        I describe the taste to people as solidified soy sauce. Very salty, and has lots of umami (savory meat-tasting).

        If you do end up trying it, the trick is to spread it thinly, rather than like jam.

        I've only met one person in my life who has liked it who didn't grow up eating it.

            Marmite is delicious. I regularly have it on toast for breakfast. Never tried vegemite.

                  It's like Coke vs Pepsi - same kind of food, but slight differences in flavor that can be detected.

                        How do you think Coke and Pepsi taste ANYTHING alike? They are totally different. Pepsi is definitely the sweeter of the two. Coke is a bit more bold, which is why I prefer it, although I'll gladly drink either given the chance. Applebee's has Pepsi but Denny's has Coke. I know these things...don't judge me!

                            They're both colas though - that was the comparison I was trying to make.

                                They both taste very similiar. Sure almost anyone can detect the differences, but most people that like coke dont hate pepsi and vice versa. Yeah they prefer their coke or pepsi, but will drink the other one when there is no alternative

                                    They need to sell this in tiny taster size containers for new people to try it.

                                            I could you post you a little bit wrapped in clingfilm, but I suspect US Customs may not approve. I'd probably be arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay.
