Aussies Eat Vegemite - From the Jar

It's not the issue of eating it... it's how it's eaten...... Unless it's in your culture.... most people think it's like eating shit from Satans Anus..... BUT if you get like say half a peanut of it spread very very thinly over a piece of buttery toast - THEN it's really GOOD.... It's how you introduce people to it, cause Americans in particular, think it's like trowelling on chocolate - hazelnut spread..... like 6 mm or 1/4 " thick..... Yeah I well I would - cause I really like it.... but if you have NEVER had it before..... get a taste for it first.... just a vapour thin layer on a bit of buttery toast....... A teaspoon of it in a big pan juices type gravy is excellent, a big spoon of it in a big mug to make Vegemite soup... Goes great with cheese.... I usually eat 1/2 a level teaspoon of butter and 1/2 a level teaspoon of vegemite.... and just suck on one or two of them a day.... some times.....

There are lots of foods that KIND people who want to share the experiences with you, of their favourite foods from all around the world.... IF they want to introduce it to you, they will do so trying their best to make it a good experience...... This is one thing - I have my doubts about though..... however Inuit people think it's the best thing ever..... Follow the links.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiviak

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: That's the kind of advice I could have used before I spread a dollop on bread and went to town. It was like chewing a bullion cube x20. I can see that it's not to be taken straight, I just didn't know at the time.

@Dutch Cobbler: So you like Bullion Cubes too...... I used to eat them as a kid..... Mmmmmmm Yummy. I think it was because I was halfway to starving.... Give it another try - Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches are more excellent - toasted is good too.... Perhaps half a peanut over a WHOLE piece of toast... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyRNe0OvNb0 ------------ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_sUhTWtvG4 --------- This is funny - and yeah I'd eat it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueutXTAvtzQ ---------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_52PuE07D7k -------------- Probably best at first -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRCARtfKgrs ----------------- The Tribal People - all pretty much hated it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV8Q_jVC7hA

Surströmming of course is a different story. it answers the question " how do you preserve fish for years ?" i never tried Surströmming . i could never stomach the smell .

@Leader_Desslok: I have never had Surstromming - partly because to get it in Australia, almost no one at all sells it, it's frequently out of stock.... and it's very, very, very expensive..... Sort of $90Au to $130 Au for 300 grams in a tin... Like lamb chops - I can get say 10 Kg for $130.... SO it's hard to justify spending so much on so little..... AND aside from the experience of going, "Oh FUCK - THAT STINKS!" and then eating it like the Swedes do... It's hard to justify the price to nutrition ratio...... BUT I'd be prepared to commit in and give it a go. Like you get good kind people who want to share their culture and their foods, and they want to introduce it to you in a way that gets you the taste for it..... unlike all the idiots who open a big can and vomit their guts up..... They say, get some flat bread, add some sliced boiled potatoes, sliced raw onion, some dill and some tomatoes.... and then add little bits of the fish....... LIke I eat Vegemite with a spoon...... That poisons most Americans..... so do the decent thing and paint some in a vapour thin layer over a piece of buttery toast.... Same thing with giving people a try of VERY hot chillies - you can tell them what it is, and then slice a TINY rice paper thin pice and cut that up, and spread it across a HUGE sanwich, so they can "get a taste" without burning their face off..... Where as it's not funny to trick them into eating half a super hot pepper by it's self...... https://www.shkolazhizni.ru/im....g/content/i198/19809

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: for all of your international fermented fish needs ! : https://www.surstromming.com/

@Leader_Desslok: I worked it out, that in Australia - without nit picking too much etc., the going price for ONE x 300 gram tin of Surstromming is around $90 or so Australian.... Ebay kinds of prices. 2 and a 1/2 x 125 Gram Sardines in tins or ~300 grams of Sardines, cost around $3.70 Australian. AND for $90 I could buy 12.5 Kg or 12,500 grams of tinned Sardines - if it was purely on a nutritional basis Surstromming has Protein 12 grams per 100 grams of fish, while plain old tinned sardines have about 24 grams of protien - though the fermentation breaks down the protien into other compounds.... Soooo The fermentation kind of fucks that comparitor up..... 78 USD = Around $150 - $160 Au per 300 gram tin.... Better price. https://surstromming.eu/ $49 Euro and free delivery = $81 Australian Dollars..... That is STILL a huge amount of money for 300 grams of fish. I'd really like to try it...... but I'd go kind of $15 a tin..... sort of max..... I can buy ~90 x 120 gram tins of sardines for $81.

@Leader_Desslok: Yeah I would like to try a little tin of fish that smells like a bucket of warm vomit that has been sitting in the hot sun for a week.... BUT it's hard to justify that selling point, on price alone.... It's not like I cannot afford it, it might be a real "treat" (according to some people) but it's not so magnificent, that it's benefits exceed that of any other product - like $90 gets me a new trailer tyre... $90 gets me 110 tins of sardines, $90 gets me 7 Kg of lamb chops, $90 gets me 20 - 30 Kg of different mixes of frozen vegetables, and $90 of fermented fish - gets me ONLY 300 grams............. But hey thanks for the link: It also has SUPER SALTY (ammonium chloride) liquorice... Yummy. I can afford a tin for me and a tin for a freind - I will ask before buying it though.... https://www.surstromming.com/s....tore/p64/SALTIEST_LI

@Leader_Desslok: But if you just happend to be a neighbour / friend and you just happened to be doing a tour of the Sunstromming factory AND you were given a box of them for free and you came back with them - I'd be prepared to at least sample some.... At the current prices, it's a lot of money for very little nutrition.

I have seen the videos of people who live in Sweden and when a can of Surstromming is opened - and the fly attracting stench sprays out of the can, they go, "Mmmmmmmmm Yummy! - That smells so good!" - and yet when other people smell it, they start vomiting. ----------------- Swedes eat Surströmming - We love it! - See pinned comment. https://www.mgtow.tv/v/Lll7DO --------- There are other Sustromming videos on Jewtube and I guess there are ways to eat it - like the Swedes do - with a little big of onion and bread etc..... so the Americans just hoe into the fish for the first time, and vomit their guts up..... AND when the others who eat it in little bits with bread and onion etc.... sort of like faintly putting a super fine smear of Vegemite on bread or toast, don't choke on it either, compared to those who spread it on thick for the first time and almost die.... "

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Surströmming is in a whole other league. Vegemite/Marmite is an aquired taste - at worst its "ewww no thanks". With Surströmming its more like "Am I going to die if I eat this" as a defence mechanism against food poisoning. I wonder if there is a smell difference between good Surströmming and a can that spent a week in the sun.

@clivemcd: I'd be prepared to at least try it..... BUT there is ONE food that - well - we (humans) eat rotten carrion too..... Link Hopping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming -----------> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiviak ----------> http://foodlorists.blogspot.co....m/2008/12/kiviak.htm -------------> The Food Lorists description - is well, "I have never tried it, and this is a traditional method of food preservation and they say it's not bad....... BUT I am changing the topic.
