Vegemite is perhaps one of the worst tasting things I have ever eaten, it so so bad. I cannot begin to comprehend how people in Australia eat this stuff, I just had a tiny bit and I almost threw up from it. Worst part is that it left a really bad after taste in my mouth, and it smells really bad too.

Anyone here actually like it? Im curious as to what Australian users have to say.

I have never tried it as I live in the US, but I've only heard horrible things about it.

"Vegemite"? It sounds like a crystallized veggie. What is it, exactly?

It's kind of a mashed vegetable paste as far as I can tell.

Its yeast-extract, a by-product of Beer production... Here in Ireland, and in the UK it's called Marmite. Vile stuff....

Kinda sounds like that nutella crap they eat in some countries. Our grocery store sold some and it was garbage. Luckily it has a long shelf life, cuz nobody buys that crap. I think in the 5 years I worked there I only restocked it once.

Nutella is a hazel nut and chocolate paste. Not even CLOSE to the same thing.

I've also heard that it's one of the most delicious and popular spread products ever made.

Spreadable crap in a jar. Case closed lol. I wasn't referring to the actual ingredients, but rather disgusting spreadable foods that are popular in certain regions of the world.

Yep

Helmet

Instead of a metal like cap that its normal cousins use, the vegemite has foolishly chosen a plastic medicine cap.

Different courses. Take me for example, I love Vegemite but hate ketchup. We all have different tastes. Besides, you'd have to be pretty ignorant to just eat it with a spoon like I've seen some people do.

All three of thesepeople are correct. I have a theory that only us Australians can like the taste of the heavens that is vegemite. I have it every morning on toast for breakfast and I always go away satisfied.

Yeah, I love the stuff (I'm Aussie though), it smells absolutely vile but put a thin layer of it toast with butter and its divine, putting it on too thick makes it vile as well.

I just got back from having my piece of toast and vegemite. I had a bit of a scare though. I went into the pantry and found the jar... Then I took the lif off and it was empty :o! Then I looked in the pantry again and there was an unopened jar :D.

I understand foreigners disliking vegemite, because I've given them a teaspoon full in the past to try it. lol. Any Aussie knows that you have it THINLY spread. Crumpets with butter and a LIGHT spread of vegemite are some of the the tastiest things on Earth!

Ne'er have I dared put vegemite on the almighty crumpet. Tempted, but ne'er. I'll stick to just lathering butter onto them :P It's the Australian equivelent of Ambrosia, so wonderful yet those few worthy can truly experience it.

Cheese on a crumpet? I've had vegemite and cheese on toast, but not a crumpet. So crazy it just might work. Too bad all I have is crumpet toast at the moment (great stuff)
