Why (most) people hate Vegemite

[Supertegwyn]

It's fucking disgusting.

Why have Vegemite when there's such a thing as Branston Pickle?

Pickles?

You call that food?

Pickle.

Not pickles.

Huge difference

Well, I live in Australia, so I kind of grew up with it on my breakfast toast... fucking hated it. Always have. I just can't stand the taste at all. In fact, I don't like anything on my toast anymore. Just margarine.

 

[Powereaver]

Being also australian... i personally enjoy vegemite especially on toast with a slice of cheese melted on top! its awesome.. but i can understand people not liking the taste.. and the whole fermented yeast extract would be very offputting to a lot of people

I once tasted Vegemite.

I once also tasted the gunk that collects under the bumper of a car.

They tasted about the same.

Thank you!


Vegemite/Marmite are amazing.

Toast, Marmite and a boiled egg. Omnomnom.

 

[Tazzy da Devil]

I love Vegemite, but haven't always loved it. I used to put too much on my toast. I guess it's an acquired taste.

I think it's okay, I don't mind it. But if you're going to pile it on thick, you may as well eat tar instead.

 

[DanielBrown]

Don't think I can find it anywhere in Sweden, apart from perhaps some special store, so I haven't tried it. Sounds intresting though!

 

[Hunter65416]

EXACTLY, It should be almost equivalent to the amount of margarine/butter

 

[CommanderL]

as a australian i say the only way to eat it is with some nice cheese on top

I've always had Promite, always. It's just a far superior spread (in my opinion).

First time I had Vegemite I really disliked it, and I still hate it. I hate the smell, even. It's just so painfully bitter and salty and... Eurgh! Puts me on edge.

Rather un-Australian of me, but it's so intolerable.

Promite tastes like somebody rubbed Vegemite in dirt =D

 

[Baron_Rouge]

I love Vegemite! Although I think I prefer Promite, which is apparently enough to incite mocking and claims of heresy from my friends. We're all Australian, so Vegemite is apparently the more patriotic choice...but I can't change my tastes! They're both good though

IMO, vegemite only works on toast in small to medium amounts.

 

[Bertylicious]

Don't load it on and shove it in.

Vegemite doesn't work like that.

Put a little bit on, nibble on it, and see if you like it.

Vegemite is like inferior marmite and the best way to have marmite is to load it on.

Masses of the stuff; just shovel it into your mouth via the bread.

 

[Smooth Operator]

So you can only stand it when the taste is masked enough?
Well now I wonder why people wouldn't want to eat such a thing...
