the three people in the US who eat vegemite are weeping this loss greatly

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 04:52 (nineteen years ago)

Except, there isn't one, because it isnt banned.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 04:55 (nineteen years ago)

I give this a week before it gets a SNOPES entry hehe.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 04:55 (nineteen years ago)

channel ten was reporting it as well today, including the doubt over the veracity of the rumour. they said it was definitely true but people could still bring it in to the US because customs have never been required to search bags for it. who knows how credible channel ten is though. i don't care too much because there is no ban here!

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 06:12 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah Ive since read a retuers that said there always has been some kind of import restriction (this isnt the same thing as a sudden new ban of course) but people can bring stuff in anyway. Dunno which is right but I bet there hasnt been some recent full on ban specifically because "it has folate in it".

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 06:23 (nineteen years ago)

folatio joke in 10... 9...

so can you buy this stuff at stores or what? what does it taste like?

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Thursday, 26 October 2006 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

Ass gone bad.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 26 October 2006 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

It tastes like apple butter, but without the apple or butter flavor.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 26 October 2006 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

hmm. love apple butter, not big on ass.

two months pass...

This looks like it's the only Vegemite thread, so I'll pretend it's a CLASSIC OR DUD thread:

CLASSIC.

Aimee introduced me to it, and I've mostly been having it on toast with butter, but my favorite use for it by far is on a cheeseburger, preferably with some sort of spice (habanero Cheddar, for instance, or hot sauce in addition to the Vegemite and cheese). Also good on roasted potatoes, and I've just had a bowl of glass noodles with roast pork, roasted asparagus, Vegemite, and a little demiglace to thin it out.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

You are the only person I know who would ever even think of that.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 January 2007 00:14 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I was reading a blog entry about someone eating noodles with Maggi in Malaysia, and Maggi's in that class of Thick Brown Umami Condiments with Marmite/Vegemite/etc, so I figured what the hell.

Dinner tonight: pimento cheese-stuffed burger with Vegemite.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 January 2007 00:29 (nineteen years ago)

Kraft need to hire you for a new ad campaign man.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 18 January 2007 00:43 (nineteen years ago)

I've never stuff cheese or anything into a hamburger. What is the method?

― do i have to draw you a diaphragm (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 18 January 2007 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

I keep looking for the reply button.

Vegemite is really an ideal burger condiment, because it's compatible with the existing traditional burger condiments -- so unlike teriyaki sauce or something, it gives you an expanded palette rather than an alternate one, something that doesn't happen as often. (Of course ketchup itself is an example of this happening -- in fact, an example of it happening twice.)

Cheese-stuffed burger: I pressed a layer of ground beef on a plate that was thin enough that the resulting burger wouldn't be massive, but thick enough that things wouldn't leak through; spooned some pimento cheese onto it, leaving a wide margin just in case; and then pressed more ground beef on top of it. This burger happens to be rectangular because I'm out of buns and am using a sub roll, but that shouldn't matter.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 January 2007 00:53 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, I wasn't sure if you did that or rolled a meatball, thumbed a hole, pushed the cheese in and pressed the whole thing flat.

― do i have to draw you a diaphragm (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 18 January 2007 00:55 (nineteen years ago)

I wouldn't want to do that with pimento cheese, but I think you could with something more solid -- Cheddar, roasted peppers, etc.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 January 2007 01:01 (nineteen years ago)

two years pass...

"It's the like New Coke, it'll be around forever!"

― "too worldly to compete on /b/" (King Boy Pato), Sunday, 14 June 2009 12:11 (sixteen years ago)

While the exact recipe is a closely-held secret, the new Vegemite experience is, basically, regular vegemite combined with cream cheese.

So it's Vegemite and Cream Cheese. But the exact recipe is a closely-held secret. All we can tell you that it's Vegemite and Cream Cheese.

loll

To determine the level of that affection, Kraft undertook its “How Do You Like Your Vegemite” census and the Vegemite forum.

”They told us they wanted a Vegemite that doesn't require combining with butter and one that's easier to spread,” Mr Talbot said.

Wait, whaaaat. The whole point is the melted butter. I dont want the butter BUILT IN. I tried those vegemite flavoured Kraft Singles and they were complete ass. DONT MESS WITH MY MITE.

Mind you a very-slightly softer formula wouldnt go amiss, I have to admit. But only if NOTHING ELSE CHANGES.

― I'm Rick Wakeman, bitch! (Trayce), Monday, 15 June 2009 01:36 (sixteen years ago)

Being a Snu article, I'm suprised theres no comments and "vote now" on that article, with 675654534232 frothing old aussies saying "HANDS OFF A TRADITION YOU FILTHY SEPTICS"

― I'm Rick Wakeman, bitch! (Trayce), Monday, 15 June 2009 01:37 (sixteen years ago)

― Executive Producer Wolf Dick (haitch), Monday, 15 June 2009 01:54 (sixteen years ago)

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

― Executive Producer Wolf Dick (haitch), Monday, 15 June 2009 01:55 (sixteen years ago)

hahahaha

― comedy cafe at the toxteth hotel (electricsound), Monday, 15 June 2009 01:56 (sixteen years ago)

co-worker just told me while waiting for the coffee to brew that her son eats a vegemite sandwich every day at school, BUT in a bizarre twist he will only eat it if the two slices of bread are spread half with vegemite and half butter, then folded individually in a triangle shape. it's not even a sandwich at all if you ask me!!

kids are fuckin weird sometimes, for serious

― Executive Producer Wolf Dick (haitch), Monday, 15 June 2009 02:08 (sixteen years ago)

If they called this shit Cheesymite and made it clear it is what it is - vegemite flavoured Kraft Cheese Spread - then all well and good. Otherwise blurgh.
