spam!!!! I love it!!! NOT. It's mystery meat...as bad as what they serve at Taco Bell (or so says my husband).

I have no clue what vegemite even is. Might someone educate me?

And as for spam...it is spamilicious!* :D

*In other words, YUCK! :sick:

Please explain Vegemite and why some here have such an affinity for it.

:scratch:

It's been insinuated that it's a one man quest to inundate the Anglican boards with vegemite. Me, I don't believe it for a second.

Yeah, you got that right! Try baking it with brown sugar and pineapple, and serve with mashed potatoes and carrots, or fry it and serve with eggs and rice, with soy sauce and vinegar. Masarap, er, I mean delicious!

Oh, Fish, you don't know what you're talking about...nobody outside Oz seems to like that stuff...not even when I'm involved! :eek:

Lol.. well as one of the resident Aussies, I can testify upon this matter... Vegemite itself is concentrated yeast extract spread, and is a dark brown blacky colour (when I was young we used to say it was made out of cockroaches)... But believe it or not it does really grow on you after a while and although not every aussie loves his vegemite, alot of us are hooked on the stuff.. infact, I made a vegemite (and cheese) sandwich for my lunch at school today, although traditionally it is eaten with a generous smear of margerine on a vita-wheat cracker (a cracker made from a vast array of seeds), or on toast with butter and cheese.

Seems like a shocking waste of good yeast. I could think of a much better use for it

Try me. ;) I'll bet at the very minimum, were I eating it with you, I'd be too busy enthralled by the conversation to notice that I don't like it. ;) How's that? :)

Thank you to my anonymous yeast patron, by the way. Perhaps I shall brew some porter with it.

SPAM, wonderful spam!
Magnificent Spam,
Marvelous Spam, spam, spam, spam...

I have to agree with Fish about the vegemite -- If Lel likes it then I'm a fan too (does it go well with green tea?)

Monty Python...ahhhhh :)

Rest assured, lel is not an arbiter of good taste. Bad taste, sure. Good taste, no.

Vegemite is good, green tea is good, but they do not go together.

If anyone brews some porter, save one for me! :)

I like span straight out of the Can.

I also like Treet, which is another Brand's Spam. I think it is Armour.

"Beast" does rhyme with "yeast." You might want to count the value of the letters to see if it adds up to 666.

Well...if you add up the values of the letters, it equals 85. Multiply that by the number of letters in its name and you get 680...subtract it by the number of the day I received it (Australia's time zone, home to the illustrious Vegemite) - the 14th - and you get 666.

I'll think I'll put off worrying until people demand that I have Vegemite in order to eat or purchase clothing.

Indeed you can. Bakes pretty good bread, if it's anything like marmite!

I would like to mention today that the priest somehow managed to mention vegemite in his homily, it made sense, and before you ask, no, I did NOT put him up to it!

I never thought I'd hear vegemite mentioned in a church...

I was "blessed" with Vegemite a few weeks ago. I have no idea what that stuff is. :)

Well, I have no idea how that would happen? (I'm just waiting for this armory to return, thence returneth my vegemite crusade!)

It's concentrated autolyzed yeast extract. You put it on toast with butter. Mmm mmm good!

Aha! I wonder if I'll get the vegemite back? Or will it be revamped into marmite? Or... peanut butter? LOL!

Spread it thin on your bread and you'll get the taste for it. Maybe put some butter on the bread as well (before the vegemite)- that allows a mellowing of the flavour.

It is good for you- it puts a rose in every cheek. :)

It's at it's best on toasted bread, yes. Although on toast, it definitely needs at least a smidgen of butter.

I actually like it best on multigrain crackers with a smothering of both some vegemite and margerine (you can also make vegemite worms this way *reminisces nostalgically on childhood memories*)
