It's actually pretty good on toast or crackers.

It is a food spread made from yeast, the yeast is pressure cooked and
reduced until it is black and the consistency of heavy grease. The excess
yeast from the beer brewing industry (megatons of it) has to go somewhere
and in Oz this is what we do with it. Vegemite is quite a good source of B
group vitamins.

Those raised on it enjoy it on sandwiches or often on toast for breakfast.
It can also be used judiciously as a background flavour in soups, stews etc
but be warned it is quite strong and salty. Those not raised on it find it
an acquired taste.

If you haven't acquired the taste yet try it spread THINLY on hot buttered
toast as part of a savoury breakfast. It has no sugar and doesn't sit well
with sweet things. If you get a mouthful of it you will be put off for life
as the epithelium will be stripped off your tongue and deposited in the back
of your throat - or at least it will feel like that.

Some (like my wife) wouldn't eat any other spread. I *was* raised on it and
can take it or leave it.

I just had it for breakfast on lightly toasted soy&linseed. Lots of butter,
with a tinge of the veg'. Perfect.

I like it 'raw' for a salt kick.

It's also good to disguise cat medicines/crushed pills.
Like licking the salt off your hand, cats really go for it.

You don't. I'ts a cheap copy of Marmite.

Yeah, just like Christ being a cheap copy
of John the Baptist.

Time means little; substance is of significance.

I like my Vegemite unadulterated. No butter or margarine! I like it on
toast, on an English muffin or on a crumpet for breakfast. Vegemite
sandwiches and Vegemite and lettuce sandwiches were a staple for lunch
during my schoolyears (and earlier - apparently when I was a toddler I
went for quite a long period refusing to eat anything other than Vegemite
sandwiches and custard g, or so my mum used to tell me). Many people
like Vegemite and cheese sandwiches, but I've always preferred Vegemite
and lettuce.

I've also been known to eat Vegemite spread on Weetbix
(http://www.weetbix.com.au/) as a snack.

One use that I haven't yet tried, but I read here in a previous
discussion on Vegemite was to spread it on toast and top with a poached
egg.

Is it even sold outside of Australia? I have never seen it here in the
US not that I was really looking for it.

I bought some last week in a none-too-chichi town in Pugetopolis. I
think it has a shelf-life of several decades.

who remembers trying it in Australia as a child, and being unable to
bear it. My father, a poor boy who milked, collected eggs and delivered
the produce morning and night 7 days a week, couldn't bear throwing food
out. He ate it without a word, and we all watched with sympathy.

See http://www.australianbeers.com/culture/tucker.htm for a vege discussion

Nope your wrong. British Marmite came before Australian Vegemite. Ergo
Vegemite is the "very, very cheap imitation of what some think Marmite
tastes like". Now check the history sir.

It's a superior version of Marmite. Ever compared the two ?
Oh, and Promite sucks pretty bad too.
