So I brought toast to work today. Some toasted, some not. And marge. Why?
We tried the toasted one without marge.
I don´t wanna affront anybody. But... I guess you have to be born to like Vegemite - or not.
It wasn´t just salty. It tasted like .. it wasn´t good anymore.
We tried with marge, too (the two of us who were left over to give it another try at least).
It may be healthy. It may be yummy - but the last point for australian people only, I guess.
We had a good laugh around tastebuds here, though :-)
We really tried to T A S T E - how often do you do that so carefully, so concentrated? (Would just have been more rewarding if the tastes would have been better).
We should do that more often, taste things more concentrated, I mean ;-)
Well, my colleague said, he´s glad he knows about this stuff now.
And that he wants to try again... maybe.
Do australian people really like this stuff? If so - what exactly is yummy about it?

Ooh, good question. I don't think it's something you really let linger on your taste buds. And definitely not something you eat without margarine or butter. We eat it on toast by itself, or in sandwiches or on SAO biscuits with cheddar cheese. I like it but I wouldn't describe it as yummy. I like it when I'm cold, or I just need a quick snack. Ooh, and in sandwiches with cheese and lettuce, lol.
Hehe, now I have to find out what SAO bisciuts are, Wikipedia doesn´t know them (yet).
Well, we let it linger way too long then, I had the taste for hours.
I gave my colleague the hint with the sandwiches, thank you :-)
Lol, I feel for you and the vegemite taste! I've just read Ingo's comment from a previous post and yes, do spread it thin - some people spread it thicker but it doesn't have to cover the whole surface. SAOs are made by Arnotts and are said to be named after Salvation Army Officers. There is an article about Arnotts at Wikipedia. Hmm, now I'm off for some Vegemite toast. :-)
Thank you for the link, Deanne, and "bon appetit" :-)
And, yes, we spread it thin, but not thin enough ;-)
I really like to find out about local food (as long as there is no fish involved).
