*grins* and my kids thought it looked like a chocolate spread the first time I bought some, sure gave them a shock when they tasted it...and they have refused to touch it ever since...LOL! | |

My faves...
- hot buttered toast and marmite
- cheddar cheese and marmite sarnies
- boiled egg and marmite soldiers | |

You guys go ahead, but I'll sit that one out. Certain things like that I can't imagine. I never knew what vegemite was, I thought it was part of the song, "He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich, and he said, 'I come from the land down under'".
Anyway, there are some pretty nasty spreads here, too. Potted meat I can think of off the top of my head. | |

Posted: 8/24/2007 6:28:31 AM | | No we get vegimite here across the Tasman too. Can't say I enjoy it as much as marmite but I'll spread it on my toast if there's no marmite on offer, speaking of which has anyone else noticed the difference between Aussie/Kiwi marmite and English marmite? to my taste buds at least the English stuff is way stronger! | |

Posted: 8/24/2007 6:37:10 AM | We're happy little vegimites
as bright as bright can be
we all enjoy our vegimite
for breakfast lunch and tea
It puts a rose in every cheek.....
It's a yeast extract and most people I have met that don't live in Australia think is is worse than eating worms....
It tastes nothing like marmite.....
But Tim Tams on the other hand..... | |

Posted: 8/24/2007 4:22:17 PM | My daughter brought back a coffee cup, a T-shirt, and some vegimite for me. I still drink from the cup, still wear the shirt. As for the vegimite, I threw it out one day, and the next day there were three dead buzzards next to it.  | |

I don't think I'd like Vegemite, just from what it's made of, kind of turns my stomach to even think about it. Like my daddy used to say "to each his own". | |
