Questions about Vegemite

This would make an absolutely marvelous sig line for someone.

What, pray tell, is egg and soldiers?

I had no interest whatsoever in vegemite until I read this line. Few things in life smell better than a brewery. I’m closing up the bookstore in a few minutes. I’ll have to head over to the brewpub so I’ll be surrounded by that aroma!

Your wish is Google’s command. Cut a slice of toast into 3 or 4 thin strips, dip one into a freshly-opened soft-boiled egg, eat.

You know someone that knows what roofing tar tastes like?

Sure there are.

In searching for the above I’m shocked to find there’s a demand for the reverse. Why, for the universe’s sake, why?

Wot, no tortillas? Can’t be an American food shop unless you can buy the makin’s for breakfast burritos!

(Which, by the way, are excellent with Vegemite! :slight_smile: )

Marmite (which is pretty similar) tastes more or less like a blend of thickened soy sauce, licked car windows, old rust and yeast.

It’s awesome. :slight_smile:

One 250g jar of New Zealand Marmite can be sent to your home for $18.45.
Or get twice as much for $2 more.

This man is mad. I beg you, for the love of G-d, do not heed his counsel! Stay safe, and sane, far from Marmite and its ilk.

It is far too late for my damned soul, but you still have a chance, brother.

Run.

RUN!

I really, really, really want to hear a description of someone who’s trying marmite for the first time.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Psst … see my link above. :slight_smile:

I used to actually EAT the boullion cubes, growing up.
I got some Marmite, ordered it from afar.
It’s ok. :slight_smile:

penultima thule, what’s a fool’s gold sandwich?

Take a fresh baked loaf of bread. Hollow it out. Spread inside an entire jar of peanut butter. Then an entire jar of jelly. Then a pound of bacon. Eat. Die.

Seriously, a picture.

… or take two for an evening snack

Fools Gold Sandwich/Loaf

Wow. I’ve never heard of those.

And I never want to hear of one again TYVM

I’ve already got a jar from our last trip, but this may come in handy.

My wife scoffs at the way I eat Marmite. I like it in a buttered toast sandwich with melted cheese and tomatoes. Lettuce is optional. It also works open faced. I don’t need the cheese either. Just tomatoes and Marmite on buttered toast is great.

For all those addicts (which includes me), you will soon have the chance to sample Extra Strength Marmite.

This is the key. I think people don’t know how little they are actually supposed to use. Here’s a pic of the finished product. Yum!

When I lived in Australia for a couple of years, I was rather confused as to why the people I stayed with were all obsessed with me trying Vegemite. I told them it tastes like a weaker version of Marmite, and I think they were offended. I think they were even more offended to discover that Marmite was invented first. :smiley:

Doubly offended to discover that Australia isn’t bigger than Europe. But they were country bumpkins, so I can’t take them as representative. (Put ‘Europe Australia size comparison’ into google and you get this thread as the top link…Please note the numbers at the bottom in sq km. It looks like someone got confused with sq mi).

A new pleasure! A new pleasure! :smiley:
