What Were The Odds?

It started 2006 when I told my then teamleader there is Vegemite-ice-cream in Perth (yuck?!).
He ordered Vegemite via Amazon. Awful, we thought it ran bad on the way to Germany.
Tried it in Perth - yuck!
With cheese - yuck.
At friends - yuck.
And don´t start about Marmite!
 
I got this on the Indian Pacific - they had no toast (I didn´t want to ask and make trouble)....
 
 

Anyways... Ingo got toast, we had butter and some say I am stubborn... I gave Vegemite another try.


Hellooooo...

 
Guess what!!! I LIKED it!!! Is it (old) age, is it.... I don´t know what - 2 more tries but so far I bite my butt I did not try in Perth and brought some home, cause: Healthy!!!
 
How on Earth come I suddenly like Vegemite????? 
 


... he gave him a vegemite sanwich.
 
Now, whom to end with, Eagle, Swan or.... as this was in our kitchen in Braunschweig, finally...

 How about you, yay or nay and any explanation why I suddenly like it?

Do you have something similar if not from GB/Australia?

People say yo9u either love or hate vegemite. I've never been anywhere they sold it. I read somewhere, people's food preferences change every seven years. Not sure how true it is. Glad to know it's healthy for you.

Iris Flavia said...

My seven years are slow then ;-)
Yet - a good explanation anyways! Next time I´m there... if today´s try covers the last!

People's taste does change over the years, I used to never eat olives at all and now I love black olives sliced on a pizza or in a salad and on a sandwich too.

Iris Flavia said...

I always loved olives! Jamie Oliver advises to buy the ones with pip - I always... nearly always do :-)

Sami said...

Not a fan of Vegemite. I always thought you had to grow up with it to like it, which wasn't the case with me. In South Africa we had Marmite, I didn't like it either.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, exactly!!! That´s why I wonder why I like it now! Crazy, huh?

Isn't there a German equivalent - some yeast product (Malz-Bierhefe-Irgendetwas). At least I remember something like it from a visit to Bayern and Austria long ago. I did NOT like it, and as my tastebuds insist on being as childish as ever, I doubt I would now ;)

...Henry, you look delicious.

I knew I had tried vegemite, it seems our grocery store sells it as 'marmite' according to an old blog post I made. I didn't like it.

Iris Flavia said...

Charlotte, no idea - but if I can wait for Perth or order online. Here in Northern Germany I have no idea if/what to pick.
This way it stays special (or I order online!)

Tom, thank you, please don´t eat me ;-)

Christine, Marmite is Great Britain, I by accident started a huge discussion about both products at Maccas 2006 between both groups ;-)
Crazy I like it now!

CJ Kennedy said...

Sorry,Iris. Vegemite tastes like axel grease. Hard pass.

Iris Flavia said...

LOL. Crazy I like it suddenly!

RedPat said...

I tried marmite in England and did not like it at all so won't try it again for a long time.
Love Henry today, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, yes, I was astonished, too!

Never tried it, but always been curious about it's taste. Fun video... been years since I've seen it!

My name is Erika. said...

I am not a vegemite fan. But honey, that's another story. I wonder how it compared to the honey in Greece which was amazing. Hope it was a great Thursday. hugs-Erika

Granny Sue said...

Never heard of it, but I totally abhor Marmite! Maybe this would be better? Love that veggie Henry!

Iris Flavia said...

Spare Parts and Pics, the taste is hard to describe. You have to visit / order and taste it! Salty, a bit icky ;-)

Erika, the honey is to be tasted this weekend :-) I´ll let you know but reckon yours from Greece must be better - it looked so great, hugs!

Sue, I think Marmite might be more or less the same :-)
Henry says thank you!
