vegemite

[dudeness]

I was just sitting down having some breakfast ( after a nightshift) which consists of a coffee and toast with vegemite. Whilst enjoying my toast I wondered if many other DUers have been introduced to the exquiste taste of one the worlds richest known sources of vitamin B. I would be interested to hear.

3. My daughter loves the stuff

She was thrilled when a store in her area started to carry it and she no longer had to have it shipped in! I can eat it but then, I can drink down plain brewers yeast with water to get a hit of Bs!

[dudeness]

5. your daughter has fine taste..

:)

[havocmom]

7. Yeah, she loves most things Aussie.

She would post this herself, but she is making a long drive home after going to LA to see Paul Kelly, again...

[dudeness]

8. Really!!

Paul kelly ..outstanding..I could pass on some other names of aussie bands she might enjoy..

[havocmom]

16. Russle Crowe commented on her Victoria Bitters hat

last fall in Chicago! Yeah, PM me with any suggestions, but my guess is she probably knows most of the bands you would mention. She has been down under 3 times and really loves it there. I believe she visits a couple of chat rooms where many Aussies hang out.

She is an evilDUer too but has only posted a couple of times.

I really enjoy the Paul Kelly CDs she has bought. Quite a talented man. Excellant poet. Lovely stuff, really lovely from the gut stuff. Love the song where he is telling child about the first time he met the child's mother. Such a great love song.

Have you ever heard "Brother"? We saw them years ago at a Celtic Festival in AZ. Have a CD and I believe she got another one. Love the bagpipes with the rock & roll. Really works!

[dudeness]

19. a VB hat!! awesome..

no i havent heard of brother..but will look them up..I would presume she would know most good oz bands..and may have difficulty getting a hold of lesser knowns cds etc..

[havocmom]

22. VB hat, Magpie hat, AU Footie on the cable

oh yeah, all that stuff. Don't know if Brother is still recording. There was a split and no Brother for a bit. But I heard they had the band back together. :shrug: They are worth a listen.

There is an import place in LA I think she gets a catalog from and orders from once in a while. Sends me some Tim Tams (sp?) when she gets some.

She sometimes listens to OZ radio on the 'puter. I rather like most of the music too when I would be at her place. She sent me some TOFG stuff and it is pretty darned good. I like the Aussie folk music, well, I guess they call it counrty, but it is NOT like American Counrty music.

I have post cards from Geelong (and a few other places she visited) on the fridge. Pretty country nice cities from the looks of them.

She really loved the Ocean Drive and the fact that nobody got uptight when her friend told her she could go shopping barefoot. Snet a lot of great photos of the coast.

9. Vegemite: Shit. Marmite: THE shit.

I love Marmite. Give me some Marmite spread thinly on a piece of buttered, toasted bread, and I'm in heaven.

A friend of mine brought back some Vegemite from Australia (before you could get Marmite in the US), thinking it was the same thing and that I'd like it. NO WAY. The stuff was vile. Marmite all the way, baby!

[dudeness]

11. I have been down the marmite track..flash

and i never want to go back...

[FlashHarry]

23. Horror upon horrors! Why on earth would you say that?

Marmite is God's butter!

[Kellanved]

10. Depends

I don't like Marmite at all - Vegamite is probably similar.

However, I love Vitam-R, the local organic equivalent.

[dudeness]

Hmmm

Vitam-r.is it available only locally to you?

[Kellanved]

17. No

I've seen it in the UK and the Netherlands (and Germany) - it is probably a global brand; I just wrote "local", because neither marmite nor vegemite is available at normal stores here.


Edit: Vitam is an Aussie company.
http://www.vitam.com.au

Edit: On the Aussie page they're listing Vitam-R as a "new product". Yet I grew up with it - strange...

[dudeness]

13. Hmmm

Vitam-r.is it available only locally to you?

[Teddy_Salad]

14. Similar....but not the same taste at all

I actually don't like Marmite or Promite.
Vegemite is by far the best tasting. :P

[Teddy_Salad]

12. Love it! Love it!! Love it!!!

Being an Aussie, I grew up on the stuff and I absolutely love it!

Vegemite on warm toast.....YUMMY!!!

Americans have no idea what they are missing out on!
Vegemite is the reason all us Aussies are so damn good lookin', ya know?

:evilgrin:

[dudeness]

15. no argument here teddy..

you live in the US?

[Teddy_Salad]

18. Uhhuuuhhhhhhhhh

I know a place in Arkansas where I get my vegemite from.

I currently have a 2.5kg bucket of the stuff.
That should last me a while, huh? :P

[dudeness]

20. 2.5kg bucket!!

what a collectors item...would last me ..maybe a month..lol

[Teddy_Salad]

21. It's lasted me about three months so far

It's a lot of vegemite. :)

[dbt]

33. More proof that Arkansas IS the center of the Universe!

We are currently perfecting the formula for making diesel fuel out of vegemite. There is also a Wormhole that connects Eudora and Alice Springs. Travel time is under three seconds.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

:evilgrin:
dbt

24. My mate Marmite :-)

Vegemite just can't touch the stuff!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. Is this an obscure Men at Work reference thread?

[Guy_Montag]

26. Marmite - yum yum!!

I've never tried Vegemite, but I guess it's much the same.

[slutticus]

27. OK. I have to ask

...please forgive my ignorance....but what the hell is Vegemite?

[GOPisEvil]

28. It's a yeast extract - a by-product of brewing beer.

It's a spread for sandwiches.

[slutticus]

29. Did you say beer?

:beer:

[Bowline]

30. I like it on toast, with a pint of Guinness. (eom)

[GOPisEvil]

31. Damn...isn't that yeast overload?

[Bowline]

32. Pretty much.

But hey, it IS Guinness, after all.

[Ediacara]

34. mm.... salted yeast poop?

I wouldn't describe that as "exquisite" exactly....
