Vegemite on toast
I've never tried vegemite, but I'm very curious to try it
The trick, if you ever do, is to ignore the way Aussies have it. It really is an acquired taste, and Aussies lather it on thick. But when first starting out, the best way to do it is to spread a large amount of butter (or margarine) on toast, and then over the top of that spread a very thin coating of Vegemite.
yeah, I heard you're supposed to put it on thin. I didn't know about the butter, though. thanks for the tip!
Buy a jar and go to town. (Equivalently, though I've just made every Brit and Aussie wish my death, go with Marmite.)
You don't have to worry about wasting it. If you don't like it, it's very good wood filler as well. (Indeed for my purposes that's its prime usage.)
I’m a fan of Marmite. It is so divisive that it stands in linguistically for divisive tastes: “it’s a bit Marmite.” So I get it.
ooh! I do crafting occasionally! I might look into its uses to see if I could apply it artistically.
I use miso these days. It's a similar salty umami flavour to Vegemite. Miso and butter on toast is tasty.
