  • I interview 16 random Australians to find out if the Vegemite stereotypes apply to the average Australian.

    I think for most Australians it’s a comfort food cause it’s usually given to you very young, when my children were bubs and just starting to eat food, I would often give them a little bit of toast with a thin smear of vegemite on it, so it’s one of their earliest food memories. I think this is quite common here

    Hi. I'm from Poland. In Europe we have something called Maggi. Originally it was made from herbs, but now it's made from yeast extract like your Vegemite, but it comes in liquidised form. It's mainly used as soup seasoning but you can also sprinkle it on bread and spread some butter. I used to eat that as a kid :-)

    Yes Josh, Vegemite is very special and for me it’s the best ! If you are in Brazil, you can find a very similar yeast extract product with the name of Cenovit ! Give a try and you will be surprise about the excellent taste of Cenovit. And since now vou can easier get a yeast extract in Brazil, São Paulo, you can abuse and use it in your recipes ... beside using it on a buttery toast ! Enjoy the new Cenovit.

  • @9Justo
    @9Justo Před 3 lety

    Its a beautiful delicacy. Butter the toast, spread the vegemite not too thick or thin - there should be marbelling, then take a small nob of butter or margarine on the end of the butter knife and spread that over the middle of the vegemite to seal it over locking in the flavour and toning down the salty bitterness at the same time.

Or you can do triple cheese, put another cheese on one toast, stick together, put back in grill or oven, cut in half, should be melted cheese slightly coming out over the line of the black gold.

    Vegemite on Toast (with butter), is the Aussie version of Soy Sauce on Sushi.
    As long as you understand what and why you are putting it in your mouth, you're fine.
    I mean, it's not like you squirt soy sauce into your mouth either is it.
    And taking the Sushi analogy a step further - wasabi on sushi is nice too - in moderation
