Vegemite

[cm-happy]

Shopping today and came upon a bottle of Vegemite. Recall seeing it referenced a few times on TV. The label says its is Yeast concentrate.

What is it used for? A health food product or an additive of some sort? Is it supposed to be healthy and why?

How do you use it? dossage etc. Take it straight up, or with milk, water or whatever?

A very poor copy of the real McCoy - Marmite

Saw it while shopping at Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai.

PS. was located next to Marmite. Whatever that is.

marmite is a spread to put on toast or in a sandwich back in the uk ,, you either love the taste or hate it ,,, i hate it ,

It certainly isn't - not for any self-respecting homosexual anyway. You might catch a few Ockas using it

An acquired taste you don't want to acquire. Be safe. Eat durian.

It's a breakfast spread, lightly applied to toast. The English make a watered down version called Marmite.

Can be an acquired taste.

vegemite is simply concentrated skidmarks that have been scraped off cruddy undies and reduced down to the consistency that aussies love...

Moved from the Thai Food forum to the Western food forum as no self-respecting Thai person would eat this stuff

tastes like poop

[eek]

nooo! Marmite is yummy! (dunno about vegimite). You have to be a fan of salt though as has a very salty taste. Sometimes i get a mad craving for the stuff.

Great on toast (but spread thinly) or others things like bagels etc. Great for adding to a salad sandwich. I also used to make a kind of soup drink out of it. Tablespoon marmite dissolved in a cup of boiled water. (would dunk bread in it too ^^)

Love it!

vegemite, cheese and baked beans jaffle is to die for, poms your taste is not in your taste buds, demonstrated by your love of hot beer

[Momo8]

A delicacy for the discerning gastronome.Spread thinly on toast with cheese and grilled. High in Vitamin B group no need for a Berrocca after tha big night out.Come on they eat weirder things than this in Thailand.Fish sauce shakes?

[Momo8]

G'Day mate!Makes a good sunblock too....apply to face and body avoid the genital area! Guaranteed to ward off chicks,mozzies,dogs and rays.Useful if you want to rob a bank not if you want to pick up chicks.

Just curious, what percentage of native Aussies actually like the stuff? Is it considered unpatriotic to not like it? Do immigrants have to prove they can stomach it?

(Us septics do like statistics.)

[Momo8]

Yep they need to prove they can differentiate between Vegemite,Promite,Marmite and crap....and you need to know other uses besides eating the stuff.It's on the Australian Citizenship Test.If you fail well go to New Zealand or stay where you are!
