Tried it when I was backpacking in Australia and found it to be the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. Vegemite to them is what peanut butter is to Canadians and Americans. You pretty much have to be raised on it from infancy to aquire the taste. Can't hurt to try... never know you might actually like it. Let us know.
You north americans are soooooo soft!!
(I'm only joking).
I do feel greatly for anyone who hasn't grown up with vegemite and has a rude awakening as introduction to the product. Its a little like wasabe in the sense that a little goes a long loooooooooooooong way.
kind regards,

I love it, but I agree with the above posters that most people who like it were raised enjoying it as children. Still, maybe you'll like it even as an adult.0

I just had Vegemite on an english muffin for lunch. I absolutely love it! Don't put much on though, otherwise it's too strong0
-
You little ripper! Love the stuff.
I'm a born and bred aussie....but yes... spread it thinly - there is nothing better for breakie than vegemite on toast with a cuppa!!
:laugh:0 -
I have it every day! It think it's down to the quantity that you have - anyone who eats it from a spoon is crazy!!! And even among Aussie's that love it (like me) there is a fine balance of what people like, a bare scraping on toast, a more liberal smear, or lathered on.
I am in between and would use about a teaspoon on one piece of toast... with a fried egg on the top for good measure!
Love the salt flavour0 -
It's got that special 'umami' taste, love it. Toast with butter and vegemite is especially good when you're sick/hungover.
I also have it on toast with cottage cheese - kinda weird but good.0 -
I love it! But yes, use SPARINGLY! Either do it on toast with a fair bit of margarine or have it with some cheese to tone it down (mmm...toasted cheese and vegemite sandwich!)0

We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea.
Our Mummies say we're growing stronger every single week
Because we love our Vegemite.
We all adore our Vegemite.
IT PUTS A ROSE IN EVERY CHEEK!
We're growing stronger every week.
That is why I have rosy cheeks :laugh:
Definitely an acquired taste. My Dad is American, he still does not know how to put it on a sandwich or toast. As kids we hated him making us vegemite sandwiches or toast because he would SLATHER it on - that's no how you do it! It's awesome on toast, crumpets, saladas or fresh bread. YUM0 -
In my humble Aussie opinion, vegemite is one of the greatest things to be invented. Totally awesome. Just seeing this thread made me want to get some Vita Weets, spread some butter and vegemite on them, squeeze them together and make worms. A true Aussie tradition. Takes me right back to childhood. And possibly when I did it last week.
Yes, also with cheese, awesome.0 -
I LOVE Vegemite! I have it almost everyday! Vegemite on crackers, in a sandwich, on rice cakes but the best ever is Vegemite and Cheese on toast! So yummmmmmm!0

Don't make the mistake I did the first time I had it. Despite knowing it was savoury, I looked at it and my taste buds were expecting a rich chocolately taste that would put Nutella to shame. This is not what it tastes like. :sick:
Despite this terrible introduction, I have learnt to like it. It's an acquired taste, but if you like savoury things on your toast, you might enjoy it. Don't spread it anywhere as thick as peanut butter! The toast should be visible throughout.0 -
I have two massive pots of marmite in my kitchen drawer, one "aged" and one "gold" (literally speckled with gold, for the olympics. That is what happens when you send your bf out with a shopping list). I love the stuff, but straight from the jar I only eat it on toast, and I am trying to keep that out of my diet. How do I ever get through these jars?
Anyone got ideas for eating marmite that don't involve bread?0 -
I love it lightly smeared on rice cakes nom nom "0
-
Hopefully your friend will bring Vegemite not Marmite - Marmite is from UK, not from Aus.
Vegemite is great on buttered toast or muffins (and when we say spread it thinly, we mean REALLY thinly), also yummy on fresh white bread with butter or in a cheese and vegemite sandwich. Think of it as something like super-hot chilli sauce - you don't eat it by the spoonful, you just add a little for flavour.0 -
Vegemite is the weak version of Marmite! Eat Marmite if you really want to grow thick underarm hair!0
-
Totally having Vegemite with some pro active spread on a hot cross bun for morning tea tomorrow. So good. I like my food salty :P0
-
Mmmm a staple in our house. I love it! I actually like it quite thick (not lathered though). Hubbu hates it and prefers promite but that stuff stinks and tastes gross. Vegemite on fresh bread or toast is the best0

Vegemite on toast with a cup of tea is what I crave when I feel ill. Real comfort food. My husband eats Marmite because he's English but I find it too sweet and sticky. Unfortunately I can't eat Vegemite any more as it's not gluten free but I have discovered Aussiemite which is gluten free and a good alternative.
I loved reading some of the comments on this post - esp references to Vegemite with cottage cheese (this on Vogel bread was my staple diet as a student), Vegemite worms which are part of an Aussie childhood, and the risk of confusing it with chocolate spread. This brought back a terrible memory of the poor unsuspecting Japanese exchange students who stayed at our school and we all told them that the big jars on the breakfast table were full of chocolate spread. They enthusiastically piled it on their toast and then smiled politely as they ate it, no doubt thinking that Australians must be totally mad. The poor girls must have felt sick all day! :sick: They stuck to marmalade after that.0 -
It's good!
I love it. Prefer it to Marmite as the taste is a little stronger and more earthy, somehow.
I love it on toast, covered in sliced/mashed avocado.0 -
Love vegemite - but since it now belongs to a US company, I have moved on to Mighty Mite - made by a good old local Aussie company (Three 3's).. Its definitely not the same in taste and texture, but I am going to stick it out and try to give the little guys a chance..
As for toast/ sandwiches/ rice cakes ideas-
* vegemite & cheese (maybe added shredded iceberg lettuce)
* vegemite & sliced tomato (who needs salt???)
anywhere you need a salty/ savoury flavour added to a dish...
* soups,
* casseroles.0
