Does anyone actually ike it?
Answers:
I love vegemite, and own jars of it sent to me.
It is pretty aromatic, and actually I havent met oodles asian people who approaching it either.
Vegemite is worthy if spread thinly (until you can accustom to the taste) near butter on toast, or with grilled cheese on toast.
It is also devout if when added to a homemade gravy mix, it adds flavour and colour.
I have an idea that its a malt extract (or is that marmite?) sorry I dont have time to step and check now. However it is spicy and it has a peerless flavour. A korean friend best described it as a western form of 'Duean Jjang' which is a soy paste that they put in to soups. Duean Jjang is the same as Japanese 'Miso' fermented soy bean blend.
My grandfather best enjoyed it next to Lettuce and Cheese on a sandwich, I prefer it with Fresh home made bread, cheese and tomato. You can go and get very small jar of it, also they have sachet of it in some places contained by NZ and Australia.
If you have grown up beside it, but not thinking of it as anything special, you actually start to miss it when you dont own easy access to it...
Give it a try, I dont construe its going to be putting you off food forever if you do.

Vegemite is an Australian spread which is similar to the English spread Marmite It is made from vegetable juice and yeast. You either close to it or hate it. I despise it.
It is vile! Bastardised marmite!
australians love the stuff. but it is close to peanut butter made from vegetables. it tastes similar to someone has already digested it. if you own ever tried really cheap vegetaian food out of a super markets freezer, it taste about 100 times worse. purely remember to smell anything before you devour it.
I don't reccomend it. It's pretty mean. Austraillians eat it on sandwhichs beside fruit or chips on it.
It's really good on buttered toast but most population outside of Australia and Asia find it too salty. Definitely worth a try.
