Even this would be acceptable if one could decide with certainty
*which* edge to butter...

And what butter to use ....

The real question is whether vegemite acts like butter in this
regard....

Nobody with any respect for their taste buds would even consider
using such filth.


The name is vaguely familiar - what is it?

It's a yeast extract. The UK variant is Marmite, and is a delicious
accompaniment to buttered toast (see how we stay very nearly on topic?)
and is marvellous spread thinly on good strong Cheddar cheese (I kid you
not). Vegemite, OTOH, is a vile Antipodean ******* offspring that
resembles the stuff you have to scrape off your shoe.


Actually, Marmite is one of those things that divide the world in two.
You either love it or hate it.

Yes, well, since I scrape mold *off* when it appears on my cheese, I
think I'll pass on this Marmot-yeast stuff. Thanks for the info.

Oi, Jimmy! Marmite is an antipodean (to me) strange concoction of
evil-tasting slightly sweet muck. Vegemite is the true nectar of the
gods. Try it with tiger stripes: alternate strips of thick butter and
vegemite on the toast.

As well as with cheese, lightly spread it on toast (on-topic again) with
a poached egg on top. Yummy.

for breakfast)


Is it *that* hard to get people to eat Marmite?

A very soft boiled egg with a dab of 'mite-style supermarket own brand yeast
extract in the yolk - nectar! Alternatively the toasted dipping sticks of
toast require a generous layer of 'mite (caution: do not eat this straight
before a blood pressure check-up unless you want a lecture from the medic)

Yummmmm, 'mite soldiers dipped in egg yolk drool. My grandmother knew
what she was about, I tell you. (It was her that taught me how to boil
an egg when I was 10...)

'mite and honey (must be set honey) sandwiches is another combination
which actually works. I think this combination came about during an
attack of the munchies. 'mite and hard boiled egg sarnies. Sadly none
of this is acceptable to Thrust Pixies. I have it on good authority
that they don't like 'mite-type spreads.
