As a Briton I lived 28 years in Australia and have vegemite always in the fridge, but it amazes me the passion Aussies overseas seem to have have for the yeast extract (as well as for tam-tams.)

It's the age old problem of 'you always want what you can't have.' I see the same thing happen with Americans and Peanut Butter products.

I don't think it's an Aussie o/s thing, but rather an Aussies in general thing. I have never been in an Australian household that does not have Vegemite in the pantry, whether their home is in Australia, or outside.

My 5 year old Aussie (not to mention her father :roll:

) would have a cadenza if our pantry is ever without Vegemite and peanut butter. They are her staple sandwich toppings, so I try to oblige. (Lucky for me, she is yet to learn the difference between Vegemite, Marmite & Bovril, so at least I can get subs from Sth Africa, U.K or Aus).

I used to give my daughter marmite as vegemite has preservatives- BUT the vegemite tubes are easy to transport
I actually just had some toast with vegemite- i have not been feeling well and this seems okay to eat

Oh and it is Tim Tams not Tam tams LOLOLOL

My husband and I are travelling around the world in 10 short weeks and one of the first things we have planned on taking is the vegemite. No Aussie can live without it. Even when we went to Canada last year, our Canadian mates bought us some to make us feel at home. It cost them 9CAD for a tiny jar!!! LOL So, when we make our way to South America via Santiago, we will be packing the Vegemite too.

OK, after all this raving I need to find out for myself what is so great about the stuff. Just ordered a couple jars from Amazon (US) and looking forward to giving it the taste test.

Don't spread it like peanut butter - a thin layer on hot toast or crackers is the best way to try it, enjoy

We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea.
Our mummies say we're growing stronger
Every single week,
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek

Like Steph said spread it thinly!!! it is not like peanut butter or nutella.

Is it also useful as a soup base or for making sauces? (anticipation building)

by **Tombi** on Mon Apr 19, 2010 1:43 pm

A tsp or so dissolved in boiling water is a great substitute for meat stock (msg free) and great to add to bolognaise sauce, casseroles and soups.

Passport, I made a fabulous butternut pumpkin and chickpea soup last week, using about 2 tablespoons of vegemite as the "stock" base.
The flavour was just wonderful

The only reason I did this was because I was scraping out the last of the 1.5kg tub that was about 9 months old and I have quite a few tubes in the cupboard.
If you are in Oz, then this is an economical and tasty soup base, but if you have to pay Canadian or US prices, then just use a stock-cube!

My boys eat vegemite toast everyday (it is also good with some avocado). If I have any unopened tubes when we are about to leave, I'll post here!

I always thought that us NZers preferred vegemite and australians marmite. Have I been misled by clever marketing all these years?
Anyway, I know a place in Santiago says they just started stocking it. I think I might sell this information to the highest bidder!

How much are they selling it for? To see if it's worth making you an offer, meanie........

Don't know but if they see this forum they´ll probably charge for the rights to your house and your firstborn

And some of you will probably consider it ...
