Why (most) people hate Vegemite

[thePyro_13]

With Vegemite, less is more.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Never heard of it but I seems to be some kinda knock off Marmite.

 

[loc978]

Ah, another brewer's yeast spread. I only know the stuff from this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McsWKczU6wc]

Why did I post here, I generally don't even eat bread...

Also, I mistrust processed food as a rule.
But I'd like to try the stuff on its own just to know what the hell brewer's yeast from a jar tastes like.

 

[skeliton112]

I have never tried Vegemite but I have this desire to. People think I'm crazy because I want to try new things. However, I would not go guns fully loaded and pile the stuff on a cracker or whatever. I'd be cautious about it at the very least.

Any suggestions on one would spend his first Vegemite experience?

I would recommend toast with Vegemite and cheese, with or without butter. I prefer without.

 

[Starik20X6]

Vegemite kicks ass. Granted, it's an acquired taste... You pretty much need to have been eating it since birth to like it as an adult.

 

[Fuhrlock]

I don't dislike vegemite, but it pales in comparison to marmite. I'm one of those people who layer marmite thickly and then get dissaproving looks from people who either don't like it or can't tolerate more than a thin layer.

 

[Sanat]

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

Dang. That's some fine tasty dirt.

 

[Danzavare]

I'm Australian and I have to say that no matter the quantity or how much butter I apply, as long as I can taste it it's utterly terrible. D:

But hey, if you like it then more power to you. I'm one of the few people I know who loves cranberry juice. (Particularly swirled around in a wine glass. >.>; )

Captcha: barking mad - DON'T JUDGE ME! D8<

Calm down there, crazy person. No one is judging you.

But, but.. the captcha! It taunts me, I know it! D':

I bet it knows it too! D:<

Okay, sweetheart. Just caaalm down and let me give you this medicine. You'll feel all better, I promise.

Captcha: "sweet dreams" Omg that is perfect, lol.

See! I told you it was out to get me! ;_;

Awww. Come here and I'll give you a hug.

That would explain the awkwardness of the sweetheart comment.

[sub]Hah! Now whose crazy![/sub]

OT: They had a competition a while back where they had people coming up with all sorts of ways to eat Vegemite. If I remember a lot of them were some variant of dipping something directly into it or just lumping it onto a cracker. At the very least the marketing department for Vegemite seems to think we should be serving it in handfuls.

 

[manic_depressive13]

People don't like vegemite because it tastes like fungus infected urine. That would probably taste okay if you spread it in a thin enough layer too.

 

[Roobarb]

Vegemite... Marmite.... Love it all. I especially love lagging my toast in Marmite, peanut butter and a layer of cheese... A meal in itself... It's the stoner way.

I was readying it behind my back, silly! So you're still the crazy one

Touche'.

Vegemite is delicious if you don't go and pile it on your toast. If you haven't tried it before I would recommend it with butter and thinly spread, but some other tasty combos include:
- Vegemite and cheese
- Vegemite and tomato
- Vegemite and avocado
But if you don't happen to like it that is your choice /cracks knuckles

 

[Samus Aran but a man]

I agree completely. I couldn't eat big gobs of it - just a thin layer on toast. It's a nice, savoury snack for when I get the munchies.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've never tried Vegimite...and being an American I have no idea what it even is to be honest. Kind of ironic really; living in the land of the fat and not knowing about a certain type of food. Well, condiment I guess. I would try it though if I had the chance. What is it good with? I would put it on some kind of sandwich personally.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

I love me some vegemite on occassion, and sometimes it's marmite. Never Bovril though. Fuck that shit.

 

[karcentric]

Personally, I can't stand the taste.

 

[FamoFunk]

Because Marmite:

Spoiler

Marmite is the God of Yeast food stuff. Vegemite just tastes shit in comparison.
