New Vegemite "iSnack 2.0" Any Aussies here tried it yet??

[Feej]

Has anyone tried the new Vegemite as yet? You know, the one with the terrible name?

Apparently it's Vegemite and Cheese mixed together?

I'm gonna pick some up this week and give it a crack. Hate the name though.

I've never tried the original, but I am curious--what does it taste like? Is it sweet or salty? Does it have the texture of peanut butter or something else? This inquiring mind wants to know.

I am literally shaking as I type this! This brings back such bad memories!! I think I'm going to throw up!!

My younger brother LOVED Vegimite! I couldn't stand it!

We used to live in Geelong VIC growing up.

So, if you can get past the gagging sensation could you tell me WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE!

Vegemite is most definitely an acquired taste. I liken it to the sludge that forms at the bottom of the vegetable drawer in the fridge (if you don't clean your fridge for a long time) and, I imagine, tastes the same. JMHO. I know people who love it and it's British counterpart Marmite.

UGH! That stuff sounds disgusting!!

I love regular Vegemite, but I've been eating it since I was born.

The trick with Vegemite is not to spread it too thick, as it's quite salty. It's most definitely an acquired taste. It's awesome on toast with some cheese melted on top.

I'm always up for a "swap" of some sort, if someone would like some to try. Just PM me.

Horrid stuff! Unless you were brough up on this you are crazy to like it.

As an Aussie here it is in my blood - i even sent some to Pete & Walter (the owners of these boards) before thier Australian trip.

I prefer to call it VegeLite - not as salty or as strong flavoured as the regular vegemite. Basically the texture of almost a cream cheese you get from a bottle (also made by Kraft).

crappy name but the product is good and it is good for getting the Vitamin B into you

My brother's girlfriend lives in Sydney and while she was in the states she ate this stuff ALL THE TIME. It kills me.

He's moving there next week and I'm afraid he'll come home loving Vegemite and I'll have to hurt him.

DH and I think it resembles tar.

 

[Uuaww]

American's view towards Vegemite is like Australian's view towards Dr. Pepper.
