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

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

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 :D

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! :D

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 ...

I'm enjoying the Vegemite I received in the mail a couple weeks ago. I find it especially delicious under a layer of
Veganaise (eggless mayo) available at health food stores here in the States.

It's us South Africans that love Marmite! I'll sell my husband and both my children for info on a regular supply of Marmite and Weetbix!
