Plan B Forum

Since I tasted Vegemite a while back I've found that I can add more to whatever it is I'm putting it on (crackers, bread, English muffins) and I'm liking it more.

I know what most of you are thinking...

Blechh!!

I can deal with that. Too each his/her own and it doesn't bother me in the least if you make fun of Vegemite (you @$$*&%#!!)...

So, anyway, I found Vegemite & Marmite in one of the places I should have searched long ago...

Click on the Vegemite Jar...



But I need to know... Is Vegemite & Marmite that expensive in Oz or over yonder in England?

Geez Joe it sounds like you've got an addiction problem developing....

Maybe you should try to ease off by switching to something less noxious, like heroin or crack....

You had asked in another thread about folks who had tried either Marmite or Vegemite...

As I have mentioned before I tried Marmite...

I had it on a Melba oval with one of my favorite cheeses, (horseradish cheddar). It was applied by an Irish lady I was dating at the time who actually liked the stuff, (so I can't be accused of having put on too much)

I picked up a cracker took one bite, and said, "Gessus what the hell is this?" and spit it out in to my hand. "What have you put on the cheese?"

She explained what it was. I asked her what it was made out of. She told me and I started laughing and said, "You mean they've actually got people conned into thinking something made out of that is edible?"

She told me that it was pretty expensive. I started laughing harder and said, "I'll just bet it is. I can just see how it got started:"

"I say Nigel, you know that goo we scrape off the beer barrels and mix in with the fodder for the pigs? I'll bet we could put it in little jars, give it a fancy name and sell it to people for a pretty penny."

"Good lord, Ascoyne, you're obviously completely potted to come up with an idea like that. Come on, nobody would fall for that..."

"And thus yet another proof of the PT Barnum maxim was born..."

I then went to the bathroom and spent a couple of minutes swishing Lavoris around in my mouth to get rid of the taste.

I would describe the flavor as something similar to biting into a beef boullion cube, only worse. It also has a metalic or medicinal kind of after taste. (Maybe they put some sort of addictive drug in it which accounts for the popularity despite the ghastly flavor.) and the consistency of axle grease.

So, anyway, I found Vegemite & Marmite in one of the places I should have searched long ago...

He might enjoy a bottle of Drano as a dessert wine.

So, I'm guessing that you probably don't like Marmite, Jim.

You should try Vegemite...

See, civilisation can be brought to the provinces.

As that great wordsmith George W. Bush once said:

"fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

Come on LJ it's a joke, he's just testing Steve's theory about DHS watching our every move.

After all that would be proof positive for sedition...

Hearing what is said in many a meeting, I have yet to hear of a vegemite addict. Of course I go to AA not VA meetings. Will have to look for those.

Marmite addict

You know you have it bad when...

I laid upon my satin sheets,
And opened my marmite jar,
I spooned the brown stuff out of it,
And spread it on like tar.

It covered those white naughty bits,
That the sun had failed to tan,
I sprawled across my satin sheets,
And waited for my man.

He strolled in an hour later,
And asked, 'what is this mess?!'
'Yeast extract,' I purred at him,
'Marmite, and nothing less.'

'Oh Barbara!' he wailed in anger,
'Loving you is tough!
You look monstrous, you utter tart,
I fucking hate that stuff!'

I cupped my hand to my yeasty breast,
And posed an angry pout,
And then I saw the empty jar,
And knocked the bastard out.

Well there is always the dog. But he probably won't eat it either.

Oh, now that's just disturbing....

I know Jim.

But he cannot have been a real man...

He didn't like Marmite....

The XO is great stuff Joe but I would recommend starting off with regular marmite.

I appreciate that, Sean. I'm not even sure if I'm ready for Marmite yet, as I mentioned in another thread. But I'm probably going to try it because I can get it much quicker than I can get Vegemite.

Well, I went and did it.

I ordered Marmite at Amazondotcom and it will be delivered this Friday.

I rushed into this but I did it out of necessity because I would have to wait three or more weeks for Vegemite to come to me from Britain.

My name is Joe Guy and I'm a Vegemitaholic who is about to go onto harder stuff.

I know what you're all thinking.

You're thinking I'm obsessed, but I'm NOT!!

I'm quite the normal person.

Now... where did I put those crackers...?

You won't regret it Joe!

I'm betting that if you like Vegemite you'll love Marmite, Joe.
