Now that's gross! Hahah

Vegemite rules. The key is to spread it the correct amount, it's not like jam or peanut butter, it requires a thin covering over a thick layer of melted butter.

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.

It aint to bad with an egg (poached) thrown on top of the vegemited and buttered toast, MMMMM.

I,m in the Irish Republic at the moment and I gotta cross the border to the North to get hold of my fix...

Still a hard 1 to sell unless you been raised on it though...

Vegemite can even be used in general cooking, it adds an extra bite to gravies :)
It is a bit strong for newcomers but once you've become used to it, you will be like me, sneaking spoonfuls (well really dipping a finger in it while the Mrs isn't looking) every time you walk past the pantry :p

I once got some vegemite from an Australian girl in a secret santa type thing.  As we got more and more drunk, Vegemite served as punishment for party fouls. 

I've seen less pain in a 4 year old's eyes as he realizes that he must eat the broccoli.

I've heard the stuff is very yucky! Is that correct or incorrect?
Title: Re: VEGEMITE!
Post by: Joker on June 16, 2008, 12:49:48 PM

that depends on your definition of "yucky"

I think it's an acquired taste  :D

Mom. Vegemite, it awesome stuff...
The best known cure for a hangover is a thick Vegemite sandwich (You'll never find a better source of B-vites!) and a large glass of juice.
A Vegemite sandwich actually has more Vitamin B than a any of the Vitamin B complexes you can buy.
It's a great morning starter on toast, it goes well with cheese (It's an average kids favourite lunchtime food).
I use it in cooking sauces and gravies.
Most don't like it as thick as I do, but it's something you'll not be able to get enough of once you get the taste for!
Remember, usually all you need is a thing even coating, not enough to cover up the bread and butter completely, you want to be able to see it underneath. :aok

Post by: Xasthur on June 21, 2008, 01:46:13 PM
Sd67 has the correct vegemite application amount right there.

Even but thin, it's not peanut butter or jam, it's potent stuff that only requires a small amount for the best taste.

My mom loves the stuff. I bout puke all over the place. I'd say its a very very aquired taste.

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.

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'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 (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. :)
