I have discovered that avocado and vegemite work well together.

Interesting. No, wait, the other thing: tedious. (Trayce), Tuesday, 15 March 2016 02:17 (eight years ago) link

seven years pass...

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 looked into you and realised where you got your name from (stinky opinions)

Look at the map above: Vegemite wins on land conquered.

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

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.

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

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.

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"

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.

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

*They're all gonna laugh at me for calling it "rooster sauce" with a lisp*

"Sorry, did you say Lye-kes-ter Square?"

American, proudly: "No, I said Lye-cess-ter Square!"

Did I mention that he was called Chandler?

Is there a thread for making fun of American pronunciations? I've got a gotta posts I could put in there

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

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.

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.
