WTF is vegemite made from or of?
 :confused:

Found it. It's made from the yeast waste from the beer brewing process. Sounds interesting in that there are at least 3 varieties. It's amusing that the vegemite sold in the US has the Kraft name removed from the bottle unlike in Australia.

Actually it's not too odd that there are at least 3 varieties.  As a homebrewer, I can go to the local homebrew supply store and pick from at least 50 different varieties of yeast (that they have on hand).  I can also order many different others.

I once had vegemite, she swore she was clean, I should have known better.  Nothing like a penicillin to clear things up.

Ooooops! SD I replied to quick in the other post.
We don`t get our mail here until 3:00 P.M. or after.
Went to check the mail after posting and there it was. :)
Immediately came home and put some whole wheat bread in the toaster and broke out the butter.
I got one thing to say. WOW!  :lol
This stuck R O C K S!!!!!!!!!!!
About the only way I can explain it is it turns ordinary toast into something with the taste resembling
a really good home baked bread..........with a kick.
Thanks again.

No worries jackal.
I'm glad you like it :D
It's awesome stuff! :rock

I'm going to have to do the same, Jackal.  I don't even know if they sell it around here, but I guess the grocer will know.  I'm a toast nut.  I'd die if I were ever forced to go on a no-carb (or any other) diet... I can't imagine life without bread.

SheeesH!!! Now that I am hooked I did some searches and get a load of stories concerning the ban of vegemite importation into the U.S. due to added folate.
But.evidently, like most things, there are ways...........http://www.marmitepantry.com/Vegemite.html
SD is right on target concerning the proper way to start out. Light is the key word on buttered toast.
Man Oh man Oh man!
A taste explosion.
Just got through with a couple of slices. :)

I bet our commissary has it ~ they've got stuff from absolutely everywhere. I'm checking next time I go. :) I'm actually looking a little bit forward to it!
