where to buy vegemite?

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?

Try Java Joe's on 8th street at 7th Ave. It's up 8th street a little, not on the avenue. They have a lot of English products. But it's more likely to have Marmite than Vegemite if there's a difference to you. It's all ear wax to me.

I am almost positive that Key Food on 5th Avenue carries it, they have a lot of imported goodies like that.

according to Yelp you can get it in the slope at 370 5th avenue...

google is an amazing thing

marmite and Vegemite are different things from what I remember.

370 5th Avenue? that has got to be either Get Fresh or Park Slope Tea and Coffee because the junior high is 350 5th Avenue.

Or you can buy bread from a man in Brussels who is six foot four and full of muscles. If you ask him if he speaks your language, he’ll just smile and give you a Vegemite sandwich.

But the Key on 5th might be more convenient.

If Jean Claude Van Dam floats your boat then you're in luck - though he's not 6'4".

Is there really a difference between Marmite and Vegemite? I thought that they were both competing brands of an identical product, (a brown, gluey sludge scraped off the bottom of brewery vats).

Marmite (pronounced /ˈmɑ:maɪt/) is the name given to two similar food spreads: a British version produced in the United Kingdom and South Africa, and a version produced in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans[1].

The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty and savoury with umami qualities, somewhat comparable to soy sauce. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." It is similar to the Australian and New Zealand Vegemite and Swiss Cenovis.

The distinctive product was originally British, but a version with a noticeably different taste[citation needed] has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919, and this is the dominant version in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

The image on the front of the British jar shows a "marmite" (French: [maʀmit]), a French term for a large, covered earthenware or metal cooking pot.[2] The British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware pots, but since the 1920s has been sold in glass jars that approximate the shape of such pots.[3] A thinner version in squeezable plastic jars was introduced in March 2006.



Vegemite (pronounced /ˈvɛdʒəˌmaɪt/)[1][2] or /ˈvɛdʒiˌmaɪt/ is a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract. It is a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits, and filling for pastries such as Cheesymite scroll. It is similar to British, New Zealand, and South African Marmite and to Swiss Cenovis.

Vegemite is made from used brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and malty — similar to beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.

Vegemite has not been successfully marketed in other countries, apart from New Zealand and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom, despite being owned by US food company Kraft Foods. When seen in the United States, the Vegemite label often does not contain the Kraft logo.[citation needed]

So, did the OP ever get their vegemite?

if you're willing to venture out of the slope, tuck shop in manhattan DEFINITELY stocks it.
