I think for most Australians it’s a comfort food cause it’s usually given to you very young, when my children were bubs and just starting to eat food, I would often give them a little bit of toast with a thin smear of vegemite on it, so it’s one of their earliest food memories. I think this is quite common here
I’m Italian from Michigan, USA & I go through a jar about every three months. Nobody else I know eats it, but I can’t get enough of it! #vegemite #vegeright
I am brazilian, live in Brazil, and I also like it. In fact I have just eaten some eith buttered toast. Like you, I am the only ine to eat it at home. But I am used to eating brewer's yeast, so maybe that’s why I like it.
Amen. I *loooovvvveee* the stuff. Only the difficulty in getting it, and then affording it when it shows - as well as now ending to avoid gluten - makes it a rare delicacy!
I’m Malaysian and was introduced to Marmite from young by my mom so I’ve acquired the taste for salty yeast extract. I imagine I’d go for Vegemite too!
I grew up in New Zealand (early 80's) and we ate Vegemite, we also ate Marmite. When moving to Australia it never phased us we thought everyone ate it... Apparently not.
I've tested Vegemite out on Korean friends (the right way - on toast with butter, not on a spoon) and they say it tastes like soybean paste. So potential win! It's my comfort food, it's all I want when I'm sick or super tired.
Looks can deceive you, I’m in America and omg I put vegemite on all my toast! The only thing though is that you can only put a LITTLE BIT of vegemite. But it does taste really good
Im from the United States. I was curious and bought it on Amazon and it’s super good. It’s very salty, savory, and bitter, but In a good way. The best way i tried it was buttered toast with the the Vegemite spread as thinly as possible. Any more and it’s too salty/overpowering.
Hi. I'm from Poland. In Europe we have something called Maggi. Originally it was made from herbs, but now it's made from yeast extract like your Vegemite, but it comes in liquidised form. It's mainly used as soup seasoning but you can also sprinkle it on bread and spread some butter. I used to eat that as a kid :-)
Tried it for the first time today. Tried it with toast. I can eat this for breakfast everyday. I eat three pieces of bread with it. The first one, didn't enjoy it. The second one, it's getting there. The third one, it's actually good.
Australia and NZ usually like it. Half Italian Half NZ living in Australia. It's awesome, vegemite sandwiches at school, throw some salt and vinegar chips between it
Its a beautiful delicacy. Butter the toast, spread the vegemite not too thick or thin - there should be marbelling, then take a small nob of butter or margarine on the end of the butter knife and spread that over the middle of the vegemite to seal it over locking in the flavour and toning down the salty bitterness at the same time.
Toasted Vegemite and melted cheese OMG! 2 slices of toast, butter or marg, Vegemite, tasty cheese, grill until cheese melts, then put both slices together and cut in half. Or you can do triple cheese, put another cheese on one toast, stick together, put back in grill or oven, cut in half, should be melted cheese slightly coming out over the line of the black gold.
Fresh bread, butter, vegemite & lettuce for lunchtime sangas...yummo! Or on toast, lashings of butter and a goodly portion of Vegemite is a great start to the day 😊
The people I knew from that part of the world liked it. Of course, they didn’t stick their finger into the first jar they got their hands on - thanks, Jane! - and taste it straight, *like I did!*
“Only like it if you were raised with it from a small child.” I had it for the first time at 32 and even as an American I had it spread on relatively thick with a ton of butter toasted and not toasted same day, I love it. Vegemite is mandatory on bread
Vegemite originated in the UK where it's called Marmite, Australians changed the name and claimed it as their own. Basicaly the same but Vegemite has an easier consistancy to use. Best recepie for Vegemite : Planters dry roasted peanuts, three tblsp (American), one tblsp Hellmann's mayonaise (American), one large knob of Vegemite (British Australian). Mix in a small bowl and eat as is or between two slices of bread.
One reason so many people can't understand its popularity is that they use it wrong. The Australians told me "Ya sposed to spread it THIN, matey! THIN! It's not buttah!" 😂
Yes Josh, Vegemite is very special and for me it’s the best ! If you are in Brazil, you can find a very similar yeast extract product with the name of Cenovit ! Give a try and you will be surprise about the excellent taste of Cenovit. And since now vou can easier get a yeast extract in Brazil, São Paulo, you can abuse and use it in your recipes ... beside using it on a buttery toast ! Enjoy the new Cenovit.
