It is a yeast extract that is not dissimilar in taste to demiglaze stock off the bottom of a pan (ie. stock boiled down to the consistency of, well, vegemite...)

Aka, incredibly concentrated.

With melted butter on toast, you apply would be lovingly described as a smear. You mix it with the melted butter to form a savoury topping rather than a "good old US PB&J thickness coating".

As an aside, a single teaspoon of vegemite makes a reasonably strong broth in a mug that is great for sore throats.

But please America, keep on spreading it on like cake frosting, we love the videos... =D

FUCK thats a lot of vegemite!!!

Aussie here - never in my life have I ever used that much, thats like....waaaayyyyy too much.

It aint nutella people!

I'll personally approve of (and mirror) nearly all of that except the Mar-mite and Vegemite, (I reserve my opinion of Mar-mite, I didn't try it when I was down under) the self back patting/knee jerk insult, and the thanking of someone else's 'invisible friend'.
Can you guess which of those things irks me the most? ;-)

No, I'm representative of someone who thinks for themselves and for the creative spark that's left this house of cards circle-jerk of back-patters and party-liners. We also have Mar-mite and Vegemite jars in the fridge, Kylie Minogue's discography among the music selections in the hard-drive, and have tripped-balls playing the didgeridoo on several occasions.

We can also throat-sing, change a diaper, prepare delicious meals, compose music, be both a jerk and a sweetheart, clean a fish, pan for gold, grow vegetables, train dogs (and cats), service automobiles and small engines, and build a PC from parts down to the computer-supply store. Just your average human being.

Thank god for insects, Aussies and Yanks, and newts.

Kalle,
Please ignore the troll above, he is not representative of the sift.
That said...vegemite on ANYTHING??? The totally nasty 'vitamin and caster oil like' paste is inedible to anyone not raised on it...as I'm sure are many American tastes.

Vegemite on a spoon???

Cultureless lot!

Milo is primarily consumed hot, its essentially hot chocolate so Im guessing perhaps it didn't actually survive the trip.

Shapes are best when crunched up and rolled into a ball.... yeah, you heard me. They're just crackers tho.

Vegemite.... its death in a jar.

Cats prefer vegemite

Vegemite is not food.

Dear God, not the Vegemite!

*happy little vegemite!

And another thing. Check out those claws. They're like mini velociraptors!

I've never understood the spreads only sandwiches. A sandwich has to have substance! Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ham, salami, olives, spring onion, mayo, whole gran mustard, etc. I do like peanut butter, jam, Vegemite, but only on slices of toast with plenty of butter.


I'm hungry now

I just want to get this on record somewhere. Regarding the "Jarno Smeets" vid:

What's going to be really fun is when all you guys start defending your positions by saying that he really did fly, "but only because he was lucky in that the conditions were perfect."

We'll hear all about how, in the end, his device is incredibly inefficient, and how it's perfectly reasonable to think it was fake because it (something no one has ever seen) looks "so fake".

Then someone who only cares about money will do it with much better production values, and all you guys will be flying around with your wings on talking about what idiots everyone else is for walking.

Seriously though, can't wait to see you guys try to defend as to why you shouldn't have to eat your hats.

Also, I've never had marmite, but vegemite sure is awful.

>> ^razzyl:

Shepherd pie Vegemite is usually an Australian/NZ cuisine, no? Eh well, the video does make me hanker for a couple of frozen chicken pot pies. Either that or its the joint I just smoked. Mmmmm howdy!


Fixed.

Allo mate, wot say we pop on down to Winchestah for a quick pint of fish and chips at the ole loo. Take the lift, first, to bum a quick faggot off me mate, wot say

>> ^berticus:

here in NZ we call what that kid is eating a hot dog. and we call what you call hot dogs american hot dogs. and crisps are chips - but fries are chips too. and a chicken sandwich is a burger. and candy is lollies. and cookies are cookies but also biscuits -- and i don't think we have what you call biscuits. i tried biscuits and gravy in st louis and almost died it was so disgusting. but then i eat and love vegemite, so y'know.. can't judge.
wait. where the fuck am i?
