first of all thanku 2 "BigSis" i think it was who said that aussies were very friendly ppl!. i like to think that its true!. (just keep away from the drunks, they either get angry or co-dependant lol jk)
ok heres the thing!. Im an Aussie!. Im a very proud aussie, but i guess i just havent attatched myself to the disgusting taste and smell of left over brewers yeast extract, spice and various vegetable additives!. the taste is supposedly described as salty, bitter and slightly malty, but i spat it out before i could put a finger on what it was lol!. so yeah, im not much for one of my own countries national icons *shrugs and laughs* im just strange XD i prefer to eat pizza heheWww@FoodAQ@Com

Vegemite is a vitaman B extract!. Its a thick near black paste, that is very salty and spread on toast or bread very thinly!. There is something called Marmite, its sold in UK!. Marmite and Vegemite are basicly the same thing, but an Aussie and a Brit would argue that!. Its basicly their peanut butter, but they dont use it as heavy as we do with PB!. Its used more like butter on toast, a thin layer, although, I love that black crap!.!.!.I spread it on thick !. I love salty stuff!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegemite/Marmite - yeast extract!. Both very similar, both horrible!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.but that's one of the things about it, you either love it or you hate it!. I hate it, my husband loves it and always comes up and gives me a big kiss after he's been eating it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.aaaaaggghhhhhh

LOL :o)


Don't by shy about asking an Aussie though - they'd be only too glad to tell you about things in their country - very friendly people Aussies are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Um Vegemite is fermented vegetables (contains yeast), but yeah its an acquired taste, not even all Australians like it!. Personally I love it though, If you want to try it you should toast some bread cover it in butter and lightly smear vegemite on, but only the tiniest amount less then a teaspoon full, its also good wih cheese and lettuceWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, vegamite and marmite, definitely an acquired taste, one of the very few things in this world I prefer not to eat!. And I usually don't discriminate when it comes to food!. But you have to try it at least twice, it's an experience!. You'll either love it or hate it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegemite is bloody awesome!.!. Its good on toast!.!. and cheese melted under the griller!.!. with a slice of tomato, or even some pineapple!.!.

Its an Aussie thing i guess!.!. Its good though, Americans eat it wrong!.!. thats why they say its disgusting!.!. But some people really dont like it!.

Its just a scraping on toast with butter!.!. It shouldnt be used like peanut butter!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
