@monkeyshaver , Words escape me.
What do you do with Marmite? (asked the non-traveled US guy)
Or a different questionā¦ what is it ālikeā? Ketchup? Soy Sauce?
It looks like something Iād likeā¦ I think.

You spread it on toast! Or on a crumpet. You can also mix it with peanut butter.
I canāt describe the taste. It has to be experienced.
In the UK we have a saying where you call something āmarmiteā and it means you either love it or hate it, no-one is in-between.

Oh okay, similar to Vegamite Iād bet!
Thanks for explaining!
A similar thing in the US that immediately popped into my head was black licorice.
Most people either love it or hate it. I adore the stuff!

They are similar but apparently not the same (Iāve never tried Vegemite). I found this:
Despite the similarities in the two spreads, Marmite and Vegemite actually taste very different from each other. Whether you like one more than the other is a matter of personal taste. From an objective standpoint, each yeast spread has its own characteristics.
Marmite has a saltiness to it, which balances with a slight sweetness, and has a smooth and silky texture. (Marmite XO has a denser, richer flavor and is darker than the original. Its texture is thicker and stickier.)
Vegemite is salty as well, but also has a bitterness to it. The yeasty flavor comes through, as well as umami (one of the five basic tastes that bring a bit of a meaty flavor to food). Because of its strong flavor, only a small amount is needed. Some might say that Vegemiteās smell is slightly off-putting and the aftertaste is unappealing, but this is not a universal opinion.

As @shauny said, its great on toast & crumpets. Or a very quick sandwich. It goes well with cheese. When I have beans on toast I like to put marmite on the toast.
Itās salty, savoury in a similar area to Soy Sauce I guess but its 100% its own unique thing. I also use it as a cooking ingredient, when Iām making chilli or stews. I think it can add a depth of flavour.
Iāve also tried spaghetti with marmite. Sounds odd but a great quick snack, just melt butter & marmite in a pan then stir through cooked spaghetti.

Iāve tried Vegemite. From memory I think it was just not as strong a flavour as Marmite.

Wow it sounds like something Iād love!
Thanks for the excellent descriptions, Iāve had Vegamite once, and liked it, but Marmite honestly sounds a bit better due to the slight sweetness.
Iāll be on the lookout for some!
