I’m an American (sorry for ruining the world) and i just tried Vegemite. I was surprised to find that i neither love it or hate it. From the way people talk about it I thought it was this EXTREME thing that supposedly you love or hate. It’s certainly a strong flavor, but it’s not like wasabi level intense. To me it tastes very similar to the burnt bits stuck to the pan after cooking a burger.
I tried it straight and the first taste made me say “huh” out loud. The best thing I’ve tried it on is croutons (because i didn’t have bread to toast). I’ve tried it with a few other random foods and it doesn’t seem to improve anything.
Is it unusual for someone to have a neither love or hate opinion of it?
Is there any specific food you recommend to use it with?
Hot toast, heaps of quality butter and a scrape of Vegemite. Can spruce it up by throwing on a slice of cheese and grilling it a bit. Ripper brekkie when paired with a hot brew and a durry.
This is the way. It’s still an acquired taste but each variant of *mite and from different countries is a different take.
I’ve seen videos of Americans who slap on the *mite like Nutella - they’re gonna have a bad time even if they love the stuff.
Typical minding hard there. Loads of people eat it that way
