Vegemite & Cheese On Toast
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted something about food so I thought hey, why not take a photo of my lunch and write about it? Haha so here you have it. Grilled Vegemite and cheese on toast. For those of you who don’t know what Vegemite is, it’s a dark brown, savoury food spread made from yeast extract and is very popular in Australia and New Zealand. Some people who try it for the first time say it’s disgusting. I guess it’s an acquired taste that once you have a taste for it, it’s like the best thing ever.
So yeah, it’s just sliced bread spread with a decent amount of Vegemite, topped with your choice of cheese (I like to use vintage cheddar for the extra bite) and into the grill. A few minutes later, you’ll have something like what you can see below. Yummo!
Hmm…I don’t think we have Vegemite here in Malaysia but we have Marmite. I don’t take it so not sure if folks put them on bread or porridge or perhaps both.
Yep, Marmite is a similar product. Marmite is popular in counties like England and New Zealand so Malaysia would most likely get it from one of those countries.
I’ve personally never had it on anything other than on bread but I’ve heard of people adding it to soups.
Ah, yes, in the soup too.
Ooo… Now this I would LOVE. In South Africa (and England) we call it Marmite, and I have Marmite and cheese on crackers EVERY SINGLE DAY. I’m not bored of it yet, and I’ve been eating it for the past 4 years for breakfast. It’s DIVINE. The melted cheese looks even yummier though!!!
God I love this, it’s almost tiger toast…
Vegemite and Marmite are not the same, not even close.
Vegemite tart
Marmite syrupie
Vegemite great
Marmite sweet
There is yet another “mite” you are overlooking. Promite. It is the happy medium between Vegemite and Marmite.
Isn’t Marmite totally different?? They have totally different compositions. I have personally had Vegemite with melted cheese it’s great. Vegemite is the best.
