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).
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!).
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).
And while I savored the taste, she was underwhelmed with the salty concoction.
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.
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!
