Vegemite: banned in the U.S.A.

guys, they're all terrible

no no no...j0hn sez vegemite roolz. case closed.

'zactly.

look you guys let me break it down for you what quality snacking is all about. get some crackers. then get you some nice sharp cheddar cheese. slice the cheese into cracker-sized pieces. spread vegemite on one cracker, place slice of cheese atop vegemite, top with other cracker to form the immortal cheddar cracker vegemite sandwich of destiny. snack and be happy. have a cooper's if you are still thin enough to be drinking beer and have a club soda if you have had to bid a sad farewell to beers.

^^^ Would definitely agree if Vege- was replaced with Mar-.

Although if your waistline can't take beers I'm not sure what it's doing with cheddar.

I am unlikely, after eating a cheddar cheese cracker or two, to feel compelled to drink 8 16-oz bottles filled with cheddar cheese, and indeed unable to resist the temptation to do so, all the while insisting that those around me join in -- my treat!

key difference

I envy your restraint. This may be why I'm getting a tad porky.

man I would really like some cooper's right now

Would drink all this bottles of cheese fwiw.

Love Marmite, not too bothered about Bovril... does Vegemite taste like either?
My jar of Marmite in the cupboard is hardly touched, though, as I can't find any bread nice enough (that isn't sourdough etc) to do it justice.

I'll take a Coopers, hold the cheese

Vegemite stronger than Bovril, better than Marmite :D

Could one compare the flavour of vegemite to Guiness, at all? I'm trying to think how to describe it, when you grow up eating the stuff it just isnt alien at all.

They brought out a Guiness Marmite a while ago iirc

The taste is closer to soy sauce I reckon. Soy sauce + Guinness

mmmm

happy birthday

glad u haven't been banned from the usa

nodding my head like yeah

The new Vegemite won't be on the supermarket shelves until July 5 with the launch being forced on Kraft after the existence of the product became public.

are they worried people will download it from rapidshare or something

This is complete lolz

hb vegrrl!

Vegemite is so utterly normal and ubiquitous that I keep forgetting foreigners don't have it.

Vegemite is so utterly normal and ubiquitous that I keep forgetting foreigners don't have want it.

it was okay iirc but certainly no crunchy peanut butter + honey

I keep a jar at my desk at work, I try to convert people on the regular

Yr next mookie

Also thanks for birthday wishes and for not banning me from the USA <3

xp Did you spread it thick like peanut butter?

in my experience Americans who've tried it and hated it have done it unsupervised and spread it like peanut butter which is in clear violation of the usage codes...just no helping people

yeah mookie how did u spread it

Urg that sounded a little weird out of context lol

I mean you CAN spread it like peanut butter but that's an advanced technique. Newbs and the general public are advised against it unless they absolutely know what they're doing.

I used to suck it off a spoon.

i don't really remember! it was at like a b&b where shit was laid out with no usage codes at all. i was too exhausted from driving on the left to figure it out

hot toast, lotsa butter, scrape of Veg...it should be right on the label for imported jars or at touristy places

xpost when were you in Australia, mookie?

"scrape of Veg"

happy birthday btw

new years 2007

still haunted by hook turns tbh

Nothing goes better with matzot than thinly spread Vegemite

Hook turns are easy, you just go into the left lane when you see a tram line, stop in front of a load of cars, wait for the light on the perpendicular road to turn either red, amber or green depending on which rule book you have read, which junction you're at and what year it is, wait for the traffic behind you to fail to stop and then simply continue through unless the oncoming cars aren't paying attention and plough ahead killing you and your family. I fail to see how this is difficult to understand.

Whereas Vegemite is just a thin layer. THIN.

Hahah yeah thats about right. xpost

oh hook turns ;_; also triple lane roundabout with a tram running through the middle at Royal Parade. Rites of passage/trauma/carnage

xxpost thanks Schlaf <3

I have navigated that roundabout several thousand times and it still scares the living shit out of me. There's a similar one in Essendon next to the Lincolnshire Arms, i don't even

At some point actual people in an actual room have had an actual conversation about that roundabout.

"What's the most logical route for that tram line?"
"Straight through the middle of the roundabout"

madness

Vegemite is made from the ENTRAILS of the victims of that shit fyi

akin to trying to cross the traffic circle surrounding the arc de triomphe on foot without realising there's a tunnel, perhaps

Always was convinced it was a fuck-you from whoever designed it to the city council, or something....seriously those kinds of shenanigans should NOT be allowed in city planning

there's a tunnel under the Arc de Triomph? Good to know

pretty sure the only traffic through that roundabout is out of towners and sadistic parents teaching kids how to drive

isnack2.0 was a bit of a hook turn for Vegemite

whut is that?

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
