USPS just delivered my vegemite from Amazon. Very unique taste. I kinda liked it. It does taste salty though.
Does this make me an honorary Aussie or Kiwi for the day??

Looking forward to trying it in some recipes as the article in SR5's post above suggests!

When I've finished a jar of Vegemite, I pour in hot water, give it a shake, then put it in whatever I'm cooking....except desserts.

Demi-glace was a revelation and became a key ingredient when I wanted to deepen a sauce, stew or chili. Top resturants know all about demi and always have it on hand as they make it from scratch. That's why their food, sauces & stews are known for a very deep, rich, amooth flavor that's "too die for".
Vegemite sounds like it would have a lot of these flavors, in a very salty concentrated form, which is a flavor I seek!
Not being a tool or trying to be the grammar police or anything. Just as an FYI so you get it right when speaking of it. It is umami with an M.

This cracked me up, as it was well known when I was a boy that a male engaging in self-pleasure would end up having hair grow on the palm of the hand used. Quite a useful myth to propagate if you wanted to discourage boys from engaging in such activity...
I have long been fascinated by vegemite (even before Men At Work) and it is probably high time that I try some. It would probably be worth it just to see the looks of disgust on the faces of my wife and daughter...even sushi will set them off. Wish they could have seen me eating chicken feet and sea slug!

I will be interested to hear what you all think.
Already had it twice today. Once on toast for breakfast and then with some sandwiches for lunch. I like the taste. Even my 1.5 year old ate it. Can't wait to have more.

QP, good to hear mate.
I think I'm getting addicted to this stuff. Can't wait to have it every morning.
Remember to check the toilet bowl, see how those B vitamins are doing.

question (please don't make fun of me): is this gluten-free?
amazon ingredient list says it may not
i have a celiac in the family, and the list of B vitamins it provides may be good (if gluten-free)
much appreciated

Q.11 Is VEGEMITE gluten free?
A. Some of the key ingredients of VEGEMITE are malt extract derived from barley and yeast extract, from yeast grown on barley and wheat, therefore it is not gluten free.
However, see also this statement from Coeliac UK:

Sounds like you may have tried having too much of it, at least for starters.

taste is a personal matter.

NHHEMI maybe not.

But it's not just that. I took everyone's advice and slowly eased into this vegemite thing by applying barely any of it to a piece of bread. Then slowly increased the amount the next time I had it, but I still use very little, in general. Now, if I just treated it like a jar of peanut butter and stuffed a spoonful of vegemite in my mouth, I'm fairly certain it would have been unpleasant.
