so how do you eat it
Sparingly!

Trying Vegemite is a must-do cultural experience for international travellers but many make the mistake of layering it too thickly.

Or, even worse, eating a lump off a spoon, which not even Aussies could stomach.

Most Australians will tell you that you only need to add a very light layer to your buttered toast or crackers. This is more than enough to give you that wonderful flavour.

I prefer Mighty Mite by the three threes company. Just as tasty but easier to spread. Vegemite’s getting too bloody dear.
 
I’ll go with the sewer sludge theory. What won’t you guys eat....?
 
I prefer vitameatavegamin.


That's vitamins, meat, vegatables, and minerals. And about 20% alcohol. Right Lucy?

Vegemite (/ˈvɛdʒɪmaɪt/ VEJ-i-myte)[1][2] is a thick, black 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. The Vegemite brand was owned by Mondelez International (formerly Kraft Foods Inc.)[3] until January 2017, when it was acquired by the Australian Bega Cheese group in a US$460,000,000 (equivalent to about $470,000,000 in 2018) agreement for full Australian ownership after Bega would buy most of Mondelez International's Australia and New Zealand grocery and cheese business.[4]

A spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits as well as a filling for pastries, Vegemite is similar to British Marmite, New Zealand Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite, OzEmite, German Vitam-R, and Swiss Cenovis.

Vegemite is salty, slightly bitter, malty, and rich in glutamates – giving it an umami flavour similar to beef bouillon. It is vegan, kosher, and halal.[5]
 
It is without doubt one of the nastiest "foods" I have EVER tasted, and I ate some pretty weird **** in my 25+ flying around the world. What say you crate crusher??

What he said in that comment up there (1).jpg


In all my travels, this is one product that I haven't tried. If I wasn't on the books to fly 16 hours later, I would've tried Monkey Brains when I was in Saudi back in the 80's.

I could never get them down just for the fact that I would know what I was eating. Even deep fried couldn't do it for me!
 
We can already buy (British) Marmite here in Canada. Similar to Vegemite. Saw it in Walmart. I'll pass on tasting it though.
 
No freaken' way again, never ever, not me

My former BIL Ulf was from Tasmania
his mom sends him a care package every so often
he got me to try it, I did reluctantly, doesn't even smell good IIRC
so I spread a little, 'barely any' on some sort of cracker/waffer
& I have to say, it's by far the "foulest/nastiest stuff I ever tasted"
& I've ate some weird stuff, in my travels over 60 years

it has to be an acquired taste or something
grown up/raised (or punished) eating that stuff
