Vegemite: banned in the U.S.A.

That shit sounds like it would melt your face off

Does anyone use it? Like, to eat?

don't want to know about yr aged yeast tbh

Hahaha

Its not my birthday anymore but now I am "extra old" lololol

I have never heard of Our Mite before, this is monumentally stupid

even more so than Dick Smith's usurper Aussiemite

xp I haven't tried it yet no. I'll buy a jar, have it for breakfast tomorrow and report back.

Be careful dude

xxpost oh Dick Smith, god I remember all that bullshit...is the Easter Bilby stil a thing too?

Easter bilby very much a thing... need to choose my words carefully as my dad was one of the ringleaders in its establishment

Shut up, really?

I got given an Easter Bilby for Easter at uni one year...thought they were a weird crackpot notion until then, and I got such a kick out of it I don't think I ever actually ate it.

who wouldn't want some of The Electronic Dick's breakfast spread, I ask you

*raises hand*

But I would like to fly his helicopter (not a metaphor)

Shut up, really?

Yeah--don't know if you're of an age to remember the Curiosity Show, but my dad was one of the two fellas on that, and the Easter Bilby was one of his more recent unlikley projects

!!!

JESUS

srsly if my dad were THAT COOL i wouldn't be keeping it under my hat for 10 yrs

i had a thing to say about dick cheese but fuck it, boring suddenly

As long as it wasn't in reference to my dad...

Yeah--don't know if you're of an age to remember the Curiosity Show, but my dad was one of the two fellas on that,

OK holy crap what the heck!? Thats AWESOME!

I used to always joke that I knew the show had just been on cos I'd walk into the kitchen to find my brother standing over a fire in the sink, going "well that didn't work".

Your dad was awesome goatee beard dude! I'm sorry this is really blowing my mind.

Thanks to this thread I now have the Curiosity Show theme stuck in my head.

SHOW

That's the one!

Surreal moment in our house was the night we were watching the Comedy Company and they did a send-up of it and Glenn Robins was being my dad.

brilliant

OK holy shit thats nirvana right there that is. LOL.

James hang on where in mongrel land are you and have you been to a FAP? I did wonder.

and do you pack maroon skivvies

Ha! No maroon skivvies--I'm in Adelaide.

Not that the 2 are mutually exclusive

xp: no, this will melt your face off:

James! Curiosity Show owned my after-school watching!

Wow, this is a wonderful development! god bless the easter bilby!!

I was scrolling through this thread and saw "vegemite tampons" in a post; I am not going back to verify if that's actually what I read or not

Rest assured that there is a comma between the two, Dan.

They make Marmite sausages, so cylindrical items flavoured with vegetable extract are not unheard of.

somehow a period seems more appropriate

The Marmite Vaseline is an April Fool's, but Marmite Chocolate is all too real.

Very peculiar--they're not kidding!

Heck if chilli choc can exist, i guess so can that. I wonder what it tastes like.

something not unlike "ass paste" is my guess

I wonder if NotEnough survived his breakfast test with premium Extra Old marmite...

chili chocolate is amazing

fuck all of you marmite haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

marmite forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marmite tries to hard.

xp I didn't go to the shops last night, I had a haircut instead (less tasty on toast, I'm sure) so no marmite xo report today. I promise i'll be on it tonight tho.

Marmite XO was a disappointment, tbh. I had some one slice of toast with XO and one with regular marmite, spreading it equally thinly/thickly on each, and I had a cup of strong coffee to cleanse the palette after each bite (also to wake me up). I would describe XO the way that people who don't like regular Marmite describe it, sort of leathery and cloying; I guess that's the super-yeast. I'm not sure its particularly pleasant, but that might be just me not being used to it. I'll give it another go tomorrow and see what happens.

I'm sure it tastes like melted vinyl...I mean, I'm sure aged Vegemite would taste equally as horrid.

"hey we have this product with a very strong acquired taste...I know, let's make it so strong it becomes an industrial adhesive!!!!"

I have never tasted the stuff, but based on what I know by reading (your posts) I think I would probably like the stuff. I hate sweets and really go for the savory. I will go to the food imported store and bravely purchase a jar of Vegemite and get some crackers, thus will probably gain 10 lbs in a 48 hour period, but it's worth it, (right?????) for the whole introduction of Vegemite to the USA thing.

Waht, I have Vegemite on Vita-Weat all the time, not fattening at all.

golden rule: USE IT SPARINGLY

A light smear with a little butter on a cracker you will be fine

Do not spread that shit like peanut butter or it will be your downfall!!!
