I’m an Australian, and I only know about five other people who actually like vegemite… It’s horrible… really… Australians and Vegemite is a horrible stereotype.

Aunty Holly – I was weaned on peanut butter and guava jelly.

One more vote for Vegemite. If you weren’t weaned on the stuff, you’re missing out!

AY – It’s hard to spread anything thinly on bread. Whenever I have a peanut butter sandwich, people ask me if I would like any bread with it.

Pinky – If I had an arm that could stretch thousands of miles, I would totally take you up on your offer. :-)

I’m an Aussie girl and I live in Brisbane. I hed Vegemite on me toast THIS VERY MORNING for breakfast, and hot damn, it was GOOD!!
Oh blessed Vegemite!! Your salty tasty wonderfulness!!

In a way, one is glad that so many Yanks and so on dislike our fabulous Vege-spread, as it means more of it for more of us.

Oh yeah, and Marvo? Did you manage to achieve your other goals yet, like touching a woman’s boob? You can come over and touch mine anytime.

Are you kidding me? Vegemite is delicious and it doesn’t put any hairs on chests (not mine at least!).

The best way to have it is to thinly spread it on rye bread and grill it with some good quality cheese.

YUM!

I already didn’t want to try it. Now I REALLY don’t want to try it. Thanks for saving me from the nasty that is Vegemite.

Toni – Maybe he left, wanting you to dry. Nay, daring you to try it.

Sylko – Never had straight up yeast. I have had fake chocolate chip cookie dough.

Clive – Note to self: Do not try Marmite.

I’m still sad about the untimely and unfair passing of Steve Irwin, but i have to tell you that your post made me smile, Marvo. And i thank you for that!

Growing up in the UK I was raised on Marmite. Vegemite is weaker and a poor substitute. Both (I believe) originated as waste products from the beer brewing process. Anyway, Marmite is fabulous, if an acquired taste. You have to work at these things folks. Who likes single malt scotch the first time they try it? C’mon… give Vegemite a chance people.

I was in Jr. High when Men At Work’s first album came out, so my friends and I pitched in our pennies to buy some vegemite. Nasty. Like eating, well, straight up yeast. did not enjoy.

Oh, and it really sucks that Steve Irwin died. What a way to go though, eh? I guess it’s an appropriate death for an adventurer nature guy like him- kinda like that guy who tried to befriend bears and made a documentary out of it, but didn’t even live to see it since he and his girlfriend were killed by a bear.

When I worked in Japan as an English teacher, I had an Australian co-worker. One day I saw the yellow jar of Vegemite sitting on the table in the teacher’s lounge since he was fixing himself a snack (he had stepped out of the room for a minute). I looked at the jar curiously when my other co-workers started warning me not to try it. I picked up the jar, opened it, and sniffed the contents. I suppressed my gag reflex as best as I could, then put the jar down immediately.
