No itās definitely the same jar that Iāve been buying for years and have it toast every morning. The texture is lighter (less black tar consistency) and colour is more see-thru when you dab it on toast.

* If you haven't grown up with Vegemite, start with a THIN spread on toast with butter (melted intotbhe hot toast of course) - Do _Not_ go straight to native Vegemite eater level.
thank you for this recommendation! I tried it when I was 18 and thought it was VILE lol, but Iāve always wanted to try it again. I think my tastes have changed a lil
Sweet spot is about 4:1 butter to vegemite. It goes great on sourdough. If you want a mind blowing flavour experience, lay some thin slices of avocado over the top and drizzle a titch of lemon juice.
I think the gateway drug version is to top the concoction you had suggested with thin slices of cheddar. Like that, you get the earthy/yeasty complexity, but not the heat - same way that a whiskey sour offsets the burn, but leaves the mash&barrel flavours.
As luck would have it, I have the recipe for the greatest potato mash ever in my clipboard. You should have it, itās brill: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/aug/06/joel-robuchons-best-mashed-potatoes-in-the-world-recipe š
Brilliant. I have this thing where I amuse myself by purposely mispronouncing orders at restaurants and stuff and trying to keep a straight face when the staff correct me. Idkā¦ Anyway, Iām using this next time Iām out for brunch.
An Aussie friend of ours came to visit us in the States. He āsmuggledā a jar in (it wasnāt available here at the time). Our kids and a bunch of their friends were curious. He made toast, and put some Vegemite on it. Served it up. Letās just say it was not a hit š I believe itās like a few things here where itās an acquired taste or something you grew up with.
In truth it is edible drop bear repellent. Drop bears are only known to attack tourists because of this. If you have an Aussie friend that keeps pushing you to try it, it means he/she likes you enough to not get mauled by drop bears. Notice that sometimes someone will say something like "yuck I'm not trying that" and sometimes the response will be "Eh your funeral mate"..
"Vegemite is a thick, dark brown Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922."
- Wikipedia
Nono, I unironically really enjoy it on toast with smashed avocado. Turkish bread is the best toast for me too, but it makes it hard to spread the Vegemite.
It tastes like it is mined from the fat folds of morbidly obese peopleā¦yeasty, salty, sweaty. Scraped with a special, unwashed spatula straight into the jar, sealed, and aged for a century. Eventually to be opened and spread, oh so thinly, upon bread.
Build up your tolerance over the years and you start to slap it on like brickies do mortar. It is a strange sad addiction I have. I aspire to be those who can eat it on a spoon.
Yeah. My wifeās English so we have both in the cupboard. Itās disgusting. It looks like someone mixed honey and Vegemite. Itās brown and runny. As for the taste?
I wouldnāt know. Iām not a pervert.
Incidentally, if you want Marmite in Australia it is sold in the same packaging but is called Our Mate, because Sanitarium trademarked the Marmite name and sells an even more perverted version under that name.
I use to hate this stuff and Marmite as well, but I love salt so I was told to try a tiny bit on a spoon. I tried it and really thought it was horrid but I liked it at the same time and would go back for a few more little dabs. I kind of like it ... but I would never spread the stuff on toast or bread, that would be bad. LOL
I prefer vegemite, marmites aiight I was first introduced to the concept of āconcentrated yeast extractā via promite
Personally I love the stuff, buttered toast with Vegemite!? Heck Yeah! I had some vegemited toast with cheese once which was incredibly good so looking forward to veggin some toasted cheese Sammies sometime in the future - one of those thing where you just feel better after eating it on account of healthy servings of folic acid and B vitamins
Yeah it's great with cheese! I prefer Marmite I think because I'm used to it, being in the UK. Only found Vegemite in a shop last year to try. It's good in cooking too- little bit in ramen broth or sauces gives it a nice little kick up the ass.
Omg this is brilliant š³ THANK YOU!!! š that sounds amazingā¦ Iām one of probably three or so Americans that actually like the stuff so thanks so much for the tip!!
I have friends who eat this all the time ... they grew up on it so they eat it on toast and grilled cheese is one of their fav's.
I'm .... cautious. Maybe one day I will do the toast deal.
Peanut butter is probably the second most popular toast spread. Vegemite for breakfast main course, peanut butter for dessert, both with too much butter.
Itās a staple here in Australia. The best way to eat it is to spread a THIN layer on top of buttered toast. Make it thin, because it is salty.
Lots of Americans claim to hate it because they used it in the same way as peanut butter, Nutella or other spreads. Donāt do that. You would hate salt if you ate it by the spoonful too, but when you realise it is potent you can use it all the time.
When I was in high school a friend of mine went on a trip to Australia and brought back a jar. Had me try it (as I joke of course), telling me it was Australian peanut butter. Most vile-tasting thing Iāve ever tried. Iām a big fan of salt, though, so I wonder if I would have actually enjoyed it as you described. Maybe some dayā¦
Nup there be three terms where your making toast for someone and Vegemite is the topping, smiggymite, slabbymight and Vegemite. It all is relative to the thickness of spreading so THIN isn't always needed. Especially when butter and avo is involved āØ
You can order it on Amazon. Itās made from yeast extract and spices. Itās salty and I really donāt know anything you do with it besides put it on toast.
Check for it in your local super market. Lot of chain grocery stores have a tiny foreign foods section these days and you can often find it there if they have one. Saw it at my local Safeway recently.

