I've heard that stuff is insufferable to anyone who wasn't brainwashed in the Australian school system. I shall remain celibate until the day I die.

Edit: And after then too, I suppose.

"Edit: And after then too, I suppose".

That might depend on your final destination. I've heard that vegemite gavage parties are quite popular among the lesser demons that populate some of the circles of hell.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

bilby commented on the word vegemite virgin

uselessness, do you always believe rumours and follow their injunctions religiously unto the afterlife?

November 30, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

I'd say so. There's too much at stake* in the afterlife to suddenly turn around and denounce the rumour.

Besides rumours do take a lot of umbrage.

I would know.

*stake: burnt at the stake: hell: afterlife... geddit?

uselessness commented on the word vegemite virgin

I promise you, every time I've entered the afterlife I have, without fail, followed the injunctions of rumours with utmost religiosity. I have a perfect track record.

November 30, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

I told you so.

;-)

What's the afterlife like?

Vegemity? Cheesy? iSnaky?

November 30, 2009

iLife 2.0

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

Can I have a bit of that iLife 2.0? I intend to develop it into an iLife 3.0 and maybe I may need some for my own... ahem... personal reasons...

Yes. That would be unforgivable.

Which would be more unpleasant? Losing one's vegemite virginity or one's Marmite maidenhead?

December 1, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

Marmite maidenhead. Losing vegemite virginity would be a pleasant experience. Obviously.

I proudly claim vegemite virginity. However, anyone who goes into the next world not having tasted peanut butter is a sad case indeed. (Peanut-sensitive Wordniks excepted, of course.)

Only about a week ago I tasted peanut butter for the first time—marvelous.

Someoneone once told me that peanut butter and jam is good. I've had that many times, of course, and it's not bad, but on that particular day I misheard him and thought he said 'ham'.

So I went trooping home for a nice peanutbutter and ham sandwich.

For the record, it was actually very nice.

But vegemite goes with ham and cheese beautifully all the time.

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

Other variations include peanut butter and bacon, fried peanut butter and banana (Elvis Presley's favorite), and (occasionally, horrifyingly) peanut butter, butter, mayonnaise, and banana on toast (my grandfather's favorite).

December 2, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

*makes mental note to try all these combinations*

Mayonnaise goes well on apple as well. Incidentally vegemite matches apple too.

uselessness commented on the word vegemite virgin

I don't get it, is peanut butter an exotic item for folks in some corners of the world? I thought it was universal.

December 2, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

So did I, but apparantly not.

December 2, 2009

Prolagus commented on the word vegemite virgin

It is exotic in the corner of the world where I come from.

A PLT is very nice as well. Peanut butter, lettuce and tomato on toast. YUM! Also a fan of pb and nanner on toast!

December 2, 2009

reesetee commented on the word vegemite virgin

Nothing against all those wonderful-sounding concoctions, but I prefer my PB au naturel.

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

Right off the spoon, reesetee? That's how I eat Nutella.

December 2, 2009

Oh, absolutely. However, I prefer to eat Nutella in fistfuls. ;-)

Ahh, the blessings of a text-only interface.

December 2, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

Vegemite off a teaspoon is also delicious, but too much can destroy its power.

Heheheh. I love the image of anyone with fistfuls of Nutella!

Nutella and jam supposedly go very nicely together too: sweet with sweet I guess.

What? I'm neat about it.

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

Sure...

December 3, 2009

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

Okay, okay, so this Vegemite stuff... what's it like? Is it yeasty? Does it actually contain vegetables? I hear it's "slightly" bitter.

December 3, 2009

bilby commented on the word vegemite virgin

Yeasty yes, vegetables no. And salty as all get out. Perhaps I'll offer a jar as a prize in next week's Spot The Penguin!

December 3, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

'Slightly' bitter plus two steps I'd say. If you are going to to lose your vegemite virginity, I suggest starting with a very thin spread with rather a lot of butter. If you start with too much, you end up hating it for life, which would be quite a shame.

(The Penguin (last time I checked anyway) is in the sandpit in the backyard)

December 3, 2009

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

What about the texture?

December 4, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

Smooth. Not gooey like nutella, and not the sort or texture of peanut butter either. It almost blends in with the bread in a way that you don't even notice that you're eating it, except you feel that one side of the bread is rough and the other side is smooth.

And never, under any circumstances, refrigerate vegemite.

this conversation makes vegemite sound intriguing, exciting even

December 4, 2009

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

But that's exactly what it is!

December 4, 2009

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

So I called my local cooperative grocery store and asked whether they had "that Australian stuff called Vegemite." The person on the other end asked whether it was a "supplement." I said, "Um, I think it's more of a sandwich spread." Then I was transferred to someone who told me that the store had never had Vegemite and that lately they can't even get shipments of Marmite.

So now that I can't get it, I really want to try it.

December 4, 2009

chained_bear commented on the word vegemite virgin

I second Possible's recommendation to try just a tiny scraping of Vegemite with a lot of butter. Also, it helps if you are hung over at the time, because 30 minutes later you will feel like a new person.

I used to love it on toast with butter and topped with sliced (melted) cheese.

Reesetee. *shakes head* How can I get you to try Vegemite? It is an acquired taste, true, but lots of people acquire it!

December 4, 2009

reesetee commented on the word vegemite virgin

Only if you'll try peanut b-- Oh, never mind.

December 5, 2009

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

I was able to get my hands on some Vegemite! I'm really excited to try it, but I'm still a bit nervous. I was hoping that some of my Wordnik friends could answer just a few more questions for me. What's the best vehicle for it? Crackers? Sliced bread? How much margarine or butter should I use? And... and... you know, what's it like?

hernesheir commented on the word vegemite virgin

'zuzu, be a maverick and eat it with cilantro and let us know how it goes. By the way, Kraft company created a vegemite and cream cheese mix after learning that many vegemite lovers were adding cream cheese or butter to their daily vegemite experience.

April 28, 2010

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word vegemite virgin

If you're feeling very brave, try spreading some on cheese. Make sure you don't put too much! Otherwise, I'd go for nice white bread or toast. Use a lot of butter/ margarine but down drown it out either. And don't get too worried because it's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Good luck!;-)

Marmite sounds like something made from marmosets.

frogapplause - totally! Reminds me of Otter Pops, which the ex and I used to joke were made from 100% pure otters.

ruzuzu commented on the word vegemite virgin

I toasted the English muffins, added butter, then started squeezing the tube. It was so thick... and... brown. The first bites were slightly bitter and slightly salty. It reminded me of vegan sausage links, or the brown malty stuff that I feed to cats when they're having problems with hairballs. It was pleasant enough, so I thought I'd try a thicker layer of it... that was a mistake - too salty! Slower is better. But I'll definitely try it again. And again.

Gosh, I didn't know that eating vegemite for the first time was such an occasion that called for making a toast to your own food.

Milosrdenstvi, would you consider English muffins to be toast?

I mean, what is toast, anyway? Has someone already made a list of things you can (or should) stuff inside a toaster?
