Vegemite tastes like what I imagine the scum that collects around the inside of the toilet bowl would if it was scraped up and left in a jar in the desert sun for a few days.
So no, I don't like it :P

Phantom2595:

Actually we do, if you have a Bulk Barn near you you can get the British version Marmite. I never tried it, only reason I know about vegemite/marmite is of course because of Men At Work.

and Marmite because of Mr. Bean.

Or maybe I am just old.

You clearly haven't discovered Saskwach's Vegemite Recipe of Vegemite Goodness (TM). Now, for all you young'uns with no appreciation for the finer arts of Vegemite spreading, I'll give you a free lesson.

Step 1: Take two (2) slices of white bread.
Step 2: Place in toaster oven and toast until golden brown.
Step 3: Prepare for the end of the toasting by gathering knives (2), butter (1) and vegemite (1). This is important for the next step.
Step 3: Take those slices out immediately after they pop up and begin buttering. It should be a thin layer of butter; just enough to cover the surface but not enough to make anyone blanch at the sight of it. You only have a minute before the slices cool down to a temperature where they won't readily melt the butter into that nice golden brown texture so get a move on.
Step 4: Apply Vegemite spread in similar thickness; just enough to cover the surface, but in this case you should still be able to see the butter below.
Step 5 (optional): Pour one (1) glass of milk. Milk complements the taste of vegemite quite agreeably.

There really is no finer recipe for the 'mite.

I find it to be disgusting and it smells horrible.

It disgusts me. It's the most vile spread you can place on bread. I never got the love for it, I've heard people have debates over it's "greatness". It's like the saying It might not be much, but it's ours (i think that's right).\

Edit: It's really really bad with cheese.

Love it.

Spread it thick *sniggers*, its the only way to east it!

That's why the Americans hate it; because they have some weird notion that Vegemite should be spread like jam (Or 'Jelly', as they seem to call it).

And I hate thickly-spread jam, personally.

EDIT: Being an Aussie myself, I love the stuff. But it's an acquired taste, like Beer or Oyster.

I've always wondered why Americans call Jam, Jelly. It confused me to no end when I was younger when a cartoon would talk about "Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches". Why would you put Jelly on a sandwich? That's just weird.

I hate the stuff mate!

Ok really I don't like it and don't think its odd if you don't.

Saskwach:

I like vegimite IF it's mixed with enough butter to take the edge off.

Then it's my favorite topping.

But it requires a good deal of butter - for me at least, three parts butter for one part vegimite

Vegemite is good. You ust have to find the amount that is right for you some like a little some like alot. But it's good It's made from left over beer yeast. You can't say you don't like beer for breakfast and call yourself an Australian. You better move to sweden or something.

We're happy little Vegemites as happy as can be
We always love our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea
Our mummies say we're growing stronger every single week
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek!

I'm not Austrailian, but Marmite and Branston Pickle are better. XP

Peanut Butter..... yum yum yum yum yum

I fucking hate Vegemite.

Now you can have a lifetime's supply!

What? Vegemite? My god, that stuff is terrible! Who in their right mind would eat that? Marmite, on the other hand... *erhm*.

Eyclonus:

But what I do like doing is approaching annoying exchange students and daring them to eat a jarfull of it using only a spoon...

Many laughs have been had with that one.

You sir, are cruel. And wise.

Wha? "Should be?"
No wonder everybody else was looking at me funny...
Shit.

May I request an option on the poll that says "Know what it is, but is hilariously indifferent towards it."

I have both Vegemite and Marmite in my food cupboard, They're probably both past their use by date, I bought them ages ago to satisfy a British friend of mine who thought it was required for me to have one of the two. I don't think I've even opened them.

*goes and checks*

Yep, I haven't.

Fun fact that I just read on the jar of honey I had in the cupboard: Honey doesn't have a use by date, there was a guy who ate honey that he found in one of the pyramids, he said it was delicious and didn't die (from either the honey or the curse of the mummy)

i used to love it when i was little but i havent eaten it for nearly 8 years now. though i have thought about picking up Branston Pickle and Marshmallow Fluff though

Sackwak:
No, i too dont like the taste of Vegemite. Everytime i see those ads for the survey they make me cringe. Vegemite Pizza? Vegemite Ice-Cream? No Thanks!

Vegemite on toast is fine. However it should never be used for anything else. Particularly pizza.

The weird thing I've noticed about it is it's inability to go off. There's a use by date on there but I've never heard of anyone getting sick from eating spoilt Vegemite.

I'm still firmly in favour of "Waltzing Matilda".

Vegemite is just a crappy version of Marmite. And when I eat Marmite, I don't think about Men at Work, which is a good thing.

I find alot of people in the UK make the 'Marmite mistake'. They get the Vegemite and cake it on and wonder why its foul. Light scraping over the top, for flavour.

Tasty.

Well I think I'd like it if someone cut off my nose and burnt every taste bud I had. Seriously the stuff smells horrible I usually leave the room if someone is opening a new jar only because when its opened the first time the smell just flies out and brutally asualts my nose.

Note: Yes I am Aussie.

Actually whats the big difference between Vegemite and Marmite? as mentioned I can never get close enough to either to check

Then again, why would you mix Peanut Butter with Jam? The contrast would be horrible, I think.

EDIT: Vegemite was originally created in the Great Depression in order to save our beer industry. Who says Vegemite is bad?

I should kill you for that. That guy was an insult to our country... except Jake the Pake With His Extra Leg that song was funny as LOL!

Reaperman Wompa:

You know what's worse on bread? Shit.

Being British I've never tried the stuff so wouldn't know. I am a fan of marmite though, thickly spread with no butter.

I hate it with the passion of 1,000 suns! When I was little my dad used to chase me around the house with a jar of it, threatening to force me to eat it if I misbehaved.

Its good stuff man, just takes some getting used to. I missed it so much when i lived in china for a couple of years I got my mum to post me some for christmas!
