Just Bought My 1st Jar of Vegemite. Any Recommendations?

Congratulations. You have now reached a state of enlightenment. 🙏

 

1.  Ignore Ken. He had a tough childhood before being adopted. 

2.  Ask Deb to make you some toast. If Deb isn't available, Google "making toast" on You Tube and follow instructions. 

3. Let toast cool. I like it cold, others lukewarm. 

4. Spread a generous amout of salted butter. 

5. spread a smidge of vegemite with a knife. It should look like this: 

 

Enjoy!

Get a strong mature English cheddar. (Not sure if available in the states?) And make a toasted cheese sandwich.   Spreading either Marmite or Vegemite on toast is a dark art. It requires a 'dab and scrape' sort of technique.   

Once you pop, you can't stop!

Enjoy

PS Marmite is better

 

When you graduate to the big leagues, you can move onto the hard stuff. Not just Marmite...but XO Marmite

You can also use it as vandal paint.

If you find yourself on Bovril, you might need to check into a recovery clinic.

It might be added that one of my favorite late-night snacks is a tin of rolled anchovies with capers, paired with a glass of cold milk. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had Vegemite. Once.

Vegemite is just crud removed from Brits teeth, then shipped over for the convicts to enjoy. Yeah baby yeah!!

[cnov]

I'm a big fan of both, but I think Vegemite might be a touch above Marmite!

Yep, what Rob said.

Crucial points: Cold toast. Good butter (not margarine). Lightly spread the Vegemite = The Promised Land. 

If you want to go a step further and get really Aussie/English with it and add a great breakfast drink pairing: brew a good, hot cup of tea, sweetened with milk & real sugar. Boom!

Throw it into the fire pit of Mordor and thank me later.

Yeah. Put plenty in the traps and swish the buggers!

This post is labeled as "HOT" on the Waterhole Topic board. It's the first time I've noticed something being labeled "HOT", and it's about Vegemite. I've never had it, but if it's HOT on FOH I probably better order some Vegemite and sort this out for myself.  It's made from cigar "plume", or what?

If you want to go real classy. You could opt for this. It's basically an intensely concentrated anchovy paste to have on toast

Though be careful with the phrase "Gentleman's Relish" Private school types may think you're asking of them, or offering them something all together different.

Hey, don't talk trash about my School for Privates. 

OMG, for a second I thought that jar said Patum "Perineum".

Cold toast? The hell kind of backwards shenanigans go on in QLD? Also salted butter? 
Fresh hot toast. Slap unsalted butter so it’s basically a pool of liquid on the bread. The smear of Vegemite depicted in El Pres’ post is correct. though if you eat straight anchovies then maybe you have a high tolerance of salt. I would also go with a crumpet instead of bread if they are available where you are and aren’t full of sugar  

The cheese and Vegemite combination is also a banger. Make a cheesie (one piece of bread with cheese of your choice on it and grilled) with Vegemite spread on the toast before application of cheese. You can go heavier on the application of Vegemite in this use case. 

Add Vegemite to food. Goes great to add flavour to soups, pasta sauce etc

i would normally agree with this but i suspect that Mordor will just vomit it straight back out.

sorry to hear you lost a bet. must have been a whopper. do i have to pull out the story of my friend trying to get vegemite through Spanish customs again?

and ignore rob, he has tarmac for tastebuds. 

what a vile, puss-ridden, straight from the most fetid sewer attempt at something edible it is. 

if you have misbehaving children, make them taste it. 

you want a house free of cockroaches, spread it around. 

you want the mother-in-law never to visit again, half a teaspoon should do it. 

let me just say that in the history of all divorces in all the world, no one has ever asked for the vegemite in the split. 

if you absolutely have to eat it, my old man used to put a spoonful in a mug of boiling water and stir to make some sort of broth, when he came in from winter fishing. i always assumed it was his version of self-flagellation for not catching enough fish. 

 

finally, the good people at amazon are today holding a huge party. it is the 'we finally found a sucker to buy that jar of crap that has been sitting on the shelf for years' party.

not fussed on the late night milk but anchovies and capers, every day of the week. although it is a travesty of biblical proportion to mention anchovies and vegemite in the same thread.

Hmmm, cheese. I wonder where I could find some of that? 🤔

Wait until tomorrow night and roll it to the curb with the rest.

Agreed, marmite is so gooey, its better used for adhesive. Get a drop on the counter and you're scrubbing for 5 minutes. I like a slice of tomato on my vegemite toast.

So I used to live in this flat above an Australian woman and her son. He was a bit 'special needs'. We would give him the attention he wanted by flicking pennies at him and chasing him around the building.  

One day the lady and I were talking about Vegemite. My experience was Men at Work and the strange lady who made him "nervouse". This chick made me nervous too. She was full of man hate but she offered to make it sometime " the authentic Aussie way". I was gracious and ate it. 

That shit sucks! She ended up being a psycho.

i mean this with absolutely no disrespect at all but the poor child probably wasn't special needs until she fed him that toxic tripe. and she was probably all sweetness and light until that first taste of it.
