Who Doesnt Like Vegemite ?

Salty axle grease! It's absolutely disgusting in taste, look and smell!

Born in Australia, so it's not just the foreigners that hate the stuff!

I love it, the kids love it, DH doesn't love it, but he still eats it. Happy little vegemites over here

[S'rose]

Ewww, I can't stand the smell, the look or the taste and never have liked it!! And I am Aussie born too!!!
Its definitely repulsive.

Aussie born, and can't stand the stuff. Can't even stand the smell of it. BLERK. Doesn't even smell like it's edible!

Try Marmite instead!!! Soooo much better. I can't stand Vegemite but Marmite is yum.

Although I might be biased, kiwi kids grow up on Marmite...

[Muffy]

i LIKE it.. dont love it though....

ETA - yes i LOVE marmite lol

[Tinks]

I couldn't live without Vegemite! I just love the stuff!

When I'm sick and can't stomach food I crave Vegemite on toast. WHen I'm hungover I gorge myself on Vegemite on toast. When I CBF cooking, you guessed it - I eat Vegemite on toast

Vegemite was the first sandwich spread I gave my kids when I introduced toast and sandwiches to their diets as babies.

Ewwww. I am Aussie born but am of Turkish decent. The taste is horrible as is the smell.

I have tried Vegemite as a kid and loathe it. I've bought a jar for my kids to try and they hate it too. A few of my friends who are Aussie born but Turkish absolutely love it. I guess it is a matter of taste rather than that of ethnicity.

As a kid back in South Africa, my mum always hauled out the jar of Marmite when anyone had an upset tummy or was spewing She said that Marmite on toast helps settle the tummy etc. So as a result, whilst I now eat Vegimite in Australia, for me, it still has that nasty association will gastro (thanks mum!!).

I am starting to get over it and I have to say that without it, I don't think I would have survived through my morning sickness! So I love it for a different reason, guess

DH (an Aussie) loves it and will have it on toast all the time if given the chance. For some reason, I will always reach for the jam / cheese etc. before thinking of Vegemite. I do, however, really enjoy it with cheese toast or scraped on the toast before I pop a fried egg on

So I suppose I disprove the theory that most non-Australians (though I am a citizen now) don't like it

My DH hates vegemite and I love it.

I can not stand promite... that is the most disgusting thing ever created!

[NaNa]

ghastly stuff! I have always disliked it, but even more so since when I was pregnant I was working just up the road from the Kraft factory where they make Vegemite. Every afternoon I would leave the office to be hit in the face with the industrial strength stench of Vegemite that was powerful enough to singe your nostril hairs! I have an aversion to pretty much all Kraft products now!
But my DP, who's not Australian, absolutely loves the stuff...
