I'm super curious about vegemite. Dolemite and marmite as well.

Dolomite is just calcium magnesium carbonate so don't get to excited about it.

Basically garden variety limestone has magnesium replace some of the calcite altering it to form dolomite.

Why would you drink a by-product of what could have been Heineken?

That's like draining the blood off a meat patty and drinking it.

It is a little known fact that to become an Australian citizen you must pass the vegimite test of being able to enjoy the taste of vegimite on freshly toasted bread ..... mmmm Vegimite *runs to the kitchen to make toast*

In the interest of constructive and friendly boarding, the new spirit of the forums blahdy blah I am going to not make a sardonic bitchy comment instead here is this:

My girlfriend is from Canada and she is becoming an Australian citizen (she is retaining her Canadian citizenship as well)... fuck, next Monday! I insist that she will not be Australian until she tastes Vegemite. I am hoping to convince her on the day she takes her oath.

I do not like marmite, I have tried to like it many times, spread thinly etc. but it is just too salty/strong for my tastes so I used it to make a stock for soup. Was okay. Might be good for a mac and cheeze sauce rue...

I guess what I am saying is if you buy it to try it and hate it, use it in cooking or something.

But it tastes like nothing containing yeast I have ever tasted.

I hate Marmite, but I love Twiglets.

I think I just dislike spreads in general, which would explain it.

Marmite/etc are pretty much the worst spreads. It is all sorts of hella bad.

It is not true that you either love it or you hate it, I sometimes like it and sometimes I'd rather have jam.

Crumpets should be eaten with either honey or just butter alone. Anything else is sacriledge. And I don't even eat butter.

Something I find funny: crumpet is an old-fashioned English slang term for attractive women with whom you would like to fornicate. Providing of course that you are an upper-middle class man with a moustache and a monacle, what what?

Iron_Fist · « **Reply #72 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 23:27 »

Marmite is the gay version of Vegemite. Vegemite is the spreading of true men.

Neskah · « **Reply #73 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 23:51 »

Ahhh reading this made me run to my pantry and check. Hallelujah! Vegimite for the win. Kiwis seems to prefer Marmite (WTF?), but if my boy decides it's okay to spend $20 a punnet on his favourite honey, I'm bloody well going to have Vegimite in our cupboard over Marmite anyday.

So true that it makes you feel better when you're ill. It's what got me through my Glandular fever.

All hail the Vegimite. A taste of home in every jar!

We're happy little vegimites as bright, as bright can be...

pwhodges · « **Reply #74 on:** 02 Feb 2009, 00:39 »

Vegemite was only made when the Australians couldn't get their Marmite as a result of the first world war. They think it's better than Marmite only because they compare it with NZ-made Marmite (also started at that time), which has a slightly different recipe with added sugar giving a weaker taste than the original.

Slick · « **Reply #75 on:** 02 Feb 2009, 01:23 »

As a Canuck, I would like to register that I like vegemite over marmite. I like the consistency of vegemite better, and the flavour (less sweet? less tacky, I want to say?) as well.
Vegemite goes much better with a turkey & rye sandwich, which I think is the epitome of sandwich (highly subjective personal belief).

Am I the only one who used to like Bovril when they made it from beef extract but hate it now that they've switched to yeast extract?

I shall have to try this, it sounds extremely good. I'm quite a fan of Marmite and peanut butter myself, the Marmite offsets the sweetness of the peanut butter nicely. It's good for vitamin B12 as well so very handy if you're steering clear of the animals.

nichidani · « **Reply #78 on:** 04 Sep 2009, 09:23 »

this thread is making me grossed out. i don't know about marmite, but i absolutely despise vegemite.

i'm an american, though. which somehow makes that make more sense.

My ex-wife was British and tried for many year without any success to get me into Marmite. I absolutely hated it no matter what it was spread on. I've never tried Vegemite but the "mite" on the end of it prolly means i will hate it as well.

jhocking · « **Reply #82 on:** 04 Sep 2009, 18:51 »

vaguely related tangent: I ate some stuff called Quorn at a 4th of July cookout. These are all foods made from fungus, right? I was kinda disappointed by how normal that stuff tasted; people kept reassuring me that it doesn't taste weird, but when I eat something made of exotic ingredients I actually want it to taste exotic, not like chicken.

Vegemite is foul. If you want a spread, then go with Nutella or peanut butter. Better yet do both and make me a sandwich.

Now.

A couple of pieces of buttered toast with a prudent amount of vegemite and a glass of milk is a pretty good light breakfast, although I literally cannot eat vegemite without milk.

Nutella is horrible and you are a horrible person if you like it. It makes me really uncomfortable to put Peanut Paste on toast for some reason though.

A Shoggoth on the Roof · « **Reply #87 on:** 05 Sep 2009, 01:19 »

names names names. fuck it, they're all polysaccharides to me.
also you do not put nutella on toast. that is just wrong. it is so deliciosu on pretzels, why would you put it on any sort of bread?

Lines · « **Reply #88 on:** 05 Sep 2009, 04:28 »

I don't like either on toast. Untoasted bread or graham crackers.

A Shoggoth on the Roof · « **Reply #89 on:** 05 Sep 2009, 13:20 »

I can sort of see graham crackers but i'm still not sure about the untoasted bread. I'll have to try it sometime, I have all the ingedients already

Eris · « **Reply #91 on:** 05 Sep 2009, 15:52 »

vegemite is good on toast with lots of butter and not much vegemite. marmite is not as good as vegemite, though i haven't had it in years. the new "different" vegemite is nothing special. nutella is delicious; i would eat nutella sammiches all the time if i could. sometimes i have it on pancakes, when i make them or buy a pack of "heat 'em up in the toaster" hotcakes.

The second best: Being in a room having told someone that Marmite is like a Nutella competitor, and watching them take a big bite of a piece of toast with thick-spread yeast paste on it.

The best: A similar scenario involving a language barrier, a couple of immature class mates on a school trip abroad,Hasselnussbusser (Hazelnut butter) and Leberkaese ("liver cheese). Ha, ha, bet three years of Latin-to-help-on-the-SATs isn't looking so good now.

I only share peanut paste with my puppies, but that's because they make funny faces when I do.

I guess we could have joint custody of the peanut paste, but you can only have it on weekends every other week.
