Marmite v Vegemite

Ask, and ye shall receive. Vegemite wins by a nose, being more overall palatable and with a hint of poultry-esque flavour. It’s also got a nicer, more Nutella-like sheen to it, whereas Marmite has always reminded me of ear wax (sorry).

I can’t say in all honesty that I’m surprised my lunch turned into a blog post - this is me, after all - but I will say this: Fight the power.

    Tsk (shakes head sadly).

    […] I know by name quite a few journalists, editors, politicians, and intellectuals (if I can invoke that word) who read this blog (some of whom also read Samizdata, which attracts quite an enviable readership of actual influencers).
