    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…

          Lamingtons are a cake dipped in chocolate sauce dipped in dessicated coconut, sometimes filled with cream (you might know it as thickened cream, or whipped cream. I’ve heard shows where people put cream in coffee…)

          I just had a look at their menus and they don’t have Chicken Parmigianas which is common in pubs over here.

          Oven cooked chicken. Covered In crumb, then put under the griller with a marinara (tomato) sauce on top and cheese. Chicken Kiev (crumbed chicken with garlic/herb butter inside).

          Fairy bread isn’t exactly a good, but something that could be found at a kid’s birthday.

          If I was travelling up North id want to try Poutine and a real Deep Dish Pizza.

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

        While I don’t agree with the other replier to you, I will caution anyone who wants to try it that they only need a small amount spread on toast and if you go slapping it on like Hazelnut spread, you’ll get a bit of a surprise.

        Edit And today I learned vegemite has a fortified b vitamin version…

          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.

            I imagine most people’s reaction to Vegemite is like my recent first reaction to Wasabi. If I get too much out of the jar with the knife, odds are it is t going back in.

        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.
