Vegemite may be back but it is now Halal certified Cheers
Do you have to eat it while on bended knees facing the East?

So, talking about vegemite..... I am currently scanning a lot of photos etc to put together to go in a book with my dad's story, one he wrote. A sort of photobook with text if you like, a record for the grandkids and great grandkids one day. Anyway, while sorting things, I came across a little note today from my American penpal to my parents. They must have saved it. It's from about 1991.
I don't think my American friend can be a great fan of vegemite.
She's misguided, of course!

Toast wouldn't be the same without it. A real comfort food-bit of crunchy toast, butter and a smear of vegemite. Nothing like it.

American Kids Eat Vegemite................well, sort of.

What's in this stuff................Ground Up Anchovies....with a Dog Poop topping?
Americans want to know.
What Happened to "Shrimp on the Barbie"?

The middle one is the one you should watch. Those kids in the first video had it on far too thickly. As the aussie girl said, some people expect nutella. Vegemite is savoury. Yep, the smell is more along the lines of teriyaki than sweet. Actually, they have reduced the amount of salt in it.

In the last clip, they didn't get to taste some of the legendary snacks. I bet they would have liked polly waffles.
And as for the vegemite taste test. If I had to eat it in a spoon I would throw up too. It's like offering someone soy sauce or olive oil or tabasco as a drink then asking if they like it.

Do these halfwits (yes I am calling these poor adorable kiddies that) eat an ounce of wasabi at a time? FFS, it's not gravy or ice cream.
The kids that say it smells like "bread" are probably a bit brighter. It is made from yeast.
Jesus christ. You have it with butter. You don't put much on. Then you drink it with tea or something sweet.
I know Americans think "tea is for faggots" but kids shouldn't drink coffee, hell, adults shouldn't drink more than a coffee or two a day.
PS That Asian girl is retarded.
"Tried to make food" LOL! Starbucks! "Non-dairy creamer?"
Hilariously, it is made and owned by Kraft Foods. You did this. You have become destroyer of worlds.
Fuck I am triggered. Black candy is racist! FFS if you like coffee...you don't like Chicos.
WTF is up with that black woman? What CAN she eat? Oh wait she knows what DOG FOOD tastes like.
That's not how you eat Milo. You put half milo and half milk (ice cold) and WAIT. Then add more milk. Eat with a spoon. Disgusting habit and makes you fat as a pig. Massive caloric intake.
That Jewish chick gets it. Smiths Chicken crisps are good. The artificial flavouring is good, it is evil.
They never got to Tim Tams? America would die on the spot of obesity if they found out.

Milo is just a chocolatey sort of drink, except it doesn't dissolve well. I used to pour in a tiny bit of boiling water first, stir, then add cold milk.
Tim Tams. Now there's a thought.
I can't see yanks disliking them.
And potato chips-don't they have flavoured ones in USA? Seems weird if they don't. Mind you I prefer plain myself but a lot of people like salt & vinegar.
If I ever go to USA, guess I take my own vegemite for toast, doesn't seem like a lot of places stock it, only one (exceptionally intelligent) young girl seemed to have heard of it.

Tim Tams and Polly Waffle Doodles all the day? Who would have thought this thread would be this hilarious? And you guys make fun of me when I stick a beer can up a chicken's butt and roast it on the grill. Next time..............grilled chicken wings with Louisiana Hot sauce and soaked in Vegemite and Corona prior to grilling.

You should not laugh!! When my friend came over to Aust decades ago, she went through the Cadbury factory and it was the highlight of her life. She said she had never tasted chocolate so good, ever. We had to send her home with caramello and mint chocolate bars for all the family.
I believe they have Cadbury chocolate in USA now.
Watch out for tim tams, they are about to hit the US market.
I still mourne the loss of polly waffles. And Violet crumbles.

And you truly don't have flavoured potato chips? That's a gap in the market, someone will make a fortune.

And you truly don't have flavoured potato chips? That's a gap in the market, someone will make a fortune. Of course we have flavored Potato Chips. Lays (largest chip manufacturer in the USA) has Barbecue; Cheddar & Sour Cream; Chile Limón; Classic Potato Chips; Deli Style Original Potato Chips; Dill Pickle Flavored Potato Chips; FLAMIN' HOT Flavored Potato Chips; Salt & Vinegar; and the list goes on and on. My favorite is the Original Chip with some Louisiana Red Sauce......maybe dipped in some good Salsa with fresh Cilantro. I can hardly wait for football season (not that wimpy run and flop stuff that you guys play, but "Smash Mouth" football)..............American style. OH..............BTW - Cadbury chocolate is much different than Vegemite. Sort of like comparing Ghirardelli Chocolate to Cow Patties.

I needed a good laugh, this thread is hilarious! I recall, when the Japanese students came and stayed with us, and we gave them a taste of vegemite, they pulled a face, and said "It is poison!" Goodness gracious! Then I gave them a try of MUD cake. And my then 17 yr old daughter said quickly, "Oh mum, explain it's chocoloate, they are looking up mud and soil in the dictionary!"
But then again, I have heard it said, 'tofu'....someone asks, I think it was on the Paul Hogan special "Is that Japanese for rubber?" Very funny, but I do like tofu! And Milo is something I can give a miss, crispy floaty chocolate stuff that stays on top of the milk. As for Tim Tams, I prefer chocolate Teddy Bears, you bite off one ear, and one foot, then use it as a straw in port.
I like my vegemite with loads of butter on toast, dabbed on like spots, sometimes I do stripes.
Extraordinary culinary.
