Well Ed......Take it from an Aussie, you either love the stuff or you hate it.I can guarantee it is in most peoples cupboards in Australia, some like to put it on thier toast thick which i can't do as it has a bitter and a tangy flavour, others might describe it differently.Having said that, I do like it and it has a good source of vitamin B.

When I looked at it spread on some toast on the web, I thought it looked like a pale plum jam and thought it might taste something like that. However going to stay with honey for toast at least for now hehehe.

I think it tastes like slimy salty raw cabbage, vile, but some people love the stuff.

Like Ed, I had never heard of it either, until here on aka. I read that it is (or can be) very salty. Is that true?

Its also good as a stock for soups and casseroles, and when melted it takes on a different taste.

We visited down under and saw some family, they took great delight in making us eat Vegemite. I thought that it was a by-product of brewing industry, someone just said beef? which is it? Anyway, I ate some, thin on toast. Would I run out and get some, not quite. My daughter teaches, and when they do unit on Australian culture, she gets some, sends home a release to be signed before she gives it to kids, few like it. So, as someone has said, we like what we had as kids. Not all like "hot weiners", "clam cakes", "coffee milk", or "Dels frozen lemonade" , all of which we are weaned on here in little RI.

It is virtualy the national spread of Australia and was developed in the early 1920s.
Sadly the Kraft Food Company who manufacture it are now owned by US interests.
Vegemite is black in colour and is quite salty to the taste but non the less I would say you will find a jar in every Australian home.
I like it on toast or on fresh, fresh bread yes two freshes as it has to be fresh. I spread a good layer of butter then I mix the vegemite through the butter yum.
It is a beef extract and high in B1, niacin and riboflavin, all good stuff.

This is what I think of marmite...ugh...sickening poofta sweet taste. It's something that only they would like. Vegemite is a man's food, salty, beefy...etc. too many words to describe it.

The taste is sort of tangy, bittery, however if you spread some on a salada, with butter/marge of course, not too much though. Then you can sqeeze it through the holes on the salada....yummy.
