Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:14 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't understand this vegemite love

marmite+vogels toast+tons of butter+ dipped in milky milo= HAPPINESS

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:15 (sixteen years ago) link

maybe if you cry directly into your vegemite it will taste better.

estela, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:15 (sixteen years ago) link

ALTHO YOU BLASPHEMERS PROBABLY LIKE STUPID GAY BOURNVITA MORE THAN MILO

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:15 (sixteen years ago) link

my mum used to tell me that i should shut up and eat vegemite, since they 'taste the same'.... but she HATED marmite. fucking crazy woman.

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:16 (sixteen years ago) link

ok so now i know why i really love marmite.

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link

milo is obviously amazing.

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link

i used to think akta vite was ok but it's actually gross

electricsound, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Vegemite and butter on like shitty toasted turkish bread = tha best.

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link

waht is akta vite?

ok wilter we still friends since you like milo <3 <3 <3

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link

i mean maybe if you cry directly into your marmite it will taste better, vegemite couldn't taste any better than it does already.

estela, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link

and milo is good so you have to <3<3<3 me too.

estela, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:19 (sixteen years ago) link

my new fave thing: milo and vita 'original creamy' soy milk A++++++

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:21 (sixteen years ago) link

i know!! i found this out when i was trying to explain to jordan what is milo

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Also there is Canadian milo it sounds awful tho:

Nestle has now introduced a Canadian version of Milo. It is made in Canada. It dissolves rapidly like Quik, probably due to market expectations, but still retains the Malt flavour. It is also sweeter than other varieties.

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:25 (sixteen years ago) link

quik is for children ffs.

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:26 (sixteen years ago) link

akta vite is bad milo competitor that is full of folate apparently

electricsound, Monday, 31 March 2008 01:30 (sixteen years ago) link

milo's great

no vote for NEVER HAD MARMITE NEVER HAD VEGEMITE ?? consider this a vote for milo then

jergïns, Monday, 31 March 2008 02:37 (sixteen years ago) link

if you've never had either then just vote MARMITE OKAY

it makes great lube

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:21 (sixteen years ago) link

don't knock it till you've tried it, tombot

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:22 (sixteen years ago) link

gross.

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:22 (sixteen years ago) link

marmite maybe.

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:23 (sixteen years ago) link

OMG sex ed when i was 14: teacher told us a story about a teenage couple using vicks' vaporub as lube..... YAOOOOOOOW

Rubyredd, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I wonder if that was on the curriculum: "warn the students of the discomforts of rubbing vaporub on their genitals".

wilter, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:35 (sixteen years ago) link

which side are you from tombot, the inside?

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 31 March 2008 03:42 (sixteen years ago) link

My bassist once told the story of his masturbation experiences with ICY/HOT to the recording engineer when we were doing some songs and it definitely was a WTFTMI moment.

libcrypt, Monday, 31 March 2008 05:29 (sixteen years ago) link

too much incandescence

estela, Monday, 31 March 2008 06:15 (sixteen years ago) link

i would just like to point out that grointment has been otm throughout this thread

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

grointment.

wilter, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:06 (sixteen years ago) link

out of loyalty to the board, affection for both the australian and the new zealander members, and because i lack personal experience with both vegemite and marmite, i voted twice, one time for each.

lxy, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:18 (sixteen years ago) link

my aunt told a girl at her school that marmite was good for your skin and the next day the girl complained it had got all over her pillowcase. she was an olden days drongo.

estela, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:24 (sixteen years ago) link

lol that's ridiculous.

vegemite on toast with a fried egg is good hungover food fyi.

wilter, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link

i am going to host a "which is better vegemite or marmite" tasting party (provided i can figure out where to buy them) when remy's here. won't that be fun?

lxy, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link

to be brutally honest, i think it will be a bad times party.

wilter, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link

vegemite is hangover miracle food.

lxy, i will send you some if you want, one of each.

estela, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link

i think we will have enough to drink that it will be a good times party in the end, but thank you for the warning, wilter.

thanks, estela, i'll let you know. first i will look around to see if i can find some here. say, did you ever try the bugles?

