I'll double up on the panty liner since I will most definitely be excreting the waste product of vodka! (And that without even drinking any lately)<br /><br />Vegemite is probably a lot like sushi. Those sushi people rave about how great it is and smugly think less of those of us who think it tastes like something that washed up after last week's storm. If it's a club, then I'm hopelessly excluded.<br /><br />However, bring on the Vegemite. I will try at least a taste of amost anything once, just to prove I'm an open minded sport. My new friends in Pennsylvania Dutch country have promised me a hog maw dinner soon. Yeah--hog maw.Look it up.Did anyone else love the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks? The caviar-spitting scene?

I want to stay in paradise. <br />You might single handedly spread Vegemite across the world. A great sales pitch.<br />For Shevvy, as a child brought up on Marmite, Vegemite is similar but Marmite is more mellow. Another choice is Promite, it is sweeter, than either Vegemite or Marmite.<br />Shay, I am pretty sure you could find an alternative income in stand up comedy, or writing comedy material.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659940271976716013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-43947059286882105362010-04-21T06:14:07.279+09:302010-04-21T06:14:07.279+09:30I've never tasted vegemite, but know it is fro...I've never tasted vegemite, but know it is from the same family as marmite.

Maybe even the taste if I really wanted to pretend I was tough, but you lost me at the very beginning of this post with a picture of the container which proudly states, "concentrated yeast extract". Then, you had to talk about the salt. <br /><br />I have this phantom taste in my mouth of ridiculously yeasty, salty beer right now and feel the need, at 3pm in the afternoon, to wash it out with some actual beer! If I ever make it there, go ahead and tell me to try it but keep a garbage bin nearby in case I feel the bin needs to be added to.Sarcastic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260818745110503205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-38445386035031682132010-04-21T04:21:03.472+09:302010-04-21T04:21:03.472+09:30God I'm a kiwi and even I put my vegemite on t...God I'm a kiwi and even I put my vegemite on that thick BUT I have to have it on cold toast so that it doesn't all melt in and I can appreciate the flavour. I must admit though in the home we have Marmite as the rest of the family are wosses and find Vegemite a bit strong.Actually thats one of the things I enjoy about going into Southern X Hospitals, they have Vegemite sachets for the toast in the morning, and their toast is always cold.

Thanks so...Mrs P, I always wondered about vegemite. Thanks so much. After reading, I still can't decide whether I want to try it or not, though. You seem to be saying "I like it, but unless it's been forced on you since birth, you probably won't". Is that a good assumption? I'll try it anyway. What the heck. Funny though, it is yeast extract, bread is started from yeast....are you essentially spreading bread on bread?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-83435316004899741712010-04-21T01:19:38.831+09:302010-04-21T01:19:38.831+09:30I'll take your word for it!
