Friday Fun - US kids eating vegemite
-
-
How often do you eat that?
-
I can't anymore, since it isn't gluten free. But I do eat marmite on occasion. It's like having to settle for Pepsi instead of Coke, but at least it is similar :)
-
Do you just eat it on toast?
-
Usually - toast, butter, and marmite
-
One of these days I will try that.
-
video your reaction :)
-
Will do.
-
Mmmm.... vegemite.
-
Looks nasty.
-
Honestly i am curious about "vegemite" haven't seen that yet :(
-
You might be able to find it there. Popular in Australia.
-
Is it sour? Bitter? Sweet? how do you describe the taste?
-
Toast + butter + Vegemite = win
It's not jam or peanut butter so don't put it on as such if you've never had it before. If you do, it'll knock your socks off.
As to the taste, it's not sweet. It's savoury.
As to Marmite and the other knock-offs... I detest them immeasurably.

You should look around, I bet that you can find it there.
-
I describe the taste to people as solidified soy sauce. Very salty, and has lots of umami (savory meat-tasting).
If you do end up trying it, the trick is to spread it thinly, rather than like jam.
I've only met one person in my life who has liked it who didn't grow up eating it.

You Aussies and your weird foods. :P

Marmite is delicious. I regularly have it on toast for breakfast. Never tried vegemite.

Twiglets are also ace!
