Why Do Australians Love Vegemite?

Recently my Australian friend had me try Vegemite and I absolutely hated it and I couldn't understand how people actually liked this stuff. On my recent trip to Australia I decided to ask some people to try Vegemite to see if this was just me.

Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

How to eat vegemite:
1. watch an American eat vegemite
2. don't do it like that

As an Australian, I can tell you didn't try Vegimite correctly. You wanna make your toast, butter it and have the butter melt, then spread a thin later of Vegimite on it, its significantly better when done this way.

Australians love vegemite because we're the only goddamn ones who know how to eat it. You basically soak the toast in butter (1mm thick) and then spread a super thin layer of vegemite on top (Like 0.05mm thick... or less)

That's all there is to it.

Seeing the people in your video trying out Vegemite, I did notice that most of them had put a rather large amount on a tiny piece of bread. So not really surprised that they didn't like it. Kinda like putting an entire tablespoon of wasabi on a single piece of sushi...

Butter the toast first and then spread the vegemite VERY thin...

I'm Australian and I can say, even Australians have differing opinions on how much vegimite to use. I personally like it a lot thicker than most, and my wife doesn't like it, instead prefering Promite on her toast. My kids like vegimite but I spread it pretty thin for them. But it does taste better with buttered toast, especialy with eggs or avocado on top :)

Correction, vegemite is found in 10/10 Australian pantries.

There's too much Vegemite on each piece of bread. The entire jar of Vegemite should last about 3 months of breakfasts if you're putting the right amount on. Heaped Vegemite is awful, with butter and spread thinly it's amazing.

Its not just aussies that love it, new zealanders love it as well.

Butter Butter Butter
Every time, Vegemite goes with Butter!

The German flag at 1:58 is incorrect, it's black on top, red in the middle, and yellow on the bottom.

Vegemite became popular on school lunches before the days of margarine when the main spread for bread was butter. So it tastes a whole lot better with butter.

I'm American, born and raised in Minnesota. The first time I tried Vegemite was in about 2009 I think, so I was about 29 years old, and I quite liked it. It's definitely true, though, what those girls said: you need a good butter to Vegemite ratio.

[joshuacreel]

Actually I'm an American and I don't dislike vegemite lol

[WindXadepts]

Am I the only aussie who actually needs a 2/3 vegemite 1/3 butter ratio on toast to find that perfect harmony?

Vegemite is packed with vitamins (A, E & lots of the B group), minerals and helps balance your electrolytes, it also has (Vegetable) protean. if your too ill or hungover to eat something proper some Vegemite on toast will sea you throw till you can eat real food.

the vitamins in Vegemite are good for muscle and neural development, good for Athletes & Academics.

Is also really good with cheese. Also, heard of shapes? We have vegemite and cheese flavoured shapes

[BirdSpyAustralia]

Vegemite should to be combined with butter or cheese. I do use in when making/cooking a few other dishes too.
