bangkoklah Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Where to buy vegemite in Bangkok? Been trying to find it everywhere with no luck. The last jar I have is almost empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSquigle Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I lucky, friend brought over 1kg tub for me, but just ran out. Different friend bringing 2 jars from Darwin next week, you cannot have one. Vila supermarkets did have it, but last 2 times I looked they did not have anymore, may have just ran out, but both visits were several months inbetween. Try vila in Ploenchit centre, near soi 33 and in soi 11. Failing that, a shop in soi 71 up soi 35 I think, on left side going away from Sukhumvit will defo have it. Just cannot remember name right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fennielyn Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I used to get mine from Foodland but if they run out (I know, I'm just as incredulous, used to think that apart from the folks from down under, I was the only fan), you can always try the supermarket at Paragon. They have almost everything, at a premium price of course. Where to buy vegemite in Bangkok? Been trying to find it everywhere with no luck. The last jar I have is almost empty.

elkangorito Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I went off Vegemite ever since Kraft was "sold out" to the yanks. Since then, I have been eating "Mighty Mite", which is very much like the original Vegemite but not the same as the real thing. Now that I'm over my "nationalistic" tendencies, I'd love to have some real Vegemite again. My favourite Vegemite recipes/concoctions; 1] Vegemite on toast with lots of butter. 2] Vegemite with Baked Beans, on toast. 3] Vegemite with canned spaghetti, on toast. 4] Vegemite & lettuce sandwiches. 5] Vegemite & mild/cheddar cheese, toasted/grilled or as sandwiches. 6] Vegemite on SAO's with butter (so you can squeeze the SAO's together & make Vegemite/butter squiggles). 7] Vegemite teaspooned straight from the jar (Yum!!!). 8] Vegemite added to "home made" vegetable soup. 9] Vegemite thickly spread on top of a layer of thick slabs of cold butter, on bread ("real" butter...margarine sucks!). 10] And finally, Vegemite on pizzas (Aussie style, of course). AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Reminiscing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkangorito Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) What the hll is Vegemite? It's either the most vile thing you have tasted or the most wonderful thing in the cosmos . In actual fact, it is a vitamin B extract, the same as Marmite etc. Edited October 12, 2007 by elkangorito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 What the hll is Vegemite? It's the waste product left after making Marmite Actually I can't stand either, both taste like, well, something unmentionable. I was force fed Marmite on toast as a kid, it's supposed to be good for you, ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter991 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 For TV members not familiar with the stuff - here's the Vegemite homepage. Personally, I prefer Promite (like Vegemite, but not as salty). Then, there's always Marmite. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RueFang Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Just the thought of promite and marmite makes me shiver with disgust. There is NO comparison to the mighty vegemite! Obviously not enough aussie blood coursing through your veins if you claim to favour the aforementioned! Love vegemite and tomato sangers, but got to eat them fresh before the bread goes soggy. Good on the wise folk in Thailand who know how to make an easy buck from deprived Aussies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSquigle Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Toasted cheddar cheese and vegemite sangers, awesome. From foodland, go buy the fresh cheese bougettes, rip apart, smother in butter and vegemite...awesome number 2. Best place to buy it is soi 71, it is much cheaper than villa, the price in villa is ridiculous. FGF also has many other ozzie ticket itmes, sao biscuits for example and the lamb is awesome....number 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a good taste to me kind of "chessy." Anyone can get deficient in B vitamins very easily, especially B-12. For myself it's especially important because I've been vegetarian since 1974 and it's easier for a "veggie" to get deficient with possible serious consequences. I'm actually curious to try this product because I like things that alot of others don't. My only concern is it's made by Kraft and most of their products contain stuff I'd never eat. I'll try to find the ingredients on the web... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe' Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Just looked up the ingredients on the official Marmite site (marmite.co.uk) and yes! you too can join the fan club! * Yeast Extract * Salt * Vegetable Extract * Niacin * Thiamin * Spice Extracts * Riboflavin * Folic Acid * Celery Extract * Vitamin B12 Sounds like a good clean product. However I've seen several post that rumor it's banned by the FDA in the US because it contains folate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgs Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) What the hll is Vegemite? As an Aussie that can't stand the crap: It's a vile concoction made from the used brewer's yeast from beer - originally provided by one of the Carlton United Breweries (Fosters / VB / Crown - yes, I do drink beer; just not AU generics). For smell & flavour, it's right up there with Durian. Generally used as a spread, also used as a drink (1 tsp/cup of hot water), a flavour 'enhancer' for soups & gravies. I believe I'll be in BKK on the 26/27 Oct & can bring a few jars for the desperate. I'll need to know b4 Oct 22.

I even buy it fresh, at a premium, here in San Diego. You can get it frozen but it's not as good. Sounds like Vegemite may be for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkangorito Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 While you are researching, can you also see if you can find out what is in an Oz meat pie - there are many of us have been trying to find out for years Factory made meat pies are full of vile crap...basically, they're full of offal with plenty of veins, gristle & other stuff. Bugger all meat though. A "real" meat pie, like my grandmother makes, only has real meat, not much fat, lots of onion & gravy. Tripple YUM!!
