    You put too much Vegemite on. For a Vegemite newbie, you need to toast the bread, add heaps of butter and scrape on a tiny amount of Vegemite.

    There's a fairly subtle difference between Marmite and Vegemite. My preference is Vegemite. Several years ago there was an earthquake that damaged the manufacturing plant that made Marmite, resulting in a shortage of Marmite known as Marmageddon. I just watched Josh and Lisa's vid on NZ, and finally learned the origin story of the car plant!

    For Vegemite you have to have HOT buttered toast -with the butter actually melted through. Then the thinest smear of vegemite -never thick like peanut butter. Cover the toast, but only a few molecules thick. Best late night snack in the world! Love that you visited the dog and sheep at Tirau. Tia for scale!

      For a first timer it really does have to be the skimpiest amount possible with lots of butter 95% butter with 5% vegemite. It really would taste horrible when your brain is thinking it's going to be sweet.

    Way back in the early 2000s when i went to NZ and wanted to go to Matamata to visit the hobbiton set, the original set was basically only holes…the farm owner didnt want the film set keep and wanted to have the farm returned to its original state. Obviously realised a film set attraction is a better investment 😂 but very impressed with the attention to detail…also agree with the person that mentioned the Vegemite to butter ratio…if you’ve never had Vegemite before, you need more butter than vegemite. Also i find that marmite is a lot more “runnier” than vegemite…and vegemite is superior 😊
