cm-happy Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 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?
Mid Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 where ??? I'll take it ............ Australia's national delicacy , yummmmm

The Dan Sai Kid Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 isn't it some sort of lubricant for homosexuals?
cm-happy Posted May 19, 2007 Author Posted May 19, 2007 where ???I'll take it ............ Australia's national delicacy , yummmmm Saw it while shopping at Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai. PS. was located next to Marmite. Whatever that is.
colino Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 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 ,
endure Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 isn't it some sort of lubricant for homosexuals? It certainly isn't - not for any self-respecting homosexual anyway. You might catch a few Ockas using it
Jingthing Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 An acquired taste you don't want to acquire. Be safe. Eat durian.

How do you use it? dossage etc. Take it straight up, or with milk, water or whatever? It's a breakfast spread, lightly applied to toast. The English make a watered down version called Marmite. Can be an acquired taste.
The Dan Sai Kid Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 vegemite is simply concentrated skidmarks that have been scraped off cruddy undies and reduced down to the consistency that aussies love...
Matthew31140 Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 OP gotta be taking the mick. Any way MARMITE IS MY MATE!!
sbk Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Moved from the Thai Food forum to the Western food forum as no self-respecting Thai person would eat this stuff
Austhaied Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Moved from the Thai Food forum to the Western food forum as no self-respecting Thai person would eat this stuff Is that right.. I know 4 Thais in my household that love the stuff..
eek Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 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!
eek Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 tastes like poop i wouldnt know about that, i have never eaten poop

Austhaied Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 tastes like poop You would know KD.. Here's a bucket of "poop" just for you.. Bon appetit..
kratindaeng Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 tastes like poop You would know KD.. Here's a bucket of "poop" just for you.. Bon appetit.. 555! Cheers Austhaied! I would have to say that bbq snapper with a wee bit O Lemon juice is just the ticket....or Parrot fish, or Baramundi, brings back fond memories of the West coast
chickencurry Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Bovril on toast much nicer than marmite or vegemite
Austhaied Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Bovril on toast much nicer than marmite or vegemite It is if you like beef stock.. Go here for some great Vegemite recipes.. http://www.vegemite.com.au/index.cfm?fusea...recipes.welcome
Pink Mist Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 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 Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 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 Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 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.
Jingthing Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 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 Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 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!
