Yeah, it’s that good.
My Australian blogging buddy, Baz over at The Landy has often posted about his love for Vegemite (which apparently is a national treasure Down Under) which piqued my curiosity as I’d never heard of the product. Because Baz and his family rock, they sent me a package of Vegemite and Bundaberg rum (think Baz knows me well or what? I could NOT wait to tear into the rum which was quite delicious, giving my Captain a run for its money).
Welcome to America!
Baz cautioned that you put a very thin layer of Vegemite on a piece of toast or cracker – and also mentioned that this Australian potion was a fantastic hangover cure (again, knows me well!).
The prep.
I recruited my extremely hesitant (we’re Midwestern and into bland food!) sister into being a taste tester alongside moi (she made the mistake of smelling the Vegemite first, therefore causing her to drag her feet all the more).
If you want to up the ante, link arms to make shoveling food into your mouth more difficult.
I jumped right in with a bite - Sis tried a nibble.
And while I savored the taste, she was underwhelmed with the salty concoction.
So you love it?
I meant to give Vegemite two thumbs up but only mustered a pointer finger (blonde moment), while trying to explain why I truly liked the Australian delicacy.
Finger up!
American sisters, split decision on Australia’s tasty spread.
I’ve been living on my Vegemite every Saturday and Sunday morning since … it is quite the cure!

I heard of Vegimite many years ago, never tried it obviously. I would if I could though! Best cure for a hangover is not drinking… heh. Your team beat the Wings 4-3 in a stupid shoot-out, I despise shoot-outs!!
John! The Preds usually end up on the losing side of the Wings, so I’m sure they’ll be back with a vengeance next time. And, I am not fond of your hangover cure (yet)!
So there is a cure … have to try that sometime (hihihi) Love your post and your very supportive sis!
XOXO Nensi
Thanks Nensi….I kind of forced her in only the way a sister can!
And while Vegemite isn’t a complete cure, there’s something about its uber salty-ness that helps!
Yay. I love vegemite. It’s nice on bread with raw onion and cheese as a sandwich too.
Thanks for the tip, Gary! I will be trying that this Saturday.
Love it…you are both very brave!!! I could always send the econo size next time
I had to strong arm my sister into trying – although I was secretly pleased she hated it. MORE for me!!
Fantastic!
Too funny, I had always heard scary things about vegemite!
It can appear scary but if you get the chance, take the plunge!
There is nothing like a bit of after the night before remedies to quicken the senses, but then of course that would very much depend on what one was trying to achieve
lol
It sounds a nice cure but from some of the expressions shown here it could also be rather ghoulish too
lol I need another drink 
lmao Have a fun evening C&C 
The expressions do the Vegemite justice BUT sometimes you gotta do what what you gotta do after a wild night! Something about all that sodium that sucks up the hangover…
Yes I can imagine
lol

What is in that stuff lol ?
All of your life’s required sodium!
My goodness! Definitely not PMS friendly or I would blow up like a blow fish lol
Think I would love to try the RUM! Maybe the the hangover cure.
The run was delicious…I’ll save some Vegemite for you!
Alright, so WHAT is Vegimite and how did it taste besides salty? I’m somewhat terrified of it. Although the fact that you liked it says something and you and I both have fabulous taste in all things ridiculous, pink and glittery. Oh, and we love our diva cats.
You got that right, Sister! Now, I liked it…I didn’t LOVE it. And, it isn’t something I will be spreading for the fun of it. I use as a prescription for hangovers…so that being said, try it at your own risk. Actually, I’ll let you know what it tastes like again (besides salty) after this weekend.
You liked Vegimite? I never tried it..but I’ve tried marmite..and it was yucky!!! I guess its something you either love or hate..
Marmite? Sounds gross! Vegemite isn’t a love but a like for me – due to the fact that it truly helps with the hangovers!
Hey there, I nominated you for a Versatile Blogger Award. Check my latest post for detail! Congratulations!
Teddy and I thank you from the bottom of our pink, sparkly hearts!
Your faces say it all!
Right? Looks really can kill!
Thanks for the brilliant hangover cure. Makes sense, there’s a lot of minerals in brewers yeast spread. Cheers!
So THAT’S what it is? Minerals? No wonder it’s a miracle!
I LOVE vegimite. I’m aussie, it figures. I think growing up with the taste certainly helps with the not-grossing-out-over-a-salty-spread thing. I like to eat mine on toast. One piece of toast with butter and a bit of vegimite (you have to have it with butter!) and another piece with honey. That way you can swap between sweet and salty haha!! x
Oh with butter?! I love the sweet ‘n’ salty trick with honey. Genius you gorgeous Aussie! Thanks for the tip!
The vegemite sounds interesting and the rum looks yummy!
Interesting is a great way to put it! And the rum was delicious…how could one not like rum?!