lxy, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:37 (sixteen years ago) link

lol no, when i went to order them they were waiting for a shipment to arrive, then they moved premises and kept sending out funny frazzled email bulletins about how everything would be on track soon so i just left it, but i'll try again.

i'm glad but not surprised you love them, they are very you.

estela, Friday, 26 February 2010 11:22 (fourteen years ago) link

i ate some marmite recently, i was in wellington and i thought with <3 of you, justin3, and decided i would give it a fair go in the spirit of that deep and abiding <3, but sadly it tasted like puke.

estela, Friday, 26 February 2010 11:44 (fourteen years ago) link

it was actually worse than i remembered.

estela, Friday, 26 February 2010 11:45 (fourteen years ago) link

impossible as that seems.

estela, Friday, 26 February 2010 11:46 (fourteen years ago) link

you snapped the plate with the power of your mind, didn't you?

lxy, Friday, 26 February 2010 15:38 (fourteen years ago) link

well i commend you for at least trying, my dearest estela.

ok so FOR REAL i am bringing back nz lollies in may and FOR REAL i am actually sending them out to lxy and jergins and tza this time.

Stupid poll results. Some of the worst poll results I've ever seen. Hate this place

I looked into this and these results are in fact correct

I got really mad the other day because Anne Reardon did a bit on Vegemite and I usually love her stuff but she hates Vegemite and she ragged on it for a whole episode and said no one likes it unless theyre brought up with it from childhood, then proceeded to show a bunch of foreigners trying it straight from a fucking spoon. NO.

I don't hate the uncultured, I just pity them

H.P, Tuesday, 5 March 2024 22:11 (one month ago) link

But yeah Trayce, it's pretty egregious how non-vegemiter's go about trying Vegemite. Hate those "eating a spoon of vegemite" sort of vids

You're all wrong, the correct answer is peanut butter

An (American) friend used to insist that vegemite and marmite were both just solid soy sauce, I once made the mistake of trying to argue about this, then swore not to ever engage in any marmite or vegemite discussions ever again.

This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 5 March 2024 23:42 (one month ago) link

What you should have taken from that experience is not to argue with an American again

H.P, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:00 (one month ago) link

Reminds me of another argument I had with another American friend when we went to a restaurant and he asked for "Worshestershire" sauce and I did an involuntary laugh. NB: I am from Worcester.

This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:05 (one month ago) link

School me, I've grown up saying "wis-ter-sher" sauce with the accent on the "Wis". I think I've got the syllables right? but have a feeling the accent is off

H.P, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:09 (one month ago) link

I know it says "Worcestershire" on the label but I've only heard it called "Worcester sauce" IRL, which is /ˈwʊstər/ "WOOS-ter"

This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:12 (one month ago) link

Anyway no judgement, it is an annoying spelling, but he was annoyed at me for laughing and then told me that I was the one pronouncing it incorrectly.

This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:13 (one month ago) link

Wait till you hear how I used to pronounced Leicester in primary school

H.P, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 00:19 (one month ago) link

Funny story though! Looking forward to smuggly correcting my families pronunciation next steak night. Thanks for the tip

I have never tried Vegemite. It is quite lacking in aesthetic appeal.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 01:04 (one month ago) link

I have never tried vegemite, it is quite lacking in availability over here - I'm sure you can get it if you really want. I'd be interested to compare it to marmite, which I neither love nor hate.

I presume pronouncing it like 'yosemite' is a hoary old gag.

gene besserit (ledge), Wednesday, 6 March 2024 09:36 (one month ago) link

They did have a big push on Vegemite in the UK maybe 30 years ago? It never really took because all right thinking Britishes said, no thanks, we'll stick with Marmite, it's much nicer.

Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 09:52 (one month ago) link

yes that would probably be about right - my mum got some and that was our exact reaction to it

+1 for "Worcester sauce", no "shire". label be damned. I worked in the Lea & Perrins factory as a temp in the 90s, the smell put me off the stuff for a couple of years

Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 6 March 2024 09:57 (one month ago) link

IIRC from my one trip to the UK in the 90s, Marmite is... sweeter? Like its still savoury but not as briskly savoury as Vegemite is.
