Feel ok?
Vegemite and chickens?
So far....
Catsy, I'm glad nothing has as of yet imploded, but might I query why you are choosing to subject yourself to this strange experience? Not that I think you're daft or anything, but one wonders....
Oooooooooooo, I love Vegemite! I also love Marmite though. I like it when the bread or crackers are slathered thickly with butter, and a nice skim of the ....mite (whichever one) with a good wedge of cheese.
However, if you don't like it, I would strongly recommend its use in soups/stews etc, because it simply generates a sort of beefy stock flavour which is quite delightful.
Yeah, sure...
It must be all the glutamate....
I did it.
White bread. Thick butter. Scape of Vegemite.
Not bad. Certainly not terrible. The Vegemite adds a little substance, a certain savoury je ne sais quoi with a definite beery-ness that one would not associate with little children.
But I don't usually eat white bread with thick butter. Is there another iteration? Of course if Vegemite made eating white bread with thick butter nutritionally virtuous, I could be persuaded.
Now for the chickens....
Someone should check on you in the morning..
That is kind of you, AnnieBBB, but I'm sure I'll be fine....
Tomorrow I think I'll buy a short pleated skirt and a baton...find some similarly minded Yeasties and begin rehearsing our synchronised routine....
Oh....ZZ!
LOL! Sorry, I just can't fathom someone, without the threat of bodily harm, wanting to eat that stuff.
I honestly can't imagine persuading a child to eat it. There is nothing about it that should appeal to a child.
I believe, in the US, forcing a child to ingest it might constitute some form of criminal abuse.
But, actually, I kinda liked it. Tomorrow I am going to up the dosage from 1/4 teaspoon to a full 1/2!
Go Catscan!!! Billy would prolly eat it, he eats strange things... He has stripped my tai basil and my stevia plants... I see him Eyeballing the mint... Come on Garden grow before I have no herbs left.
As a child I wasn't pursuaded to eat it, the threat of the wooden spoon was enough to convince me I'd better eat it. Funny how that worked, I never actually got so much as a tap from the infamous spoon. Have a good twirl in your new skirt tomorrow while celebrating your new dosage, and be careful, please! LOL
My mother said that as a child no one ever dared disobey at school...it was widely believed that teachers were permited to kill you if you did...although no one actually knew anyone who had been killed.
Oh, for the good ole days!
The scent of beery yeastiness does rather linger...
Ah Ha! I have discovered the insidious means by which love of Vegemite was inculcated into innocent Aussies:

I grew up on Marmite, which is very similar, and indeed I loved it as a child. But, I am aberrant, and prone to eccentricities. Still, most British children grow up with it and lots of them like it. I don't put it on white bread - I put it on brown bread or crackers. If you put it on toast that has melty butter on it and then spread it, it goes into the little holes. OH, it's good on crumpets too. :-)
Ah, yes, early indoctrination. I also took a look at the "Speed Painting" clip - a disappointment.
One.
Two.
Three.
It is official.
I like it.
There will be no Vegemite for the chickens....
Happy to see you're still here today. Oh, and um, I support your right to like Vegemite.
So picture two is the toast gone....
Yes, MissJestr, it was "before" and "after". I think I might like it even better on whole wheat bread.
Maybe I shouldn't confess it, AnnieBBB, but I actually liked when I hit a thicker Vegemite smear. It is piquant.
You should try it again...
Perhaps we can just enjoy it vicariously through you.
Nope, I'm with Porkpal. I'm happy you're enjoying your Vegemite. Tonight, after the little darlings (kids sleep over) are sleeping I shall toast your new found love of vegemite with a St Paulie Girl - my kind of beery yeasty supplement.
Cheers!
Nice plate! Now I'm hungry.
I am a grain girl myself, so Miss Catscan I am toasting you with Whiskey Miss Claire, it is Canadian Whiskey...
You guys don't know what your missing!
Yes, I am a convert--I had two slices of Vegemite and butter on bread for breakfast and just now two more for lunch.
Let the proselytizing begin!
I've been lurking.. but i missed a couple days.. just wanted to add... we put peanut butter & nutella on toast. :)
Vegemite sounds interesting. If I didn't feel so bad about wasting a whole bottle if i didn't like it I'd try some. I'm suppose to be trying dutch Piccadilly sometime soon... might get around to the Vegemite before long. Hope you enjoy it. :)
Has anyone heard from Catscan? Are we sure she's okay?
I'm fine! I am great! I have roses in my cheeks!
Really, you just have to proceed with caution. It is not as it appears...but it is highly addictive.
And now DH is a happy little Vegemite too.
Sigh....!
She has come into the flock...
Sob...yes, thank you, Claire.
I do love vegemite. I do. I just had it for lunch on whole wheat bread. It is sooooo good!
Why will no one believe me?
I believe you! I feel the Vegemite power! I do the Vegemite Dance of Vivaciousness in your honour!
I think you're both having us on.
Like I stated before I shall get my hops and wheat and other goodies that Vegemite has thru liquid form...
No, no, no! It is not the same....
DH just asked me to pack 3(!) whole wheat Vegemite sandwiches for him for lunch tomorrow. He is going to work on an island in the Delta (yes, we do have a Delta in CA) and wants something hearty to see him through.
Cast off your boozy vitamin rich libations....Let the dance of Vegemite Vivaciousness re-commence!
Claire, will you take the first turn?
I shall, I shall!!
Spinny-doodle-toes up, wiggle wiggle HOP!
Wobble to the left, wobble to the right, knees up, knees up, spinny spinny HOP!
Shimmy shimmy forward and shake-it shake-it back.
Vegemite! Clap clap! Vegemite! Clap Clap! Spreading motions, both hands, clap clap clap!
Springing leap right and flying leap left, arms up, spinny spinny, do the body wave and toe kick, toe kick, HOP HOP HOP!
