An Australian-Canadian cafe owner has been ordered by the Canadian food regulator to scrape Vegemite off his menu. The prime minister skated in with elbows up.
Marmite is essentially the same thing, but Vegemite is slightly better.
While Marmite is extremely sticky, Vegemite is easier to spread. It’s extremely salty, and yeasty with a bitter aftertaste.
I like it on plain toast with butter and an almond sized amount. It’s great as a sandwich with some sharp white cheddar, lettuce and tomato.
I also add it in the beef for hamburger patties, or I add it to cover my pot roast along with some mustard, butter and herbs before putting that in a slow cooker.
While I don’t agree with the other replier to you, I will caution anyone who wants to try it that they only need a small amount spread on toast and if you go slapping it on like Hazelnut spread, you’ll get a bit of a surprise.
Edit And today I learned vegemite has a fortified b vitamin version…
I mean the people that I’ve seen spread it like peanut butter (hazelnut spread equivalent). It’s not vile like the taste of a durian but it’s something that invokes a medicine type taste that leaves you squinting one eye and bobbing your head.
I imagine most people’s reaction to Vegemite is like my recent first reaction to Wasabi. If I get too much out of the jar with the knife, odds are it is t going back in.
What does it taste like?

Those sound like delicious recipes!

More like a kids first time eating baking chocolate despite a warning.
Very salty shit.
