He knows - his comment later was that they both taste like when I tried
making a soured starter for bread and he tasted then raw dough...

Australians acquire a taste for Vegemite because most of us get it
from the time we first start solid food. I guess my family must have
been a bit unusual, because I never tasted Vegemite until I was an
adult. Just a very thin smear on hot buttered toast gives a salty/
onion/celery hit. Any more than that would be gross. Vegemite has
always been a useful sandwich filling because a small amount goes such
a long way.

I can't say I like Vegemite (I'm a Marmite person) but I sent some to
a person in NB who insisted on trying some right off the knife. Small
wonder it didn't taste good, she was too obstinate to try again with a
smear on toast or bread.
I like a nice grainy roll smeared with Marmite for lunch, the biggest
benefit is that basically there are no calories in a smear.

WEll, we know that no getlewoman would EVER eat off the knife...no, not
even peas.
Marmite is superb with toast, crumpets(not as good as butter and
pepper), fresh-baked crusty bread....or Ryvita as a last resor, that
tends to be 10pm snack when DH and pups have gone to bed.
