Vegemite: banned in the U.S.A.

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.

Dinner tonight: pimento cheese-stuffed burger with Vegemite.

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.

we know you love vegemite and we totally respect that and we won't change your Vegemite, it's a national icon 8==m=D~

but here try this its srsly smoother and better

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

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.

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"

otm re melted butter Trayce. For a while I was going no butter, just 'mite. I was such a fool

this is str8 bullshit and i look forward to its complete failure

it mite go well in cheesymite scroll bullshit tho

mmmm

are u frontin on cheesymite scrolls wilter?? good god

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

hahahaha

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

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.

lolstralians

;__;

H i do <3 the scrolls!

sometimes they're just not vegemitey enuff tho.

trayce i reckon bakers delight might have a few words to say on your naming plan there

Yeah well they can shove it.

Creamymite then.

it might indeed

Ewww.

we got some vegemite from family friends in australia.

should i try this shit or is it super duper grossville?

there is only one way to find out...rub it all over a brown banana and scarf it.

i would hate to ruin the shock surprise

I think it is really delicious & I eat it lots, but most people's first exposure to it results in screams of "gaaah what the fuck"

basically if you're not the sort of eater who on tasting something weird goes "people like this? I wonder if I ate more if I'd start to like it too" then you should give it a pass

pro tip: the more you slather onto a piece of bread the better it tastes

see now if you are hoping to enjoy it I would say "start with a very thin coating" but I think jjjusten, not to cast aspersions, does not have the noblest of intentions here

Agreed. Also, works better on toast than bread. Grainy bread is better than white, with a touch of melting butter, a dabbed spread of vegemite. No, fuck it, white is great too.

pro tip: if i like you and give you a "pro tip", i am probably trying to ruin your day for my own amusement

lord forgive me
the vegemite got me not knowin' how to act

i did a taste test on this + other weirdo aussie/NZ/britisher spreads here somewhere but i cant remember the thread title. i also had my poor unfortunate dog undergo the same trials.
