"Well, you're not supposed to eat it with a spoon, silly. IMNSHO little beats a scrape of Vegemite on hot buttered wholemeal toast. And I am not an Aussie..." " I suggest that you leave the vegemite to the true > Aussies unless you have depressed nasal and taste > senses.  It's a little like eating hoisin sauce > straight from the bottle."   Hi everyone, I am still around!  I just had to comment on this cause it is so funny.  So many non-Aussies (and especially Americans) think that vegemite can be eaten like peanut butter.  But the opposite is true, and to be a vegemite conoisseur is a true artform!  As Jody said, if you place anymore than a "scrape" of it on your toast, you will end up gasping for breath!  But add a little scrape of vegemite to thick hot toast made on really fresh bread and dripping with about 6 inches of melted butter (no comments about cholesterol, thanks!) and YUUUUUMMY! NOTHING beats it - except maybe the other aussie tradition of a vegemite and cheese sanga (sandwich) or a steamy hot meat pie and tomato sauce!   Actually, it is almost breakfast time for me now, and it is vegemite toast day today (well, actually it is everyday, and it's also the only thing that my kids will eat for breakfast too!)....   fairy.x.
