They are similar but they do have a slightly different taste. Vegemite tastes saltier and FWIW is more popular in AU. > As we are so way off topic here, it's only fitting to point to the Marmite > FAQ at http://www.gty.org/~phil/marmite.htm > > Regards > > Mike -- Wesley Moore - KILLspamwmooreKILLspamfreeshell.org - http://wmoore.no-ip.info/ Free Email provided by: SDF Public Access UNIX System http://sdf.lonestar.org/ -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

Now, I know many people love and swear by Vegemite, Marmite, etc... but they also seem to be able to handle a bit of good natured ribbing about it.... so.... I saw this on the net today while I was looking for a safe way to trap flies so my birds could eat them. The last line was so funny, I had to add snide remarks to the entire thing... Quoting from www.abc.net.au/cgi-bin/common/printfriendly.pl?/gardening/stories/s73 026.htm With my comments below. > To make your own fruit fly traps you will need a clear soft drink bottle. Clear and soft? > Drill holes just below the neck of a clear soft drink bottle. Did we mention that it needs to be a clear soft drink bottle? > Stick yellow electrical tape below the holes. Inside or outside? > The yellow will attract the fruit fly. Notice that the color, NOT what we are about to put IN the bottle, will attract the flies... > Pour in a mixture of vegemite, water and the insecticide malathion. Wow. Vegemite is not attractive to flies? > Urine can be used instead of vegemite. Oh Boy! Pay dirt! Ok, lets see... For which of the following is Urine an effective replacement? A) the insecticide malathion, B) water, no, it's C) Vegemite! --- James Newton: PICList.com webmaster, former Admin #3 TakeThisOuTjamesnewtonEraseMEspam_OUTpiclist.com 1-619-652-0593 phone http://www.piclist.com/member/JMN-EFP-786 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList RemoveMEpiclist-unsubscribe-requestTakeThisOuTmitvma.mit.edu
