OK! So, my Aussie friends had me wanting to try Vegemite, Australias National Diet Staple ...I went to Amazon and ordered a jar. It arrived in the morning mail...yippie!?! I hurried home, made some toasted Naan, buttered it heavily as instructed...1/8th pound of butter dripping off 4 toast size pieces of Naan...thats plenty, right?! So, then I opened the jar...I scooped out half a teaspoon to divide between the four pieces...TOO MUCH! I think it figures to be about 1/8th tsp per quarter pound of butter and that would make 8 - 10 slices of toast or English muffins! It tastes SALTY but there is a malty flavor there and a bit nutty...I think its an acquired taste but not too bad, I could learn to like it. LOL I cannot fathom why it is called Vegemite as there are no vegetables in it...although it is high in protein, some B vitamins...its yeast and is suitable for vegetarians. I think I would enjoy spreading a whole toasted piece of Naan with the butter/Vegemite and then stir frying some zucchini, red pepper, sweet onion, and tomato and topping it to be enjoyed like pizza...I can not imagine drinking it in hot water like bullion, although a small amount in soup to replace salt might be a go...just fyi! Carry on!
