Foreigners that hate vegemite

I tasted it once - it's like over salted dog shit.

mmmm I love Vegemite... Can never get enough of it! I'm from australia

I think the main reason for most foreigners disliking Vegemite is that they haven't been properly taught in the ways of eating it. Therefore, I supply these helpful hints to those foreigners voicing their distaste for Vegemite here and who are brave enough give it another try.

Rule 1:
Apply a nice thick layer of butter, or your butteryesque spread of choice, to the bread before spreading the Vegemite. This will temper the saltiness of the Vegemite.

Rule 2:
Vegemite is not peanut butter. The suggested serving size for Vegemite is 5 grams (I probably use less), whereas the recommended serving size for peanut butter varies between 20 and 32 grams depending on the brand. Baring this in mind, be very sparing when you spread.

Rule 3: (This applies only to those who have yet to try Vegemite I suppose.)
Don't let your eyes fool you into thinking you are about to taste something that must surely taste like chocolate given it's yummy colour and consistency... you WILL be disappointed.

I really like Australia. I have lots of friends from there. I had heard all kinds of horror stories about Vegemite, and I saw it as a challenge. I told myself, I'm sure I'll try and I'm going to love it!

Then one of said friends brought me a jar of Vegemite in one of his visits. Lets just say, the jar is intact and is being used as a paperweight.

I think many Ausies love Vegemite because it has passed from generation to generation and being fed to people since they are so young that it grows on them. Maybe if I go live there and start making myself eat it on a regular basis I'll grow to love it too.

I love vegemite!
I'm from New Mexico, USA.
I visited Australia a few years back and tried it with breakfast at the hotel.
...and since then, I've been eating it.
I have to buy at it the international market.
So yay, you found one who's not from Australia!

I love a lot of international and ethnic foods but I can't stand vegemite! Sorry Aussies :)

I love it and I'm an Aussie.

Never tried it, heard terrible things about it though.

I would absolutely be willing to try it though. I'm very open minded when it comes to food.

I LOVE VEGIMITE!! if your tasting it for the first time,here is a tip: take a tiny little bit, not a spoon full, its not like nutella.

I absolutely HATE vegemite, but I absolutely LOVE marmite!!! And I'm not aussie :)

I'm American. I've actually never had vegemite, I didn't know you could get it here...

if it is like Marmite it taste horrible.
but what ever your taste.

its made from the extracted yeast from beer brewing, and also just spices and vegetable additives.

Good stuff :)

I am American and tried it about about the age of 38 here in the US while attending a party hosted by Australians. I liked it and would use it as a butter substitute if it were available here. But I don't think it would catch on around here anytime soon though. Is it made of yeast or something?

I think its mainly because people from overseas try it by eating a spoonful of it. if they tried a light speread on toast, they would probably enjoy it a lot more...

I'm from Texas. I visited Australia for 6 weeks. I hated the stuff.

It has to be a thick layer of butter and just a light scrape of vegemite for me!

Hate vegemite and I'm Aussie. It smells bad too. Lol.

HATE VEGEMITE! but I'm half Spanish!

Haha there you go!

it's an acquired taste, even there. your question is stereotypical.

its made from the extracted yeast from beer.... that may sound weird but its good, strong flavour and is realllly salty, i think thats what puts people off...

Never had it, actually I think it'd be hard to find in North America, where I am. I've heard terrible things about it, but I'd be willing to try it. I'd be hypocritical if I didn't, something I live by is try everything once. What exactly is it though, like what is it made of?

Australian. Love my Vegemite. It's the same for me, nobody I don't know anyone from overseas who likes Vegemite. I think they're too used to sweet spreads.

sugary marmite for convicts. Not a patch on the original

If its like other yeast extracts then no. You either love it or hate it. Many people might know this better as "marmite".

I'm Canadian and I've never tried it, but I know what it is and I would give it a try if I had the opportunity.

I've heard that it taste horrible.

What does it taste like? And why do you like it?
(please be specific)

love it but im aussie lol i like the new 1 2

Here in the US I've never heard of it before now. What is it?

"I find it weird how people not born in australia..." stopped reading here. This is nothing but pure racism.
