145789Beautiful fabrics and know you will love working with them.....the vegemite is quite interesting........what's it taste like?
261161Yummy! I love Vegemite and Marmite, too! Spread thin on hot toast is the best. Your fabric will be fun to work with. Avis
3003Glad you tried the Vegemite, I love a thin smear on hot toast, My children enjoy it too, but not my husband - "how can you eat that stuff" he says!
12423Yes it is an acquired taste but nice if you don't spread it on too thick.
So many other uses as you have been told. I like to put some in Ham and Pea soup when I am making it just gives it a nice kick.
Just a hint when you think the tube is empty put the opening in a glass of water squeeze the air out and then let the water get sucked in. Put the top back on and shake you will be surprised how much stock you have for cooking. I wouldn't keep it but use it that day.
29723Well John and i both tried it this morning he said he would rather have toast and jam lol
I didn't mind it at all but i like salty food So now you ALL KNOW *****Hugs

Glad you tried it, and as us Aussies all know you need to spread it thinly. I'm with John, I prefer Jam to Vegemite.
I do though like Marmite - as Caroline says it's not as salty as our Vegemite. Don't forget too Carolyn you can add it to soups, stews, casseroles etc. as a salt substitute.
Our Ophelie and Delphi like Tomato soup with a bit of Vegemite stirred into it. Happy eating! Love Chris
360402Here in the UK we have a similar product called Marmite. Marmite is less salty than Vegemite but both are made from yeast. Not having much knowledge on Vegemite I do know that Marmite is made from surplus yeast from the brewing industry. Either VorM is spread on bread/toast/ in a thin layer. Carolyn after you have tasted do let us know what you think of it. It is something that one likes or dislikes. Happy tasting oh and enjoy your purple fabric
114320Lucky Girl.
My favourite way to eat Vegemite is thinly spread on hot buttered toast or make a sandwich of Vegemite and tasty (matured) cheese.
Or on a slice of toast, with cheese on top, which is then grilled under the griller. Yummy!
My cats love to lick it straight off my finger and every dog I've ever owned has enjoyed toast and Vegemite.
You can also dissolve it in hot water, in a cup, with salt and pepper, like a Beef Tea Soup.
It is also great to add, (like you would a stock cube), to savoury meat recipes, meat loaf or meat patties (we call them rissoles).
Aussie kids are usually introduced to Vegemite before they can walk.
The only thing I ever eat if I have had a tummy upset, (with vomiting and/or diarrhoea), is dry (un-buttered) toast, with thinly spread Vegemite.
Not only is it the only thing I can keep down, but it is also very good for you, at such times. (Not a lot of people know about this use for it).
So I hope you enjoy it Carolyn and Kudos to Chris for sending it to you. :-)
hugs n roses, M
122864Neat! I look forward to your taste opinion. I sounds like it is really good for you. Happy eats!
173580Carolyn how lucky you are. Try it with toast , vegemite and a poached egg, Yummy.. A favourite in our house here in Sunny Queensland. Australia
42046Carolyn and others, this is what we normally buy our Vegemite in it's a jar of about 560G. I see on the website you can get a 2.5kg plastic bucket but that would be used for cafeterias, school tuck shops, caterers etc. The big tub is $56.90 Australia dollars, but the little tube is only between $5 - 10.00 depending on where you buy it from. Love Chris
(The reason I sent Carolyn the Vegemite all stemmed from Trevor eating it on Christmas Day and Carolyn wanted to know what it was) I had posted a picture on here with it back when we were away!

234253You can be spoiled and blessed. Was doctor trip helpful?
66506Vegemite sounds like something Lucy was making on 'I love Lucy' show. Does it really give you energy? Maybe we all need some or at least I do-lol-I have never heard of this and to spread on toast out of a tube???
I know you will put that purple fabric to fast use. Nice of Chris to send it all with overseas postage being so costly. Enjoy!

109043Lucky you to get such a nice surprise. I read on the tube that it is for vitality. Does that give you more energy?

i am high energy so i would,t know but i walked 5 miles after that with my wee Peeko
109762Vegemite is a Yeast Extract.It has B1,B2,B3,Folate Vitamins & Salt.
You spread it on thinly. Example: Crispbread cracker , butter, vegemite x slice of cheese on top, it is a snack meal, or on toast. Yum....

have to agree with this. Just use sparingly. Nice on hot buttered toast and good when feeling 'off-colour' or a little bit sick.

1290Wish I had some Vegemite. Can you buy it in the states?

We are this on our trip to Australia and I guess it is a acquired taste! We thought it was awful. Waiting to hear Carolyn's opinion.

mrskiki, I bet someone told you to spread it on thick like Jam!!!!
It is an acquired taste just like that awful Dr Pepper that Americans like so much, which, (I thought), was disgusting! Same with Root Beer and Sarsaparilla. YUK!
TeeHeeHee! :-)

Ha ha ha I love Sarsaparilla Meg. Mum said it reminds her of a flyspray we used to have in Adelaide when I was a little girl it was called "Flytox" or something like that. Mum says the smell is similar!!!!!! Love Chris
85867Nice...aren't Cuties the best...so you will have to explain to us what Vegemite tastes like...
313860Wonderful gift. Love the colors of the fabric. But, please explain. What is Vegemite? It seems like I may have heard of it but have never seen it. Thanks.
14619Great gift from Aussie. I have not seen the vegemite in tubes before but then I do not do the grocery shopping. Enjoy your fabric as well as the Vegemite. Hugs

It's in a glass jar normally, but for postage it's easier to post a plastic tube! Love Chris

I went into the grocery store when I was out yesterday and checked the Vegemite shelf and yes the tubes were there with the jars. Probably cheaper to buy by the jar. Hugs
52676You should be spoiled and blessed for all you do for everyone else Carolyn. Enjoy the vegemite, we love it over here.
24329Dear Carolyn,
I'm so glad it arrived safely and I can't wait to see what you will do with the Purple pieces of fabric. I know how much you love the colour too.
I know I've kept telling you to use the Vegemite very sparingly, as I don't want you to open it and spread it like jam! As I said in my PM's it's best spread thinly and especially nice on hot toast! Keep warm, love Chris