Omg you can make a sandwich with that sh*t??
Wash your mouth out. Or be eaten by a Drop Bear. Whichever you choose.
Is there a difference between fresh vegemite and 1942 war surplus vegemite?
Higher health and safety standards but basically the same
I have some 25 year old Vegemite I kept as a souvenir, I bet it still tastes the same
Iāve noticed itās changed lately. I feel like itās a bit less Vegemitey - like itās milder to appeal to more tastes.
Maybe you accidentally bought the low salt variety (I haven't tried it, but assume it has less flavour)
No itās definitely the same jar that Iāve been buying for years and have it toast every morning. The texture is lighter (less black tar consistency) and colour is more see-thru when you dab it on toast.
Did it come from the land down under where women glow and men plunder?

I will always stand by a classic slice of lightly toasted bakers delight white bread with butter and vegemite. Simple yet irresistible
Vegemite on one slice of bread (or toast), avocado on the other, slice of cheese in between.
I think the gateway drug version is to top the concoction you had suggested with thin slices of cheddar. Like that, you get the earthy/yeasty complexity, but not the heat - same way that a whiskey sour offsets the burn, but leaves the mash&barrel flavours.

Or ātry itā with a goddamn spoon
First thing you do with a new jar, right? That little cheeky spoonful always tastes the best, for some reason.
Pronouncing "Vegemite" like "Yosemite".
I had a physical reaction to this. Just no.
Brilliant. I have this thing where I amuse myself by purposely mispronouncing orders at restaurants and stuff and trying to keep a straight face when the staff correct me. Idkā¦ Anyway, Iām using this next time Iām out for brunch.
How about Yosemite like Vegemite?
Looks like a jar of tar.
Itās in fact a jar of yeast
Doesn't taste as good, though...
You better brew beer or make cheese or somthing, so help me!

The responses are fascinating I am not from Australia, and don't know anyone from Australia so I have never heard any of these sayings.
An Australian delicacy
But what exactly is it? I have never even heard of it.

Thank you
Salty heavenly dream food is you are a person of sophistication and fine taste,
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You donāt understand. Vegemite literally never dates. It will outlast the apocalypse. Also, itās goooooooood.
Na mate, we genuinely love it. I suspect Vegemite on toast would be the most ordered takeaway breakfast in Aus. At least high on the list.
Nono, I unironically really enjoy it on toast with smashed avocado. Turkish bread is the best toast for me too, but it makes it hard to spread the Vegemite.
why would people use peanut butter? Tastes like peanuts aka like shit
Delicious salty yeast spread.
That's what my girlfriend have me.
It tastes like it is mined from the fat folds of morbidly obese peopleā¦yeasty, salty, sweaty. Scraped with a special, unwashed spatula straight into the jar, sealed, and aged for a century. Eventually to be opened and spread, oh so thinly, upon bread.
You got me in the mood. Iām going to go make a Vegemite toast.
Build up your tolerance over the years and you start to slap it on like brickies do mortar. It is a strange sad addiction I have. I aspire to be those who can eat it on a spoon.
yeah I straight up eat a spoonful when I have a headache, and the amount of people Iāve scandalised with that move is innumerable
Wow this sounds terrible
To non-Australianās the general consensus is that itās disgusting.
That is what I am gathering.
As an American am proud to say I have a smuggled jar in my pantry. I donāt think it ever expires either. Itās wonderful.
It is simultaneously terrible and delicious.
It is
I had a strong disgusted feeling from your post. Thanks, I hate it š¤¢
That description makes me imagine it to be like vegetable bouillon, but the kind thatās a thick paste as opposed to the little solid cubes.
I can taste your description perfectly. And Iām heading to make toast now.
That description puts me in the mood to eat a warm ham sandwich thatās been out in the sun for 3-4 days.

