It's fucking delicious, that's for sure. A perfect addition of saltiness. And it has to be the tiniest bit, anything more is overpowering.

Am I the only weirdo who enjoys this?

That's how we eat vegemite and the whole world thinks we're weird - Australia

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago

Put Vegemite on my toast for the first time today, and I can confirm it’s weird - the rest of the world

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I am Australian and I find Vegemite horrible.

[-] fleet@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Canadian here, who's never been to Aus. I love Vegemite on toast.

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Fark off, tiniest bit? Slather that shit all over.

This is basically the same thing as Vegemite in Australia or Marmite in the UK right>

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

(͡•_ ͡• )

If I try this tomorrow morning and it’s bad I’m coming after OP

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Ah, shit. I hope we have similar palates!

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 9 months ago

Y'all motherfuckers need Marmite.

Top with some strong cheddar.

[-] ElongatedMuskrat@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Bovril is good for this too.

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That's basically the same idea as vegemite - a salty umami spread.

Edit: shoulda read the other comments before posting

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 9 months ago

I don't wanna eat anything that tastes like Miami or any other part of Florida, thank you.

I've never tried it or even thought of it, but this doesn't sound half bad. I'd imagine it would be salty and savory similar to vegemite

[-] Doublepluskirk@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I was just thinking that this person needs a bit of marmite in their life

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I always wanted to try it, now I have a reason to!

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Just don't spread it thick like it's Nutella, or you might regret it.

[-] fivemmvegemite@aussie.zone 6 points 9 months ago
[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You and I can spread it on so thick we can't see the toast underneath, but we were raised on it. OP hasn't developed a love for our salt paste yet.

[-] fivemmvegemite@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Fair!! Ya gotta work up to it.

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

If you're in the US, they sell it at Publix and Kroger/Ralphs/etc in the international aisles, and also at World market.

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

I just use Vegemite, same principle and basic production method, different ingredients.

[-] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I wholeheartedly recommend Miso Butter Pasta. There are several variations but the main idea is to thoroughly blend a mix of soft (room temperature) Butter and Miso and to use it like a pesto with Spaghetti or Linguine.

My favourite version is to add a tablespoon of Mirin and a dash of roasted sesame oil into the butter miso mix and stir it into a paste. When pasta is ready, mingle hot pasta with the paste so that every noodle is evenly coated, arrange on a plate and sprinkle with a mix of white and black sesame seeds, drop spring onion chopped into small rings on top, voilá!

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I am so trying this, sounds delicious. Thank you!

[-] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You are welcome! If you try and like it there a several interesting variations you could do after that, like adding fried mushrooms / garlic / onions on top. If you are into it´s numbing flavour, you could add ground Szechuan pepper into the paste, which imo fits very well because of it´s citrus notes, enjoy!

[-] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 9 months ago

I just eat spoonfuls of the shit

[-] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

How?! Its like almost pure salt. I love very salty foods, but that's way way too much

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I would also like to know this. I can only eat it in very small quantities.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

There are a ton of different varieties of miso. In my limited experience, a light, white miso would be great spread on bread, where a red miso would be totally overpowering, for example

At my urging, my husband tried making miso caramel and it turned out amazing. Great on ice cream. But also: miso latte

I use nutritional yeast on toast. Miso sounds like itd taste fantastic on buttered toast but I need to reduce Sodium intake

[-] Doublepluskirk@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I have been known to have marmite and nutritional yeast on toast... it tastes like B12

[-] Jaytreeman@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Related to this, pickled olives on peanut butter toast. It's better than you think

[-] Threeme2189@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Do you ummm... eat non-pickled olives?

I haven't tried that but roasted carrots with miso, butter, and honey are amazing.

A bit of saltiness you say? Looking for a dose of umami flavour?

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

That's nothing. Get some mango chili sauce. Now you're cooking.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 9 months ago

I sprinkle flaked salt on the melted butter.

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

My wife thought this was the weirdest thing until I fed it to her, now she thinks it's just the best

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That sounds amazing. So many great suggestions in this thread!

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 9 months ago

If you are in the US and used to our preservative-filled bread, a $30 bread maker like the Dash, some flaked salt, and room-temperature real butter will make you wonder if you've ever had bread before.

[-] jdnewmil@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

have not. But I like salt on my grapefruit, so maybe I will try it.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That’s an interesting thought!

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

You should try a miso butter sauce with your choice of fish, mushrooms, onions, wrapped and roasted in foil.
