This is the grossest substance on the planet. Yikes. I was tricked into eating a spoonful once and my life has never been the same. :-)

I am a new Vegemite convert.

Toast, a thin layer of Vegemite, and margarine (per Rikki's guidance) -- insanely, weirdly good!

Willie, if you can eat boudin you can re-try Vegemite.

Apparentrly it's not Bovril that is competition for Vegemite, it's Marmite. But only the UK version, not the stuff sold as Marmite in stores here.

All smells like shit to me.

- we've been able to get Vegemite here in the UK for quite a while now - I'm addicted to it.

Best on croissants - a combination I thought I'd come up with myself until Dame Edna Everadge said that all culturally aware Aussies do it.

You don't want that european vegemite, you want that real aussie stuff... tastes totally different you know :)
