Eating vegemite in Australia
Itchy Feet Team | Sep 03, 2008 | Comments 1
Speak to any Aussie and they will tell you that they were bought up on vegemite. It is a staple of every true blue Aussie’s diet. Vegemite on toast, vegemite sandwiches even vegemite broth for those who don’t feel so well.
If you don’t try vegemite while you are down under you never will. If you do, you will be able to recount your experience for years to come. So how can one eat something that is made primarily out of the waste of beer (this is not the exact recipe). There is a secret and it is very simple.
Spread it thin!
Thin means so light that you can see the bread and butter through the vegemite. It is alright if it is patchy. Just remember the key is thin.

“If you don’t try vegemite while you are down under you never will”? I disagree…
I have not yet been to Australia but I have to say I am an english Vegemite-addict!
At first I bought it accidentally (in Somerfields) because I thought it was a type of Marmite. But I sooned realised it wasn’t. And while you might want to start off “spreading thinly” I find 50% marge to 50% vegemite works for me
Try it!
