Why thank you Diuretic. I think I knew that info, but it was good to have the refressher.

Oh and by the way..I still like the word. It is a fun word to say.:-3

It's an acquired taste .... and I think I've acquired it ....

Marmite. The original, one and only. Vegemite! Pah...

Vegemite could possibly be used as an environmental poison in an area suspected to be held by the Taliban. Vegemite could possibly be used to strip varnish from old automobiles. Vegemite could possibly be the WORST substance ever put into a human mouth!

(Hmmm...let's see....does that cover it? I think so!)

I prefer the texture of Vegemite....and the bottle is straight sided so you don't waste so much......mind you....they do squeezy bottles for Marmite now !

Anyway ....it's ALL scrummy....just don't kiss anyone for 2 days after you've eaten it...

If I ever get down to OZ, I think I would like to try some. Just to say I have tried it.

our friend from Australia in Orlando always has some in the fridge, I wasn't tempted to try it after smelling it....:-3

Not if you have any still on your lips. Because you will be stuck together like Superglue...

Lips that touch vegemite....shall never touch mine!

Wait a minute "scent" is too delicate a word I think, yes "stink" is better. It tastes a bit salty at first. But it has a nice tart taste, wakes up your taste buds. Actually it probably sends the little buggers nuts at first but you get used to it.

I know I keep repeating myself, but it IS scrummy. The secret is to use it sparingly.

My 9 month old grandson is being introduced to it on toast 'soldiers'...he loves it.

yeah something that has veggie in the title for us vegetarians.

Its funny you changed something a bit gave it a new name and sent it back to us....and some buy it.

Shame I dont like it really.....my son LOVES anything like that but use it sparingly??? he plasters it like cement .....yuck but it is said to stop gnats from biting you if you eat enough.(who said???? my mum

)

Was that a yes to the "Worse substances?" :wah:

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 4:08 am

Ive never had it and I never will. Also I will persuade others to avoid it if possible. Its my own personal ban on the stuff. Over and out.

vampress.rozz · Post by **vampress.rozz** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 2:44 pm

vegemite is almost an institution. Should it replace the union Jack on the Aussie flag?

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 5:48 pm

I love this forum. How many places have thier own Vegemite threads??

Lizard Lips · Post by **Lizard Lips** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 8:49 am

I love the way that vegemite manages to inspire such amusing conversation. I personally LOVE the stuff. I don't believe in spreading it super thin, I like it thick. I like it so much that I scoop it out of the jar & lick it off the knife. It's very good on Wheat Thin crackers.

When I saw this topic, I knew that LuLu would be in here to give you HER opinion on the dreaded Vegemite!:rolleyes:

Lulu2 · Post by **Lulu2** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 10:06 am

Yes, Lips of the Lizard, I knew that eventually YOU (turncoat that you are) would arrive to sing the praises of this noxious substance!

This is the ONLY instance in which I've seen your judgement fail! :wah:

Lulu2 · Post by **Lulu2** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:42 am

The first step, I believe, is admitting that you are powerless in the throes of the dreaded VEGEMITE!

Lulu2 · Post by **Lulu2** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:49 am

You can eat that stuff in the morning?

Lulu2 · Post by **Lulu2** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 12:03 pm

And it doesn't ruin your breath for the entire day? Do you smear it on your wrist so you can smell it on your commute to work? Do you carry secret packets of it in your briefcase, so you can sneak into stairwells and get a fix?

Lulu2 · Post by **Lulu2** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 12:18 pm

And....just what is THIS packet in your sock? And....how about THIS one...in your wallet? And....what IS this stain on your collar?

Let me see your veins!

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 5:01 am

:-1 Now I wish I could get it here..so I could make the decision for myself..to either really hate it, or really LOVE it. Oh well, we cannot have everything.

I'm like Marie...I'm wishing we could get it here. I've had to use poison to kill/repel some rats lately and I've worried about it. Vegemite could be a more "earth friendly" solution, I'm sure!

Marie5656 · Post by **Marie5656** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 9:32 am

Lulu..I did some further searching, and found this site. We can actually order the stuff from here!!!'

Ooh, I love Tim-Tams too! I have a friend in Australia who has sent me care packages full of Tim-Tams, Vegemite & Musk Lifesavers. Another down under delicacy that we can't buy here!:-5

Just what the 'kin 'ell is a tim tam? It sounds like a kiddies drum...
