Vegemite

Recently recieved a tube from my friend down under,,,now I relize it's a "bread spread" , but what kind of bread we talking here,,white,,wheat,,pumpernickle, I also need a history on this stuff,, like who invented it and such,,and I am wondering why it hasn't caught on here in the good ol'e USA,,,and of course there must be recepies out there for a trueley grand sandwich,,just what can I add Is it like the Australian peanut butter can I add some marshmallow fluff jelly or would a couple of slabs of bacon be the way to go and Paul thanks for the Australian flag beach ball,,I have it hung in my living room ,,kinda like a "chandalier",,,,

Try it on white toast

Any bread is fine.. Toast it, nice slathering of butter an a very fine spreading of the vegemite. Don't lay it on like peanut butter (it will have you gagging as it is strong and tastes like it has logs of salt in it)... Do it the way I said before and it will be a nice savoury breakfast. It also goes well with egg on toast.

It goes well in a cheese sandwich well Marmite does (guessing it tastes the same)

add to testicals and call the girlfriend for a great time

I immediately thought of this.



Looks like rye or pumpernickel.

Question for all you plundering Aussies. Do the women really blow? If so, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Couldn't get past the....hhhhmmm....aroma personally.

of vegemite or the wemen

I can't get enough of the stuff!
It's tar roads for me if you're spreading.
On toast under bacon and eggs is the perfect hangover food

Tried both Marmite v Vegimite, Marmite alot stronger flavour...I do like both though

Brits say 'its like Marmite' (Meaning you either LOVE IT or hate it)

Mmmmmmm Vegimite on fresh bread or toast.
The stuff has got to be good as it is a buy product from brewing beer ,mmmmmm beeeeeeerrrrrrr

Aussie woman do blow but I think the lyrics in the song are "woman glow"

Marmite for me. Vegemite is OK if you can't get Marmite but Marmite is the real thing.
Did you know Marmite is illegal in Denmark?
Best thing ever on toast for cheese on toast or in ham and cheese toasties.

I can take marmite but in very small doses. Very thin layer with something like cheese works well.

I'm with you Linga, spread it on thick

I tried marmite as a kid, didn't like it. I don't think it's a big seller here.

Peanut butter

Love Marmite! Far better on KTM toast though!

Anyone tried the Guinness Marmite that they do every now and then?

Nope, wasn't even aware they made it. I may have to track some down now you've mentioned it.

on toast, with a fried egg, TASTY!

OF COURSE, THE TESTICLES AND WOMAN RECIPE IS A MUST TRY!

australia day was looming so sandi made mike a little care parcel, our staffy is epileptic and we feed him his drugs with cheesy bite on brown bread, he loves it, vegemite was a bit strong for him.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I've just seen this in the local supermarket:-



Oh yes, blended with gold coloured flecks!!!!

This is an aspect of English life I'll never understand.

Theres also a vintage Marmite for sale in the shops at the moment.

Sure is.....'Marmite X-O Extra old' 'matured for a stronger taste'

I will be honest, you either like this thread or you don't.

The wife loves Marmite. We bring back plenty when we go to the States. She is South African and has a substantially different pallet than mine.
That shit (Vegemite too) is horrible to me. Clearly an acquired taste.
Then again, my Aussie mates think spicy cinnamon candies (a la Hot Tamales) are disgusting.

marmite is the best . end of .

spread it thick though boys and girls

I've tried Guinness and champagne , both disappointing
Vintage doesn't fast much different either

Both are good for faking a Dirty Sanchez though.

Don't ask.

Marmite on crumpets under grilled cheese=heaven.

Is anyone else like me in being a bit of a Marmite control freak? If somebody else makes it, there is ALWAYS too much or not enough Marmite!

My Mrs hates it so can't guage how much I suppose...

Us Aussies love this stuff, for me mainly on toast with butter. Some like to have it with sliced cheese. I personally do not like Marmite or Promite at all and they dont compare to Vegemite.

This is what it is (from wiki) "Vegemite is made from used brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, various vegetables, wheat and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter and umami or malty – similar to beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and the product is a paste. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite. "
