A yeast-based paste for breakfast? What's up with Kevin Rudd and his jar of this stuff? And is it true Aussies hate peanut butter?  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

Nope I love peanut butter. Also love my vegemite...it is an aquired taste though  ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Firstly, no, Aussies don't hate Peanut butter. Vegemite is to Aussies what Marmite is to the British. Both are aquired tastes and generally you either love them or hate them. Vegemite is a strong brown salty paste, generally spread on bread or toast, often and some would say it goes well with cheese. . | |||

" strong brown salty paste " Could it be made from Anchovies?

Relieved to hear about my beloved peanut butter. There's an old wives' tale floating about here in the States that we shipped peanut butter to Australia during WWII and you guys were baffled by what it was supposed to be used for, and decided it must be boot grease!

Considering peanuts have been grown in Aust since before 1900, that is surprising. I wasn't around of course but I am pretty sure Peanut butter was available during the war here. I'll check. Edit Can find plenty of peanut production which increased greatly in the 40's and onwards but no ref to peanut butter. Anyway, I don't like the stuff anyway. . | |||

When I was a kid it was known as peanut paste, both here and in the UK. There's some speculation that Kraft (US company) started marketing peanut butter and over time the other companies changed the name of their products to 'peanut butter'. FWIW, I'm not a great fan of Vegemite, as 500N said, it's a love it or hate kind of thing. | |||

Bakes, To say that Vegemite is an aquired tast is a grossly mistated statement!!! When I was there hunting Sambar with Norm he had me try it. For me it was the nastiest tasting stuff I had ever tried. I think it would be easier to aquire a tast for a dog turd than that stuff!!! Hawkeye | |||

Vegemite is all the left over veges from the market, placed into a big drum, left to ferment and then boiled until reduced to a tar like substance, salt added, bottled, then flogged to folk who think they can play rugby and lack taste buds.  | |||

Actually its the perfect Rugby food. Its made from the waste yeast from brewing.  ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Then I suggest you don't eat Processed cheese, Hot dogs or any of the processed meats from the supermarket !!! LOL. The only difference with the above description is they don't let them ferment but just compress them to shape. . | |||

Vegemite is a test of manliness, if your tastebuds can't handle it , it says something about you as a man.........He He. Yes , i love my Vegemite. Vegemite is a rite of passage of every Aussie youngster. It should be part of the citizenship test for Oz. Isn't it amazing tho what market promotion can do for a waste byproduct from another process. -Vegemite from brewing yeast -fluoride in toothpaste from aluminium smelting byproduct. The more the medical profession tells us to stay out of the sun , the more we will need to get used to eating things like vegemite which is a good source of vitamin D, along with other vitamins. see............. vegemite makes up for the sun your body is missing all dolled up out hunting in your camo gear.........man-up & get used to it.......its good for you | |||

the only change to Bakes method is "Aww its not that bad. Bit of toast, lashings of butter and vegemite spread on THINLY." Definitely lashing of butter, hopefully well melted on the hot toast. That way you will actualy get to like it !!! LOL . | |||

I made my wife try Marmite in Zambia ( I had read of its virtues and, um, 'unique' taste). She still dry heaves at the mere mention of it.

The trick is to spread it very lightly on your toast, mixed with lots of butter!!! When I say lightly I mean 'Great Depression lightly'!!! A day spent in the bush is a day added to your life Hunt Australia - Website Hunt Australia - Facebook Hunt Australia - TV | |||

We may be the only hunting lodge in Alaska that serves it but it is great stuff on toast.

Having just watched the episode of 'Flying Wild Alaska' a couple of weeks ago where they were eating 'stink flipper' it's little wonder you think Vegemite is great on toast. I was just very grateful there's no such thing as 'smellivision', my stomach was very delicate while I watched.. | |||

OK I like anchovies, I had then on my Pizza yesterday. I have eaten Vegamite and Maramite, in Africa on toast, and on "crackers", and I liked it. If you do not like it, well OK, some people do not like green beans, Brussle sprouts, or Scotch. My thoughts are if you do not like it do not eat/drink it... However, I fail to see how Vegemite could be considered a "Terrorist Tool"...??? DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Mate, it's the TSA, didn't you know they have daily meetings and decide what is to be classed as a Terrorist Tool and what is not. Remember that even tap water in a bottle was classed as a Terrorist Tool at one stage. . | |||

Bread , toasted or plain, is just a vehicle to carry butter & toppings/spreads. Like all vehicles they need to be well loaded to be efficient ......... Real men eat Vegemite straight from the jar ,by the spoonful, ditto peanut butter, don't worry about the indigestion after effect, that's what QuickEze is for ....... | |||

Cheese and vegemite sandwhichs are the go , and you can add a spoon of vegemite to soups and stews and casseroles to enhance the flavour. Generations of Aussie and Kiwi kids grew up on the stuff, its part of our Rite of Passage in the world. ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

I agree: lots of butter and a very thin coating of Vegemite, especially if it is your first time. The truth is, I love the stuff! I visited Oz for about a month in 2000 and I did not have the guts to try a "Vegemite sandwich" while I was there because I did not want to get laughed at by a bunch of Australians when I gagged on the stuff(I had been warned). But at the airport as I departed I had a few Austrailian dollere to burn so I bought two jars. I tried it when I got home and have been hooked ever since. It is hard to find at times, but worth the trouble. I even have my 2 year old daughter hooked on the stuff now. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Good on you. One problem is Americans are raised eating bland tasteless food such as McDondalds, so an intense flavour rich food such as vegemite is overpowering for many. Edited: Damn, just checked the peanut paste jar and it is now called "Peanut butter".  I like Promite better than vegemite too. | |||

Vegemite is better for you than a deep fried mars bar. We would still have Elvis if he used Vegemite instead of all that deep fried peanut butter Regards, Bob. | |||

Marmite, worse than vegemite, made from cow hooves, cow horns and old pig trotters, boiled until reduced to black tar like substance, salt added and bottled. It is enough to give any sane person the heaves and cause any newly married woman difficulties in conceiving. Ditto that Oxo s#*t.  | |||
