that sounds like the best dish yet. i just need to find a willing participant. *cheesy marmite smile at mv*

Well, I don't know about the beautiful part, but I have buttocks aplenty! Invite your friends! There's acres! Oops, the jar is very teeny tiny...

well, we could rename the jar MAMMITE and try it somewhere else

As luck would have it, I got acres there, too! Yum, MAMMITE...

vegemite (i tried marmite once and i did not like it because i first was familiar with vegemite, and since marmite is similar, but not entirely so, my palate rejects it as an "imposter") should be only "smattered" on toast. it should be eaten immediately when smattered onto freshly buttered toast (i use separate knives for the butter and the vegemite with great strictness)). toast with vegemite on it that has "sagged" with a bit of "sogginess" after a minute or so, will be much less pleasant in texture, and therefore also have a less pleasant perceived taste.

Indeed, and the soggy point is critical. A suitable spread may substitute for butter, but not many are suitable. E.g. anything that says 'lite' has a too high water content to work for any toast action. They just produce unsatisfyingly soggy toast. So to be enjoyed at its best toast should be hot, buttered liberally and lightly vegemite-ed - too much of a good thing like curry or cinnamon does no favours.

This is the cuisine of Britain and Ireland. And if you haven't had black and white pudding, you don't know what you're missing.

Though I'd take your point on the sausage. And on the egg. The shot was a spur-of-the-moment thing and the cooking is not my own. This is what real food looks like.

the reason "vegemite" has failed to impress many citizens of other countries is because they have no idea about the strength of the taste, and i am appalled at the lack of education the ambassadors for vegemite provide concerning it's application.

I had never heard of vegemite prior to the popularity in the U.S. of the song Down Under by Men At Work. In the 80's, they were the ambassadors for vegemite to those of us in the U.S. The song contains the lyrics "he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich". After that song became popular, vegemite started popping up in the international sections of some large grocery stores. I guess people started asking for it after hearing the song.

I had no idea about the strength of its' taste. Like so many Americans, I bought vegemite and made a sandwich with it, just as the song described. The problem is that I made a really thick sandwich. I spread it on the bread as though it were peanut butter. The taste was so horrifying that I spit it out, threw away the jar, and haven't eaten it since.

That's what I get for learning about new cuisine from song lyrics.

i tried some new flavour combinations:

marmite on graham wafers - tasty, though a sweeter cracker might even be better

marmite on pumpernickel rye bread, topped with feta cheese - very good, though perhaps feta is too mild

marmite on soda crackers with bacon on top - omnomnommmslurpmmmmmslobbernommmmmm

I tried a new combination the other day.

Lightly toasted bread with Marmite/Vegemite (I prefer Vegemite, but Marmite is what they had).
Cut up some thin strips of leftover grilled steak and some slices of cheddar cheese and made a sandwich.

The bouillon-like flavor of the Marmite was perfect with the steak. I'd definitely recommend it.

Vegemite (or marmite) and cheese on soda crackers, is an old kiwi staple
