Excellent write up. I find Vegemite to be a bit more mellow if anything. Wife is the opposite and annoyingly buys Marmite when we run out of the good stuff..

The thing that I read (on a Marmite site) said the same thing, that Vegemite is not a strong as Marmite.

Vegemite is an Australian product, manufactured by Kraft Foods Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is generally described by Marmite fans as a weaker version spread than British-produced Marmite—I can personally back this statement up. Vegemite fans have claimed that it is stronger than some non British-produced Marmite, but that doesn't say much for that "Marmite".
For years, Bovril was originally cow extract, but it was re-formulated in 2004 to allay fears of mad cow disease. This also had the advantage of making the product more politically-correct as a fully vegetarian product. Apparently, user satisfaction fell accordingly, so beef stock is once again the main ingredient. Like Marmite, Bovril is produced by Unilever Bestfoods UK. Its main use is as a flavoring for soups, and as a drink when you put a teaspoon of the stuff in a mug of boiling water. "Very warming on a cold winter night," according to the Unilever Bestfoods spokespeople.
