Australians: Are Vegemite and Butter sandwiches a big thing in your country?

[Toad-1]

Just watched this australian youtuber say they are like the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches of australia.

True?

[helixia17]

if you mix your vegemite with butter you're weak, your bloodline is weak and you will never be strong no matter how hard you try there is nothing that can compare to the strength of a child who was raised on pure vegemite toast you will never defeat us we are the true vegemite children and we are coming for you and your weak butter-vegemite mixing family so man up or get out of our country

[samhradh_leannan]

I'm not Australian and I haven't had Vegemite, but I love butter and brewer's yeast on popcorn, rice cakes, or toast, so I can see Vegemite or Marmite being good with butter since they are made with yeast extract.

[Gypsy_x]

Its sent from the heavens for the strong to consume.

I'm traveling around Europe and brought Vegemite with me. It's the best. Its all about the ratio.

[Toad-1]

ratio?

[Gypsy_x]

Butter: vegemite. You need fresh toast, a generous helping of butter (and its imperative that it melts), and then a very very light coating of vegemite. Its magical.

There are also vegemite scrolls, which are like buns with vegemite and cheese. Gaaaaarr so good.

[Toad-1]

sounds gross to me ehh

[Gypsy_x]

Nom nom nommmm

[mooky06]

Individually yes. I haven't seen anyone use the two together in a really long time. Like I said.. individually? Yeah

[Toad-1]

you like em?

[mooky06]

I like butter. Can't stand Vegemite

[Toad-1]

good, you're sane then :P

[mooky06]

Have you tried Vegemite before?

[Toad-1]

no, but it sounds gross to me

[mooky06]

You'd hate it I bet

[Toad-1]

Yeah 😛

[Peachman]

Well
1. Vegemite is great idc what anyone says
2. They are pretty iconic I don't know if they are eaten as much as p&j seems to be though

[TheRedeemer]

Can someone here describe the taste of Vegemite and Marmite? I am familiar with these, but never got to taste them...

[Rox95]

I've never had Vegemite but I LOVE Marmite on toast with loads of butter. I don't quite know how to describe it but it's really salty and it doesn't taste at all like veggies. :)

[pretty-kitty]

I hate Vegemite, I didn't grow up with it so that probably why but it is pretty popular thing here. A lot of kids used to have butter, Vegemite and cheese sandwiches at school.

[Goodwifie]

I'm a happy little Vegemite.
Vegemite on
Toast with cottage cheese or sliced tomatoes
With scones, on fruit bread or pancakes
OMG Vegemite and honey on bread.

[pretty-kitty]

Ok that's too far lol

[dragonfly6516]

That stuff is actually amazingly delicious! My aunt brought some back for me when I was much younger. Australia is on my bucket list.

[HereToProveMyPoint]

Eww vegemite sandwich? I'd use it on toast but that's way not enough of a filling for two slices or bread!!

[HereToProveMyPoint]

I'm not aussie tho, just saying my opinion

[EvilAngel114]

:( I just had to look up what it was. Never heard of it. That just sounds really gross. Like liquified spam in jelly form 😷

[pretty-kitty]

That not not what Vegemite is.

[star6]

Vegemite is disgusting! 😵

I think it's god way of punishing us

[Amandont]

wow. peanut butter and jelly sounds really gross.
I don't even use butter, only vegemite. very good.

[pretty-kitty]

It's peanut butter and jam, which is actually nice.
What we call jam, Americans call jelly.
What we call jelly, they call jell-o.

[Amandont]

@pretty-kitty oh. that sounds less gross. still wouldn't eat it tho

[Wonderer89]

Vegemite is devil poop

[Toad-1]

how about peanut butter and jelly? :P

[Wonderer89]

Lol that's not really a thing here, but I enjoy it

[jp612612]

Whatever! Don't try to pretend that you don't like that stuff! I suppose you're going to also tell us that you're not into meat pies and more importantly, that you don't eat them with ketchup.

[Wonderer89]

@jp612612 puleeze, you know I'm classier than that 😂 It's tomato sauce, get it right

[Wonderer89]

Um toad, is that butter on top of the Vegemite? Where did you get the pic?

[Toad-1]

Just google. 😛

[Wonderer89]

I don't think anyone would eat it like that... must be an American 😛
Have you tried it?

[jp612612]

I admit that while I'm not an Australian expert, I've never seen it eaten like that either -- just Vegemite/Marmite directly onto the toast.

[Wonderer89]

@jp612612 I didn't even notice it yesterday,... it should have butter but it should be on the bottom. Helps scrap as much of the vege-gunk off as you can

[Wingedz]

When I was a kid, I put it in rice, mix it with hot water and then eat it.

[Justinaveragedude]

I am sure there is weirder... Turkish delight for example.

[ThisDudeHere]

What kind of abomination is that?

[blubblubblub]

ewh no im australian and only pure vegemite for me

[bytes]

I think a lot of people like it. I don't touch it

[TriTree]

What does vegemite taste like?

[rubymig]

Butter yes, Vegemite not really

[Naklin]

Wtf is a Vegemite?

[Amandont]

it is a beautiful food that us aussies put on our toast.

[Naklin]

But what is it though

[Amandont]

hard to explain. go buy some and try it.

[Toad-1]

"a thick, black Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives."

[Naklin]

I'm not sure we have it here in America

[Naklin]

@Toad-1 ew that sounds gross

[Amandont]

its not gross! it's great!

[Naklin]

It sounds gross though

[Amandont]

it isn't. its good.

[Naklin]

I'll take your word for it?

[Blitzkrieger]

i dont know what vegemite is.

[Revolver_Ocelot]

add some mustard and wasabi

[BronzedAdonis]

yes it is but its still a polarising spread

[Rehan333]

S that big thing in our house

[Chrysis]

I hate butter.

[COCOCHANEL]
