Vegemite

krashkart · 02-12-10, 03:54 PM

Christmas '09, my stepdad gives me a little jar of Vegemite as a gift. Five minutes later he asks me to put the lid back on.

I'd mentioned this on a thread somewhere, I think it was one of Yubba's, and someone replied "Go ahead and shove a spoonful of that in your mouth. Yum!". Well, I've had that jar sitting in my cupboard since Christmas and always wondered.

So today after a few seconds (*cough* hours) of deliberation (and just wanting something to write about) I did just that. Australia, you are a hearty breed with balls of tungsten. One other thing... "zomfg how much salt do you put in that stuff?!? Gah!"

.....

I did it. I bit the Vegemite bullet, baby!

Thats why a jar of that stuff lasts ages, your only supposed to use a very small amount (unless your a salt addict).

The proper procedure is to toast some nice thick sliced bread, lightly butter the toast then spread the vegemite over the toast and enjoy with a nice cuppa tea or coffee or a glass of orange juice for breakfast.

Putting a spoonful in you mouth is like putting a spoonful of salt in.

You can use it in cooking as well as a stock base.

From the sound of this, I'd store it in another container that also has a lid.

The thought had crossed my mind at first... but then this crossed my mind...

Aaargh! Rock away, my friends.

Vegemites not too bad, Marmites quite nice too

Not that much difference between the two though.
Shove a spoon of Tabasco sauce in your mouth though, that'll bring tears to your eyes

I can think of a few other places where a spoonfull of Tabasco would bring tears to your eyes, too.

Walked into that one!

I always wanted to taste Vegemite, because I am interested in "foreign food", but it's not available in germany. Ordering one Jar over the net is too expensive, so it seems I have to wait until I will go to Australia for the holidays.

Brother-in-law had an experience like that once.

Was chopping up jalapenos for something he was cooking. Got everything prepped and in the pot and took a potty break while it simmered away.

Naturally, being a very conscientious person, he DID wash his hands after he finished up in the bathroom.

He just didn't wash them before he started.

Been there, done that.

I once got a tiny bit of this pepper juice into my eye, which also hurts like hell.
