Vegemite sandwich, and his wife pleading with him to get the hell off the internet for a little while.

Yup.  An 'acquired taste.'  Britain has a version of it also called Marmite.



I have never seen anyone eat that here in North America, but I'm sure one could buy Vegemite or Marmite at some specialty foods importer...

We have a specialty importer store here in town called "Black Pudding."  Just the name makes me cringe...  They'd probably sell yeast spreads.

Vegemite on toast really blows my hair back.

Why can't you put normal shit on your toast, like peanut butter or strawberry jam?
Title: Re: Today is....
Post by: Bricktop on January 26, 2018, 01:10:25 AM
Vegemite and toast are like man and woman. America and guns. Muslims and goats.



Made for each other.
Title: Re: Today is....
Post by: Angry White Male on January 26, 2018, 01:11:44 AM
Does the typical Australian household even stock peanut butter and jam?  Or would a guest from North America have to bring their own peanut butter or jam with them...
Title: Re: Today is....

Made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. 



Vegemite is salty, slightly bitter, malty, and rich in umami – a glutamate similar in flavour to beef bouillon.

Yuck...that doesn't sound appealing.  It's like beef toast with tea...bleh

Only people that grew up with it (Brits, Auzzies, etc) will eat it.  Nobody else will...

I see it says Australia, British and South Africa.  Some different foods seem weird to me but I've tried a few and they are good...but this sounds like the poor man's topping.  Sorry bro.

I think it's more of a 'tradition' than anything else...  Same with Scots eating Haggis.



SICK!  This crap was nothing more than left-over slop that the poor ate, but sometimes 'tradition' is a strange thing...

It's really nice actually but only if introduced to a newb in the right ways.

You can add it to boiling water for a Bovril type drink.



You probably shouldn't add milk and sugar.

TWO fucking Auzzies never answered my question:  Do you also keep regular spreads, like peanut butter and jams, in the cupboard, or are North American guests expected to bring their own?
Title: Re: Today is....

It's illegal to import into Australia so most Aussies have a peanut butter bush and preserves tree growing near the olive and lemon trees out back.

It's very salty and heat treated. That's an urban myth that some stupid politician tried to use.

ASTRONAUTS on missions to Mars and beyond could soon survive off a "Vegemite-like" substance made from human waste.



Scientists have just developed the method which uses microbes to break down solid and liquid waste.



What's left behind is a "microbial goo" that's high in protein and fat — essential qualities for food sources needed for long space voyages.[/quote]
Okay, now we know what vegemite is made of, and why it tastes so bad. :laugh:
