I’m an Auzzie and Vegemite rocks. Totally kicks arse on peanut butter and jelly. And who calls jam jelly anyway.
Your a Yank so stick to your fatty fast food that your use to.
No wonder you don’t like the taste , it’s a healthy spread. 😛

I’ve recently acquired a friend who is from Australia (oddly, by way of California to Colorado) and upon inquiring about Vegemite he sent me some. So for the first time ever I tried it today on buttered toast, thinly spread as per his recommendation. I found it not only palatable, but a decent spread. The flavor reminded me of the beef boullion cubes I made soup from as a child and I liked sucking on a small piece of the cube before it completely dissolved. Very similar taste. Thanks, Craig. Now, where can I get it in the US? Hmmmmmm…..
Oh, yeah, I grew up with the attitude that I wouldn’t know whether I liked something if I never tried it. To date the only thing I can’t handle is cottage cheese by itself. To me, that’s just nasty and wrong. But maybe with a little Vegemite? 8~D

Yes, I too have grown up with Vegemite, maybe that is why i like it so much. But I will admit, it can taste very salty and sometimes can make you feel sick. I’m Australian and now I know how to use Vegemite properly!
I love it on toast when the toast is hot you put butter on it and wait until it melts, then I add a thin layer of Vegemite and it is perfect! It is an acquired taste you can’t just slap a shitload of it on!
I also like Vegemite soldiers 😀
You cut the Vegemite toast slice into like long sticks then you dunk them in a soft boiled egg! Yum! (even though it probably doesn’t sound good )
By the way., I’m only 12 years old :]

A guy in Harare buys a newspaper every morning from the same kiosk and after crumpling it up he throws into the nearest dustbin. Eventually the seller cant resist asking him why.
I am only only interested in orbituaries….replies the guy.
But they are always in page three…… says the seller.
The one I am interested in will be in page one .

The Zimbabwean government decides to pay a surprise visit to the country to tell people how lucky they are to elect them. On landing, the aeroplane they travel in, misses the runaway and crashes near a farm. Next day the police comes to investigate the crash and question the farmer:
Where are all the bodies? ….asks the commissioner
I paid my last respect and buried them….. replies the farmer.
But surely they were not all dead.
Some said so, but who believes what politiciens say.

Of course, if you eat it by the spoonful, it will not taste good. But if you spread it sparingly, it will, on a fire warmed buttered crumpet, on a frosty afternoon taste DElICIOUS. I think Marmite tastes slightly better than Vegamite, which is less salty. Unfortunately both got very expensive. Consumption will be reduced as dickheads in England banned the stuff from school menues, owing to its high salt content. But if all those obese couchpotatoes, sitting in front of the box worked up a bit of sweat, there would be no problem with eating a bit of salt.

Vegemite has NOT been banned in the US, it’s just an urban legend. We can get Vegemite most places around here, no problem!

Viva La Vegemite indeed, Marmite just isn’t the same. I love it on toast, the thicker the better. Better still nice n thick on a couple of bits of toast top with eggs & bacon then smother with baked beans & a dash of worchestershire sauce. Nothing better. Americans can keep McDonald’s I’ll stick to vegemite 🙂
