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

bah! nevermind the vegimite, bring on the kimchi!

Wasabi!

Sorry about that krashkart, it was me who said dig a spoon in and shove in your mouth - Yummy!!

I didn't think you would though, even I'm not man enough to do that!

but like TarJak said, good to spread on buttered toast with a glass of OJ for breaky!!

When your making a beefy gravy add a spoon of vegi, excellent!

Reece, you helped to progress my salt-and-pepper manhood.

That was a payload of de-icer! My thanks altogether. However, I may just bill you for any future cardiac troubles.

Best Wishes,

EDIT:

Besides, that jar has been sitting in my cupboard since December 25th, 2009. I need to find a use for it or it goes to waste. I might try the toast spread.

And now I wonder....

Could Vegemite/Marmite/regional derivative survive a nuclear holocaust?? If so, how would it evolve? Could it one day form intelligent life?

This might just be one for the MythBusters!
