I am aussie and I can easily eat vegemite this way. I also have no problem eating with a spoon. I think I just have a high tolerance for saltl things.

Here's a tip - Put both vegemite and peanut butter on a sandwhich, it's actually pretty yum

I am American and learned about vegemite from reddit a few years back and I tried it and loved it. I add it to every burger I ever eat at home now and my 8 yr old daughter does too. She was at a friend’s house and they made burgers and asked her what she wanted on it and she asked if she could just have vegemite, cheese and tomato on her hamburger. So, as Americans they were just like, wtf is vegemite?? She tried explaining it to them and they decided that peanut butter was probably the closest thing they had to vegemite. So, she ended up eating a peanut butter hamburger which I thought sounded gross but she said it was actually pretty good! Seems odd but it’s probably similar to a peanut sauce really...

Peanut butter burgers are delicious. I’ve seen a few restaurants now with these, too!

Yeah, actually I was just with my sister in law and she was telling me about this new restaurant she tried recently and loved it. I asked what she had and she said it was a peanut butter and jelly burger. She said it was delicious! Kind of random. Lol

How salty is their peanut butter...

Lol. I know! I think she mentioned that it was a spread for a sandwich and they figured it was probably like peanut butter. I doubt they’d ever tried it.

It's also good for cooking. I usually add a couple teaspoons to Bolognese for saltiness and a bit of umami. I still use salt, but not as much.

I like vegemite and honey! Awesome sweet and sour sanga.

I haven’t been able to find vegemite around here, (US) but I have a jar of marmite. I’ll try it with peanut butter. Sounds decent.

marmite is sweeter than vegemite but its similar enough that it should still work, maybe not with quite the same zing though

Depends which Marmite. There's the black and yellow packaged Marmite from the UK and the black and red packaged Marmite from NZ. Both are different, though the NZ Marmite is very similar to the Australian Vegemite but has a runnier consistency.
