They are both smelly and black, but the taste is quite different. As Martin Levy noted, Marmite contains vegetable extract as well as yeast extract. Moreover, it is my recollection that it also contains beef extract (or used to?). Graeme Hirst, Brown CS Vegemite expert (green belt) PS: Get the spelling right: VegEmite.
