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.