One of my boys sometimes eats it with jam. Toast or thick bread, lots of butter, Vegemite, then tops it with strawberry or apricot jam. I just had to try it and apricot jam is best.
American here...just tried it....I liked it. I don't know why there was a need to make yeast sludge but with some margarine it wasn't bad like a beefy soy salty tang....
Had a taste of Vegemite today and the best I could describe it is very concentrated soy sauce. Also, the way that dude at 0:33 got turned on by thinking about food made my day.
Had it while ago. Its not bad but i get why most people wouldn't like it. But i dont see myself picking this over cheese and butter. This is an aquired taste obviously.
Of course other countries like it, they even love it, many many countries. It didn't originate in Australia even. You will find mostly it's ex-English colonies that love it for the simple reason that it's a British product. It all started with "Marmite" (yeast by product of making beer) which is basically the same thing as Vegemite both are meat free, yeast protein spreads. Used as stock in dishes or as a spread its almost 100% umami flavoured and entirely vegan. It's very good for you particularly if you don't eat meat as its packed with the B complex vitamins essential in our diet but lacking in vegetables. The Australians after years of importing Marmite from the UK developed their own brand (as did a few other countries) and they called theirs "Vegemite", a play on the word Marmite. You can even get both of them in Hong Kong for example, South Africa however just Marmite, New Zealand its Marmite and Vegemite, Canada just Vegemite, almost right across Asia, India, Malaysia etc it's British Marmite........it's always one or the other, or both. English Expats like the stuff so it's often exported for that market elsewhere too like Dubai etc. America is probably the only English speaking country on the globe that don't eat either Vegemite or Marmite or even know exactly what it is. For Americans who are puzzled as to what it is, it's just like a spreadable bouillon cube, or stock-cube without the bad stuff. So when ever you need umami to flavour something even your toast, soup or stew there it is. The British even use Marmite as beef tea but Oxo is more popular, Oxo is the meat version of Marmite or Vegemite. Not many people truly dislike deeply savoury even though it can be strong in excess, so I reckon people who claim not to like the taste are probably just being pretentious even if they don't exactly know why. Chefs use a similar product called glace de viande or just glace in French, its a very thick Marmite like heavy reduction of beef or chicken which they add to meat dishes or as a glace on roasted meat etc. In fact "Marmite" means a heavy cast iron pot in French one used for making stock. Which do I prefer? Vegemite everytime. Marmite hardens and is difficult to spread and use it's also even more salty.
I’m german! I’m born, raised and live in Germany and I love it (discovered it this year at 29 years of age) 😂 I eat it every day ! Only bad thing we only got the small jars here
Vegemite on Toast (with butter), is the Aussie version of Soy Sauce on Sushi. As long as you understand what and why you are putting it in your mouth, you're fine. I mean, it's not like you squirt soy sauce into your mouth either is it. And taking the Sushi analogy a step further - wasabi on sushi is nice too - in moderation
Those two dorks at 1.09 are not Australians - they don't even have the accent right - the fact that one calls it 'Dog slobber' shows that he is not even born in this country. I LOVE Vegemite on toast & fresh bread with cold butter - spread thinly - YUMMMMMM!!!!! I grew up on Vegemite. I take a small jar of Vegemite whenever I travelled overseas.
I am an American. I love peanut butter. On bread with sliced bananas. Or sour cream, or cheese, or cream cheese, or CHEETOS!, or yes even mayo (ok shoot me).

sounds like someones staching Vegemite for a rainy day.
I am eating it right now
Living your best life 💯
(Vegemite spaghetti in my mouth) "get it right!"
I ate it some minutes ago.

Agree, am from NZ and live in Australia now and grew up eating it, sometimes with thin slices of cheese ontop also.
Yes, Vegemite is very popular in NZ as well
Looks like by the accents that the ones that don't in Australia are foreigners, newly arrived or even tourists.

Tell them they are honorary Australians! 😜
Oh and yeah, Vegemite is always the solution to any problem!
I have had savory miso spreads that remind me of Vegemite...
In Germany, they have Vitam-R which is similar in composition and taste.
Looks can deceive you, I’m in America and omg I put vegemite on all my toast!
The only thing though is that you can only put a LITTLE BIT of vegemite. But it does taste really good
It’s like saying that “my car gets too hot when I turn on the heater on my adjustable climate control”
