Which are you? What is your DH? and in what "faith" have you then raised your kids?
THankfully both DH and I are practicing vegemiters so marmite doesnt get a look in here but I was just wondering what everyone else is

| DH is a vegemite kid,but will eat marmite. I am a very strong marmite fan, and there is no way I will eat vegemite! We alternate what we give Isla,...will be funny which one she decides she likes best in the future. She has no preferance at the mo! |

Me and DH both can't stand vegemite or marmite. In the Uk they run adds about either loving or hating marmite and we are definitely haters. Funnily enough I love the smell though -------------

| DH is a definate BOVRIL fan! The old version was made from beef but because of mad cow disease, it's now a yeast extract. I must admit its nicer than vegemite or marmite. They do a chicken version in the UK too! |

Well I was brought up in Oz so i'm a vegemite kid through and through, I even had a t shirt that said I'm a vegemite kid, and I can't stand the smell of marmite. DH was brought up with Marmite so we do have both in our house but the boys do prefer vegemite - might have something to do with I make their breakfast so they get vegemite from me. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I've never tried Vegemite  but judging from all the comments above it seems to be the favourite ...maybe I shall invest in a jar when I'm next at the supermarket!

I find vegemite too strong - I'll occasionally have marmite, but never alot of it. Seb usually eats a fair bit of it though, I don't think Mike cares either way. -------------

I have eaten both. Pretty much lived on vegemite and cheese sandwiches when pregnant as DH only eats vege mite and can't be bothered buying more than one.
Is it marmite that is iron richer than vege? Will get which ever is the most iron enriched for Lily. -------------

Vegemite all the way.
Natasha even eats it off a spoon .
You haven't lived until you've had a vegemite and chip sandwich. When I was at primary school you used to be able to order a Vegemite roll with chips....those were the days ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007

I'm a vegemite girl and my husband is a marmite boy so we have both in the house.(Years ago we had a flatmate who only ate pro-mite so we had three varieties).
I'm pregnant with our first child and seem to be craving vegemite on toast so hopefully bubs will take after me |
