Vegemite (Australian) and Marmite (British) are similar, but not same products. As a young man I had a British girlfriend who ate both. Salty, tangy, really stimulates a thirst. So, good on crackers or bread with beer! Quite healthy, by the way. Very high in B vitamins. Definitely an acquired taste. One of those things that adults may like, but children less so. Personally, I never developed a liking for it; but did I mention it goes with beer?
ReplyDeleteThis shit will make you a god damn sexual tyrannosaurus... like me...
ReplyDeleteI see here are people who appreciate classics.
DeleteI have Vegemite regularly. Butter on toast and apply a healthy layer of Vegemite on top. PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteC'mon folks. Some of you have undergone survival training and none of you can stomach a small amount of Vegemite? :)
Every Vegemite Virgin is the same and treats it like a chocolate sauce by spreading it half an inch thick on toast. Less is more with Vegemite. Spread a thin layer on buttered toast and it makes the best anti-hangover food imaginable.
ReplyDeleteVegemite has B1, B2, B3 Folate. Energy 40KJ Fat<1g Sat Fat>1g Sugars>1g and why its so salty Sodium 173mg. In the video its spread way to thick. I actually grew up first on Marmite which is sweeter and not so salty and then when I was older started having Vegemite. Pretty much all us Aussies love this stuff and it is an acquired taste. I loved it on Vita weat biscuits or with butter just spread a bit on toast.(Butter is the key to making it taste nicer.) It will not kill you it is very good for you. There is even an old jingle for an add for Vegimite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aix0cEp0N_0 . Now I had a friend who went to America and brought back Tabaco that you chew. I spat it out ASAP It tasted crap. Again an acquired taste but not as good for you as Vegimite.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to watch people who haven't tried it before do as Sven says and treat it like chocolate spread. You can almost hear the jar grinning malevolently as the uninitiated slather it on with a trowel. Mentioning after they've taken a bite that it's effectively a yeast infection in a jar just completes a beautiful moment.
ReplyDeleteButter and a thin spread on piping hot toast is the key to being a happy little vegemite.
And this is how the U.S. State Department can finally claim that a YouTube video got a U.S. Embassy burned down...lol.
ReplyDeleteVegemite, food of the gods. :)
