@martinfeld I’ll take your word for it. But it looks like a jar full of tormented human souls. 😆
@Cheri @rogerscrafford Haha I love the contrast in your responses. I told my wife @NTKF, who hates Vegemite, and she said, ‘I’m the tormented soul in this house’. 😂😂😂
@martinfeld Yum. Fortunately I can get Vegemite in the US via Amazon; I used to have to get my NZ family to send over a jar. My wife hates the stuff, so it's all mine.
@dejus It’s good that you found a way to get it! I’d be devastated if I weren’t able to buy it regularly.
@rogerscrafford @martinfeld Marmite is my preferred yeast spread - I swear that there is a difference in taste. Thankfully there is a store here on Maui that sells it. The rest of the family have their own feelings about my morning diet!
@crossingthethreshold We have one local source that sells both, side by side on the shelf. A surfeit of yeastiness! But I doubt I will do a taste comparison ... too much of a good thing.
@rogerscrafford 😄 It’s been a while since I ate veggiemite, but I know that if one was not available, I’d be quite happy with the other.
@crossingthethreshold Don’t let them judge you! 😀
@crossingthethreshold @rogerscrafford Haha yes a side-by-side comparison would probably be too much! There’s just something super-satisfying about yeast spreads on really crunchy toast though, so I wouldn’t blame you if you did.
@tones I enjoy it with butter but I’m one of those sick people who enjoys it even more when lathered on toast without butter...
@martinfeld Never tried it, and though I'm not a picky eater, I’m failing to see the compelling case for trying it. But I found the other replies interesting.
@ReaderJohn A rule of thumb: if you like a lot of Japanese food (saltiness, umami), Vegemite/Marmite is worth a try. If you don't, you probably won't like V/M either.
@martinfeld I first heard of Vegemite from an Australian friend living in the US. She used to have her family mail her a regular supply. When we asked her about it, she said that only Australians could appreciate it, and wouldn't even let us try it.
I guess I've proved her wrong.
@ReaderJohn THIN layer, only a glaze, on toast. Don't spread like peanut butter or it will be gross.
@ReaderJohn Generally, people either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. You’d simply be deciding where you sit, haha. 😀
@odd Best of luck! Just make sure that you have it on toast the first time. I like it thick and without butter, however it’s best to try it with butter and a bit thinner. (Great with avocado too!) Don’t destroy your tastebuds straight away.
@JMaxB That was very definite and conclusive of her to say! I’m glad that you like it though.
@martinfeld It’s clear that you don’t work in their marketing department! 😂 I’ll have a try anyway! 😊
