Originally posted by Conrau KBritish Marmite cannot be sold in Australia under its own name because there is a New Zealand version of Marmite, also called Marmite. New Zealand Marmite is very different from British Marmite. Sweeter, runnier. British Marmite can be bought in Australia: it's called Our Mate. Well worth trying for the comparison. Saltier, more intense. Without the slightly sour aftertaste of Vegemite.
I have never had marmite. Vegemite is however an essential staple in my country, Australia.

Is there a continental equivalent?
Is there an American yeast extract spread?
Did anyone get their hands on one of the 300,000 limited edition Guinness Marmite jars, with yeast taken from the Guinness brewing process?
