Vegemite - Love it or hate it?

I eat Vegimite by the spoonful. My Dad hates it though and buys Promite (blergh!). He's the enemy of the Australian...er...Yeast Grower.

 

Yeah I love vegemite on toast, dipped in orange juice! It sounds weird but seriously, try it!

 

I'm eating straight spoonfuls of it now!

 

That's sick

 

I love vegemite,but i eat Marmite.

 

I dig it, but its not aussie no more

I like it with Nutlex and ricecrackers

 

Vegemite has been owned by Kraft before WW2 but does it matter?

If you mean Nuttelex margarine, according to Choice magazine it is one of the worst offenders when it comes to the percentage of trans fats, in fact half the margarines sold in Australia could not be legally sold in Denmark where there are limits on the amount trans fats that foods can contain.

According to Wikipedia, kraft have devised a process of hardening veg oils without producing trans fats but it still contains residues of aluminium and nickel oxides from the catalysing process.

Anyway getting back to Vegemite, I sometimes use to make gravy.

 

youre full on about the margaine arent you ?

 

Geez...How can people not love Vegemite...I guess it's an accquired taste or something....Yes...Please do explain about the margarine? It's ironic (and sad) how one of our great Aussie symbols is no longer Aussie

 

Like vegemite, but prefer marmite.. on bagels under the cream cheese yumm

 

Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it!
I hate it in a - Capital H-A-T-E - kinda way blah only thing i find its good for is numbing my ulcers when i get them on my inner lip...

When i was a kid i LOVED vegemite though... A vegemite and banana sandwich was my favorite thing (ew). I was one of those kids that had a permanent Vegemite smile (you know the ones you get after you take a HUGE bite into a sandwich) but as i got older i started hating the stuff... along with bananas... BAH never try to feed me vegemite OR bananas

I do enjoy nutella though... Enjoy it in a - capital L-O-V-E- kinda way.

*They call me Caramello.... KOAAAALAAA*

 

Yep!

 

Vegemite rocks my socks off!

Bilby, what did margarine do to hurt you?

Its ok, I eat butter just because i trust what people like you say...but what are the real defined problems?

 

It made me depressed and in turn caused me to smoke.

 

How so? Did your body react?

Interestingly I have a slight allergy to dairy products but I get far worse reactions (tiredness, blocked nose, head ache, confusion) after eating margarine than when i do with butter.

 

Hey now,We get vegemite by the qt.

 

yum , love vegemite but in small doses, it is an aqquired taste because its so strong and you have to spread it very thinly. its good on toast with butter or just by the spoon, i had to go get some after reading this LOL ... care to explain about the eskimos?

 

I don't know the details of the bio-chemistry, but looking at the list of ingredients of both is enough to make my mind up.

 

i like vegemite but only if there is butter along with it and the vegemite canNOT cover the whole thing you are eating.

the best is either white toast caked with butter, and then put a skidmark of vegemite across and to the edges. (wholemeal is of course better but doesnt taste as well with vegemite)

the other best is caking liberal amounts of both butter AND vegemite, and squeezing them between some sayo's i cant believe no one has mentioned THE WORMS yet


ps. the whole 'vegemite is nutritious' is pretty bs in my oppinion. despite being healthy per 100g, the amount you spread on a piece of toast leaves you with so few chemicals that its hardly even part of a diet, its the bread and butter youre getting more out of hehe but obviously some is better than none

 

It has high amounts of vitamin B which i believe might be added, crucial for a well functioning brain. But, of course there are far greater foods as far as nutrition goes.

Who likes small amounts of vegemite on butter soaked crumpets?