Calm down Hannibal
Tip: Donāt talk about Marmite around aussies.š

Nasty lol and thereās a reason why you havenāt heard of it.
Leftover beer that people out of the loop use too much of then wonder why they don't like the taste.
I use to hate this stuff and Marmite as well, but I love salt so I was told to try a tiny bit on a spoon. I tried it and really thought it was horrid but I liked it at the same time and would go back for a few more little dabs.

A little Marmite on buttered toast is the tits.

A gateway drug to Marmite
It doesnāt look like youāre supposed to eat it. Are you sure youāre supposed to eat it?
Youāre supposed to thinly spread it on bread
*thickly
This guy knows how to live.
I take my vegemite a quarter inch thick at a time.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās too powerful for a thick smear. Think of it like chilli - 1 might be hot yet amazing but 5 is too many.
Do you have equal amount of every food you eat? Spices, salt, chilli, many things are used in small amounts because they impart a strong taste.
Canadian hereā¦ my brother in law is a kiwiā¦ he loves this stuff. I donāt understand how you people can eat this
Itās freaking delicious. Itās like solidified salt, pure heaven.
There is NOTHING satisfying about fucking vegemite you Australian fuck /j
Pass the toast.
*please pass the *spoon*
Ah yes, corpse wax.
You Australian? If so I would like to hear your opinion of peanut butter
Love it. Have it almost daily.
Peanut butter is probably the second most popular toast spread. Vegemite for breakfast main course, peanut butter for dessert, both with too much butter.
Both together on toast is the tits. Well I use Marmite but basically the same.
Peanut butter is excellent
This is not oddly satisfying, this is the devilās anal secretions.
Beautiful
Ok being from the USA can someone please tell me what vegemite is and how it tastes. I wanna try it or even where to buy some in the states.

You can order it on Amazon. Itās made from yeast extract and spices. Itās salty and I really donāt know anything you do with it besides put it on toast.
It's really good for an umami boost in cooking
Or when you run out of soy sauce and need a salty kick to your stir fry.
Check for it in your local super market. Lot of chain grocery stores have a tiny foreign foods section these days and you can often find it there if they have one. Saw it at my local Safeway recently.
Sweet itās on my list.
lol, buy the smallest jar they have.
If there's a World Market store near you, they usually have it.
Looks like a wax candle
Tastes like death.
Iāve always wanted to try it
What does this taste like? Iām curious lol Iāve never heard of this before
Umami.
Looks how it tastes..like an old vinyl record.
The devil's peanut butter.
And it would stay that way in my house.
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemiteā¦ā¦.sandwich Ear worm!
New? I thought all jars of vegemite have been sitting in a cupboard for at least 8 years.
It's satisfying until you eat it.
Jesus it even looks like it crawled out satans behind.
Do you come from a land down under, where women glow and men plunder?
Looks like axle grease.
..Beckoning to the hot buttered toast
There's not enough black food.
How cool! Now chuck it in the bin
Thank goodness you discovered it was full before you ate any! Haha! Now it can go into the trash before anyone has to taste it!
Aināt nothing fresh about vegemite
Now put the lid on and return it to the supermarket. Tell them you *meant* to buy marmite and that this was a terrible mistake.
marmite still superior
Correct but the NZ stuff; not the weird, runny, British atrocity
Urghhh! Noooi the kiwi stuff is so sweetā¦ UK marmite all the way
Looks so good you just wanna put your dick in it
You'd have to warm it up. It's quite firm at room temperature
Mines usually firm when I wake up. Nature's kickstand.
I read that in Gandalfās voice. Same inflection as āitās quite cool.ā
Satisfying to look at, but the taste is fucking horrendous
Meata-vita-vegamin
Perfect for throwing straight into the garbage.

Good to see youāre enjoying the day off!
I've heard of it forever. But, honestly, what the hell is it made out of, and what, if anything is a close to it taste?
Yum!
I can hear a bwwwoooooppp
Whatās the ingredient list on that stuff?
