I don't think I have ever tried Vegemite but if it tastes anything like Marmite I'd love it.

Both vegemite and marmite are lovely - and yep, much better on toast.

I think vegemite is an Australian conspiracy to haze Americans when they visit. Their revenge for America exporting Taco Bell but not any of the correct ingredients? Hmm. Could be. Thank God/Allah/Buddha/whoever for Lebanon and kebabs, huh? :)

I've had vegemite a few times and this is the Seppo's review. It's OK in small quantities, a little salty, probably wouldn't put it on pastrami, am sure it's pretty healthy but it really does have an odd odor and looks like axle grease.

Vegemite. Origin: Found clinging (sometimes crawling) to the walls of ancient Indus Valley sewer systems and originally used to poisons rats and cockroachs. Later used to smear on the backs of flogged service personel to induce scabby putrescence.
Current use. Eaten by Australians who export lot's of it to the US.

When i was at school we used to buy two vegemite bun halves and place a sausage roll with tomato sauce in between them. I still do that occasionally, Yum. But i think it tasted better when i was younger.

We don't have access to Vegemite here, but I'm very fond of Marmite and the Australians who have settled in the Great White North seem to agree that Marmite is a decent substitute for Vegemite.

I use Marmite in cooking - stews, soups, etc., as well as on sandwiches.

I MUST have vegemite on my toast.

I don't really like plain sandwhiches, they have to be toasted or something like that.

Lettuce (must be iceberg) and vegemite sandwiches (must be white bread) - yum yum.

It's best with butter, real cow's milk butter, on fresh, unsliced, white bread. Margarine is okay, but butter is Homer Simpson "mmmm' territory.

Marmite, so presumably Vegemite, makes a plain cheese sandwich taste really good.

I have never tried it but it doesn't sound like my thing.

Love vegemite. When I was at high school, whenever we had exchange students it would always be a game to offer them a slice of toast with vegemite spread on it. Some of them didn't mind the taste too much. (Lol).

Hint to anyone who hasn't had it: ***don't*** spread vegemite on thickly. Thin and even is best.

A lovely way to have it in winter is on an open bread roll, with sliced tomato and grated cheese on top then cook in the oven until the cheese is melted. Yummy!

There are a few variations but I'll take vegemite over any of the others.

vegemite and lettuce sammies or vegemite and cheese sammies are yum; i like marmite also but find it kinda sweet, i love hot vogel bread toasted and spread with melted butter and vegemite (not something you should do everyday :) ).

and i agree with spambo5, if you do lettuce, must be iceberg and if you do sammies must be white bread :)

My youngest son, now 32, used to make a sandwich thus:
a slice of thickly buttered bread
vegemite
a slice of cheese
another slice of buttered bread
more vegemite
more cheese
more bread
a gingernut biscuit...

it used to be about 2" thick, and he'd eat them two or three at a time.

I think I'll stick to a peanut-butter-banana-honey sandwich when I want something to spread on bread.

What does vegemite contain? And why do people eat it if it's not all that tasty?

I meant "peanut butter" and not "peanut and butter," of course.
