beano2274 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I bought some Vegamite at Villa, had some on toast and threw it away, it was crap. Went back to the UK, bought some Marmite back with me, had Marmite sandwiches everyday, absolutely delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It certainly is an 'acquired taste'. When brought up on it you don't really think of it as tasting like shit. We have it on toast or just plain bread, with heaps of butter. Some have it on their cornflakes after a night out. Personally I prefer Promite, but I have no problem with the taste of Vegemite. I'm yet to meet anyone who wasn't brought up on it actually like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dag Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I had vegemite on toast this morning....my 6yo girl also......bought 3 bottles in Bkk the other week after about 2 months without. Outstanding stuff....try a toasted cheddar cheese and vegemite sanger...... Vegemite on fresh crusty bread....mmmmm Marmite is ok for pensioners and those that cannot handle anything with a bit of ooomph. There is a way of spreading the veg also that makes a big difference, too thick and its too salty....just right and its perfection. also you have to get the little yellow butter stains in the jar just right.....and melt the butter into hot toast first....then warm up the veg in the jar by working your knife back and forth 4 or 5 times, this avoids it lumping on the toast......spread it even and thin.

bdenner Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 There is a yarn on this site I told a few years ago in a similar thread which I’ll repeat. My no good, freeloading, Thai, brother-in-law turned up here potless one day and even though the family dislike him with a vengeance they had to give him a bed in the small bungalow out the back. They refused to feed him. Well, a few days later I’m coming down the stairs and spot him in our home and at our fridge, he had my jar of Vegemite in his hands with the lid off so I silently stayed where I was and watched. Sure enough he took a sniff then threw his finger into it dragging out a large dollop which went straight into his mouth. His reaction was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in Thailand, raced out of the house running around the back yard screaming like a banshee and finally threw up!

There is nothing wrong with either I'm a Brit so prefer Marmite had to live on vegemite for over 6 month's once as ran out of Marmite the stuff they sold here reporting to be Marmite, is Crap. Agree with the Chedder bit. But one thing I will take issue with you over is your so called ooomph vegemite's got ooomph. Might have it if you put it on about 4" thick then it would be inedible. As stated lived on it for 6 month's but sorry to say it's doesn't have the Zing of Marmite. It might be a salt thing. Dont know about Vege but Marmite after yeast extract the bigest ingredient is SALT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredob43 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 For those of you that wish to reminisce about our national food. Just watched the clip. Oh dear, But did you see how much they had to put on the bread Just to taste it + add salt and pepper. Now that say's it all really. If you put that much Marmite on it would be mile's to strong.

afarang Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I am a happy little Vegemite. Love it .But it does have an even better slang name- Vaginamite, Which, obviously makes it much more fun to eat .So, i eat it often . Marmite?. terrible tack. A pommy mate gave me 2 jars - cannot come at it. Awful. Need some? , I have 2 jars to give away. With pleasure. I do agree Bovril is a superb product. Always had Bovril in my house ,when I lived in Oz..I also like Peanut butter ,and here in Thailand I make my own .Slang name? Penis butter .,Tomato sauce ,also has slang names.

ravip Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I guess Vegimite & Marmite are 'either you love it or hate it' foods.
