The thing with vegemite is you don't put it on like jam or nuttella or fluff, you only put a little bit on. I see vids with Americans trying Vegemite and they try to eat a spoonful, or just slather it on bread or toast like its jam (or jelly, that's what you folks call jelly, right?)

They are two similar but different spreads

[Gatefan1976]

point being, you use vegemite -sparingly-, not some trowel induced sugar hit (though, in this case it would be a salt hit)

Ah -- my Australian pal who sent me the bottle could have mentioned that.
It was a thin layer, but shouldn't have layered the whole toast.

She was probably too busy hunting kangaroos to tell you FH

Actually, she was an American who moved to Australia after 9/11* so she was probably also discovering that vegemite is not spread but very thinly layered.

* she was actually there that day. Lost her brother and cousin.

Jam or chocolate spread (or marshmallow fluff).

Not a fan of peanut butter either.

A page an a half on what to marinate the newbie in. Sheesh, just fire up the barbecue already and use ketchup!

[jelgate]

You have a lack of taste

We are the country that spreads 4 layers of Nutella on our sandwiches. Peanut butter was hard to find in our stores until maybe a decade ago.



I'm not a particular fan -- in small dosages sure. Same with speculoos spread.

It isn't. I do like peanut sauce and peanuts in general.

[jelgate]

Then you must not have tried real peanut butter

Which brand would that be?
Perhaps I should just be pointed in the right direction.

Homemade is usually the best.
