[okarol]

Don't know why but I thought Vegemite was going to taste like Nutella.. but it isn't even similar.

no way, Jose

[kidney4traci]

Sorry, I do not have the taste for it, and I like salty, but not that stuff...

As an Aussie, I find most people that try it just try way too much. I use it on toast and use a skim of it just a scraping. Maybe you have been trying to "supersize" it which it definitely doesn't need.

[Chris]

Still pondering whether to try it.

Supersize us! More is always better.

aren't we supposed to avoid salt?

[RichardMEL]

Sometimes I just love spreading it on thick but definitely if you were trying it for the first time I would recommend just a light scraping as the lovely tamara suggests.. because it is such a strong taste you only need a bit to get that.. if you put on too much it can totally overpower you and I wouldn't recommend that at all.

Hey wait... they have vanilla pepsi??? not here they don't

They call it the "Not-so-vanilla Vanilla" Pepsi http://www.pepsivanilla.com/home.php - I haven't tried it.
Off topic but just wanted to mention - my nutritionist said to get the Greek Style unflavored yogurt at Trader Joe's (do you have them there?) and add a couple of drops of vanilla extract - she says it is the most delicious taste and consistency and a really healthy treat.

What's Greek Style Yogurt?
Trader Joe's we have 23 miles away, so if I have something to do in that area, I'll go. Just not making a special trip due to gas prices.

I do know Marmite from my youth, but it was never a favourite of mine.  It is one of those things they made you eat = "It's good for you!"

My dad used to say that whenever he heard the word 'wholesome', it meant that it tasted badly.  His mother used to say "Eat it, it is wholesome"

[paddbear0000]

What is Marmite? I've never heard of it.

I have a friend in Australia, she sent me a large box of goodies including Vegemite, it was awful, probably the worst thing I ever tasted, but also in the box was a candy bar called Cherry Ripe & THAT was to die for. It's chocolate covered cherry flavored coconut. I could eat one every day of my life.

Why oh why don't we have them in the USA.

[kitkatz]

I want some more Rockylea dark chocolate bars.  Oh my God! from Aussieland.   Kitkatz wants more chocolate you hear, ladies and gents down under!  That was an awesome treat!   I got one in a Christmas box last year and Wattle sent me one a few months later. I checked the website.  They do not ship stateside yet.   MMMMMMMMMMM!  Sorry drooling!

I do believe we did, or may still have something like that. The last time I saw something like that was when I ordered a bunch of chocolate online from www.hometownfavorites.com
I haven't been to the site in awhile to order anything, bu thinking I should now that I am thinking of it.

The green color of Vegemite and where it comes from reminds of sea kelp. I tried kelp once and only once and that was enough for me However this isn't made of kelp, but so far I am reading it has a salty taste, which I would hate. I'm not a salt loving type person and that is partly why I am staying away from trying it. To bad they don't have them in the ketchup/mustard/relish packets for easier tasting purposes. Like a sample packet.

Green??? vegemite is black maybe what you saw was off

[Chris]

Looked green when someone posted a YouTube movie here of someone painting toast with vegemite that ended up being someones face. Looked dark green on website also to me also. Then again never lead a blind man into a fight as they say, that's if I have the quote right.

[RichardMEL]

Vegemite is definitely black. Sounds like a very dodgy video there!!!! except no substitutes for theREAL THING.

now kit you know cherry ripes are just full of potassium right?

[paddbear0000]

Black!!?? That sounds even worse than green!

[RichardMEL]

I just want it known I enjoyed some vegemite on toast last night with a cup of tea and thought of you all

[monrein]

Duly noted RichardMEL and thanks for having a bite for all of us.
