If it's anything like marmite then yes, it rocks. And yes, it's funny when people spread it on assuming it's like jam or something.

My wife likes that stuff too. Maybe you need those special southern hemisphere tastebuds to enjoy it.

[db8man]

What is Vegemite?

It is the gunk you scrape out of the brewery pipes when they become clogged.

This is closer to being true than you might think.

I still couldn't find out what it is exactly.
Odd how nobody tells you what it is....

Is it a grain?
Is it meat?
Is it a dead rat?

I want to know exactly what the stuff is.

[TheOneAndOnly]

I've never tried vegemite. I stick with good old marmite.

[TheOneAndOnly]

Marmite, and I presume vegemite as well, is the yeast extract left over from the brewing process. It's basically yeast crap. mmmm.... lovely.

We spent a bit of time in Oz, and we loved the prawns, consumed mass quantities of the tiny yummy bananas, as for Vegemite:

Brewer's yeast is a good source of vitamin B, but live yeast tastes boring, it is poorly digested, and it can even strip vitamin B from the gut. Inactivated yeast lacks the disadvantages, but is still bland. The answer is autolysis: using the yeast's own enzymes to break it down.

Spent brewer's yeast is sieved to get rid of hop resins, and washed to remove bitter tastes. Then it is suspended in water at a temperature greater than 37 C with no nutrients: the yeast cells die, and vitamins and minerals leach out. Then the proteolytic (protein-splitting) enzymes take over, breaking the yeast proteins down into smaller water-soluble fragments, which also leach out.

The yeast cell membrane is unruptured during this time, and can be removed by centrifuging. The clear light brown liquid is then concentrated under a vacuum to a thick paste (the vacuum helps preserve flavours and vitamin B1, thiamine). It is seasoned with salt, and a small proportion of celery and onion extracts to increase the palatability.

Vegemite is sold in a range of sizes up to 910 gram (2 pound) jars, and in bulk in giant tins which must contain about 5 kg of the stuff. Only sissies buy anything less than a 227 gram jar.

Vegemite is cool. It's a good additive when you're making pizza sauce.
