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!

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?!
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!
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! 🙂
Your faces say it all!
Right? Looks really can kill!
