cm-happy Posted May 19, 2007 Share 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?

endure Posted May 19, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted May 20, 2007 Share 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!

Jingthing Posted May 20, 2007 Share 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo8 Posted May 20, 2007 Share 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!
