The great vegemite troll

[lechat]

I was actually gonna post something about this last week but just like losing my role to play wolverine it looks like hugh jackman has beaten me again.


see it turns out all those times you have seen a celebrity forced to eat vegemite they were getting trolled just like how aussies trick other countries into drinking fosters and thinking the platypus is a real animal.


so who here has tried vegemite the real way

 

[Lightspeaker]

I must admit I don't think I've ever had Marmite (our version of it) but I was aware you were only supposed to use fairly small amounts of it. Was always surprised at how much of it people would have in taste tests.

just like how aussies trick other countries into drinking fosters

I've got a friend who spent a year out in Australia and he genuinely likes Fosters.

Now that I see it again, I could swear that I do recall consuming similarly thin spreadings in the old country. It's probably healthier in small amounts like that, and I'll bet it tastes lovely on soldiers with a boiled egg. Delightful.

I genuinely like Fosters... When Beer comes in a can you can tap with an Oil Spout it has to be good. Amirite?

Seriously though I do like it.

Sometimes though, living in the Southern US, I've very much wanted to introduce foreign tourists to chitlins. Its a Southern Gourmet Delicacy (thats code for how to fool rich people into eating crap).

 

[fix-the-spade]

Pah! Antipodean wretch, everyone knows that Marmite is the original and the best and the most rich in yeast poo.


It is quite funny watching talk show hosts (but particularly US ones) trying to eat foreign foods in entirely inappropriate ways. Eating a whole spoonful of Vegemite must have been incredibly unpleasant.

I have a feeling someone is going to be disappointed I stumbled on this.

I'm pretty sure that the great vegemite troll is Glenn McGrath

I tried Vegemite and didn't like it. It didn't seem to have much flavour.

Marmite is far superior and is amazing in big fat dollops spread on buttery toast. Anyone who disagrees is simply wrong, I will have no argument with this. If you find yourself wanting to argue with me, just accept you are wrong.

Yeah, it's Ok. Being English, the correct procedure for consumption of yeast extract is well known to me. Also, I want some Marmite on toast now.

Although this does remind me of my first year at uni when we had a US student doing a year in the UK. I had no idea of the difference between American and English mustard, and neither did he. I just assumed that Americans were fucking hardcore and drenching their hot dogs in chemical warfare agents was the way they ate their food, so when he glopped a great heaped teaspoon of Colemans onto a hotdog, I didn't think to warn him. That was not a mistake he made again.

Some of us Americans are a bit insane... I've used near weapons grade pepper sauce (could almost be pepper spray) on many different types of food. And I'm not talking like a few drops, I'm talking drenching it and licking the plate afterward. I think I've a high immunity to capsaicin. I've also been pepper sprayed before and it annoyed me but didn't take me down like it was supposed to. Chemical grade pepper spray though... that shits rough. I am strangely immune to CS gas though (tear gas)...
Anyway, just saying some of us are a little bit nuts when it comes to spicy things that may also technically be weapons grade chemical warfare.

He was not, however. This was a simple mistake with assuming English mustard was the same as American.

I do like hot sauces, but most of the hotter ones seem to lose their flavour. The Encona extra hot West Indian pepper sauce is lovely, absolutely my favourite, decent heat but more importantly it has a nice taste to it. I got some "Who Dares Burns, 2nd assault" and although a lot hotter, it does nothing in the flavour department

The best pepper sauces have a balance of flavor and spicyness. But my main requirement is that if I've any bit of stuffiness in my sinuses, that sauce must clear it up. I always keep tissues handy if I'm eating spicy food.
I have amazed people who think that serving me Indian food will make me scream in pain or freak out in some way, instead of calmly sitting there and then critiquing it. I'm not insane enough to eat those hybrid ghost peppers they make in North Carolina. That shit will definitively kill you as the capsaicin amount is enough to make your nervous system stop functioning correctly.

Did not know there was a diffence aswell.
I asume Germany and America use the same mustard then.

It's kinda like Wasabi, but feels like your eyes are boiling out of your face, rather than someone just set your nostrils on fire.

PS, that sausage looks delicious.

G'day...........
Can I have a moment to discuss Fosters. You know Fosters 'throw a shrimp on the barbie' and all that.
You would find it very hard, and I mean very hard, to find Fosters in most pubs, clubs and watering holes in Australia. We don't drink it and it's not made here. European Fosters is brewed in the Heineken factory and in Canada it's brewed by Molsons (I assume American fosters is brewed in the toilet). I've tried it, it's boring and I'll drink VB (also known as Vaginal Backwash) any day all day.

Further more we call them prawns not shrimp and they are never barbequed!.........Maybe with a honey glaze on a skewer but at no other time!

Lastly Vegimite is great.

I have a feeling someone is going to be disappointed I stumbled on this.

You're not wrong.
