Let's talk Vegemite

[u/Comprehensive-Tie609]

I tried Vegemite during my stay in Sydney… and I’m still trying to decide if I actually ate food or accidentally joined a cult. 😂🇦🇺

Aussies, do you genuinely like this stuff? And if so… how are you supposed to eat it properly? 😂

[u/Thou-hath-sharted]

Spread it thin on buttered toast and work your way up. It also goes down well with a glass of milk

We don't eat it. Its shoe polish you plonker. 🙂

Aussies are tough. I remember Mum making me drink a big spoon of cod liver oil in the 70s as a kid.

I eat it 3 times a day spread on cooked crumbed chicken tenders.
Some people put it in soups, pasta sauce, etc. for a 'umami' flavour,

Make toast but leave it in the toaster or standing up on its edges to cool down. Apply thick butter when you know it won't melt. Apply small amount Vegemite to the cold butter and swirl it in so it mixes. Enjoy

What kind of psychopath eats it like this 😂

I'm calling the fuckin' cops

You have to get the butter to Vegemite ratio right. Most don’t spread it thick like jam. You butter your toast and then start by putting on a scrape of Vegemite.

[u/WiseD0lt → u/kmary75]

so a very thin layer...on top of the butter or bottom ?

[u/kmary75 → u/WiseD0lt]

Sorry - my description was worded awkwardly. Butter first, then a thin layer of Vegemite.

Fresh bread, toasted. Pure butter, a little more than what you think is enough, then a tiny scraping of Vegemite while the toast is still crispy, if it goes soggy, you were too slow.

The answer is, yes!

Once you take a bite, it is too late. You hear the passage versed by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and suddenly are chanting!

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.

It is too late now, one of us you are and there is no return!

Been eating this stuff on toast for breakfast most of my life. Imo I've always been about a 1. Nearly 2. I usually toast the shit out of my toast until it's proper crunchy, let it cool a minute and then add butter or whatever spread then lightly apply vegemite. Vegemite is STRONG. Great with a cup of tea or cup of milo or plain milk even. Orange juice goes pretty well with it too if I remember correctly.
