"Have you ever eaten Vegemite? I have – it sucks." From "the biggest disappointment of 2017" award.
No! No! No! I must protest. Bigly!
CM, you are maligning our Vegemite unfairly. Or perhaps not being Australian, you just don't "get it", no matter how hard we try to explain.
I'm salivating just thinking about how delicious this stuff is, to the extent it is difficult to keep my hands to myself, and the spoon away from the jar - on toast with butter, in spaghetti, with avocado on toast, in cheese scrolls, for beef stews and soups, on grilled cheese and tomato toast. Cadburys even produced Vegemite chocolate. OK, the jury is still out on that one, so perhaps it is just as well it was a limited edition.
So how to describe Vegemite? It is "salty and malty, which is what makes it so unique and tasty. " Nom! Nom! Nom!
So to all you nonbelievers. disbelievers, unbelievers out there- and yes, CM, I am looking at you!
- try it for breakfast. Utter joy. Small caveat though - just make sure you have a strong (very) toothpaste to hand, unless you want to spend the rest of your day in solitary confinement.
And when you read about the fact that "BOFFINS have discovered a way of turning human waste into a “Vegemite-like” food for astronauts", ignore the implied insult and reach for your jar of Vegemite in a silent toast to the fact that you at least "get it"!
