    I mean, they could have just said “it taste like shit” instead. Such a odd taste but every culture has its thing.

        Tim Tams are awesome. Never had the others. Had an Australian exchange student in high school and could never get used to vegimite. She hated peanut butter so I get it.

        Fucked up thing was our school on the first night to America takingn20nexchange students and their families out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse…

          Indeed. I could smell it being used in the kitchen from an upstairs bedroom when I lived there.

          I mean the people that I’ve seen spread it like peanut butter (hazelnut spread equivalent). It’s not vile like the taste of a durian but it’s something that invokes a medicine type taste that leaves you squinting one eye and bobbing your head.

        Marmite is essentially the same thing, but Vegemite is slightly better.

        While Marmite is extremely sticky, Vegemite is easier to spread. It’s extremely salty, and yeasty with a bitter aftertaste.

        I like it on plain toast with butter and an almond sized amount. It’s great as a sandwich with some sharp white cheddar, lettuce and tomato.

        I also add it in the beef for hamburger patties, or I add it to cover my pot roast along with some mustard, butter and herbs before putting that in a slow cooker.
