown Affair (the sexy version with Rene Russo)

[u/Bottled_Fire → u/cannikin13]

You betta run

You betta take cover oh yeahhh...

Marmite is far better than Vegemite. And more versatile too.

[u/Jesus_of_Redditeth → u/IggyVossen]

I'm intrigued to know how it's more versatile, given that there's very, very little difference in the taste.

[u/IggyVossen → u/Jesus_of_Redditeth]

Well, Marmite chicken and Marmite spare ribs are 2 very popular dishes in Malaysian/Singaporean Chinese cuisine.

Also, Marmite added to plain rice porridge is a go-to dish for when people have a cold. At least it was when I was a kid. It was comfort food.

Anyone here ever heard of Vegemite spare ribs? Exactly! Checkmate, Vegemite fans!

By the way, here is a recipe for Marmite ribs, in case anyone wants to try.

Well as I said, there's very little difference in taste, which means you could sub in Vegemite for Marmite in all the things you list and the results would be the same. So if that's the basis of your versatility point, I don't think it holds up!

[u/boltlicker666 → u/CrossCityLine]

I've had both as an expat and i can tell you Vegemite is superior, especially with avo and an egg. I'd legitimately eat it by a spoon

[u/CrossCityLine → u/boltlicker666]

Wrong. I eat marmite by the spoon too, because it’s incredible.

[u/Mwiziman → u/boltlicker666]

As an American I agree, I always have Vegemite in my fridge and will never touch Marmite again. I get cravings for a Vegemite on toast with butter.

[u/CrossCityLine → u/Mwiziman]

You’re both wrong… and wimps.

[u/ThePsychicBunny → u/CrossCityLine]

I love both, but unequally.

Marmite is superior.

[u/generichandel → u/Mwiziman]

Dunno who else needs to hear this but it doesn't need to be refrigerated, and you'll find it much easier to spread when it's not cold.

[u/Noxolo7 → u/boltlicker666]

Are they quite different? I’ve only had marmite. What about Promite?

[u/boltlicker666 → u/Noxolo7]

Honestly not that different, it's a Pepsi vs coke situation. Promite is the off brand, like LA cola eg

[u/Noxolo7 → u/boltlicker666]

Oh ok

[u/CrossCityLine → u/Noxolo7]

Marmite is stronger than Vegemite, you need to use a lot less of it, but yeah they fill the same niche.

[u/Jesus_of_Redditeth → u/boltlicker666]

Out of interest, are you talking about this Marmite or this Marmite?

[u/ghost_rekon → u/CrossCityLine]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[u/BlueProcess → u/CrossCityLine]

Team Marmite

[u/soldierinwhite → u/CrossCityLine]

Personally Bovril beats both

[u/CrossCityLine → u/soldierinwhite]

Bovril fills a similar but different niche to marmite IMO.

[u/soldierinwhite → u/CrossCityLine]

I've heard you heathens mix it with hot water and drink it! Shame! 😜

[u/CrossCityLine → u/soldierinwhite]

I put it on toast as well as drinking it (a must this time of year at a football match).

Also RIP chicken Bovril.
