The vegemite thread

Only in Australia can an extract from Brewer's yeast be thought of as breakfast. Wonderful stuff on toast with cheese and sometimes devon. For morning tea you could have it on a scrambled egg croissant, with or without cheese. For lunch you could make a broth, a stew or make a nice soup. Afternoon tea could be a wonderful pie, with of course, vegemite! As for dinner, why not try vegemite beef and vegtables, lamb kebabs or Indian style chicken wings. For a late night snack you could even make a vegemite and cheese quiche or a frijole dip with minicurried pastries. Hurray for Vegemite!:D (http://www.vegemite.com.au) Vegemite is the greatest spread in the world, and if you don't agree you're an uncultured barbarian!:D:p

Marmite, tomato and cheese sandwiches. Nothing else comes close. Except mousetraps. They rock.

It is yeasty, proteiny and salty. The only thing remotely like vegemite is marmite and vice versa. Even then the similarity is limited. (I've eaten both, I prefer marmite since I grew up eating it, but vegemite is OK) Try gentleman's relish as probably the only thing in the same ballpark in the USA, but the taste is about as close as smoked salmon is to a sirloin steak.

Vegemite has a very strong taste. I find most people who say "I tried it once, disgusting! I'm never eating that again" tried to eat vegemite unsupervised.
They usually end up spreading it very thickly which is a big mistake. Personally, I like my vegemite spread thinly on a thick(ish) layer of butter/margarine with a slice of cheese, preferably on toast but a single slice of bread will do nicely.

Never heard of ethier, but both names r crap. Vegemite sounds like vegitables gone stone age and marmite sounds like a marsoupial. *<-----pun warning*. Y dont you just get salt roll in in baking soda. Mix that into ranch dressing, insert relish, whip it with egg white and spread that on a shoe?

Marmite all the way. I'm a no holds barred kinda gal when it comes to marmite, whether it's on toast, on cruskits with cheese, or in a sandwich with chips, it has to be thickly slathered on. This disturbs some viewers who cannot handle the jandal and consequently deal in only thin scrapings.

There's also promite.
And do you know, that marmite was invented before vegemite? Although I think that vegemite is an improvement on marmite, we really do have to thank sanitarium for the original invention.
Edit: I tell a lie, Sanitarium only invented the New Zealand Marmite version...

Seriously though... that combination would appear to be thoroughly disgusting. I suppose I should give you some points for actually eating Vegemite though.

An exchange student in high school brought some into class. I have to say, the memories of tasting it are not fond, to say the least. Of course, he simply held the jar out and let us dip in a finger, so maybe it might taste better with something else.

I've tried Vegemite, it was ok but not a patch on Marmite.
Marmite is a lot stronger flavoured, saltier too (not sweet at all).
Besides spreading thinly on buttered toast, it's great for making gravy. A small dollop in with liver and onions - yum.
Oh, and a jar lasts forever...

Hey I've worn a full-body, bright green, furry character costume during a summer day as a job and there was definitely no free food. As I recall I earned the princely sum of $20 so it worked out that I think I got $1 for every litre of sweat that poured off my body.
Wearing maroon seems positively desirable by comparison.
