You should take a picture of it and post it here, and write out the ingredients, and then 'splain all about it. I first heard of vegemite from this song and then I've heard people say ewww, vegemite but a lot of people must like it if it's still around.
So, is it like pureed vegetables that you spread on crackers like peanut butter or what?

Yair . . .
Haggis.
It's very good for adding flavour to gravies or stews as well as being delicious when spread sparingly over butter on toast.
"Sparingly" is the operative word, a little bit goes along way . . . and be careful, it can become addictive. (big grin)
Cheers.

That's still under consideration.
It's a yeast extract, Fruity, whatever that is.
Oi.
Thanks, Mate.
It better not be at eight bucks a pop.
Wait. You *bought* it?
It wasn't bestowed on you by a grateful chihuahua client, but you actually purchased it with your own money?
Oof. Either you blacked out while in the store, or you're making seriously bizarre choices. Either way....
Have you seen a doctor lately?
I knew there was a reason I didn't have one of those.
Getting down to the dregs there, in that bucket?
I must do this.
I wonder if this stuff needs to be refrigerated? Or maybe I should leave it outside my door and hope someone steals it.

As a person who has not developed a taste for it as a child, the only thing you can do is give it to someone who has.
I would be happy to send my mailing address.
Alternatively a very small amount can add complexity to pretty much any savory dish, like a meat stew or even a grilled cheese sandwich.

Now that sounds interesting--especially the grilled cheese sandwich.
I've only tried marmite, on buttered toast in England, but I liked it! I don't know how vegemite differs from marmite, but I'd think they have to be pretty close. How different could yeast extract taste, anyway?
My browser's spell-check doesn't believe they exist at all, btw

I actually acquired a taste for Vegemite when I was in Australia for a month a couple of years ago.
Hot toast with gobs of butter. A very very very thin layer of vegemite. I also like to make an egg sandwich with it -- cheesy scrambled eggs on buttered toast with a thin scraping of Vegemite.
Eta: and yeah, it's a lot like marmite.

It's good for what ails ya.
If what ails ya is a massive loss of salt.
Spread thinly on buttered toast is the best way to eat Vegemite. The Vegemite should also be spread thinly.
