A spread for toast made of vegetable extract. While it is extremely popular in Australia, it is reviled everywhere else. This aspect of vegemite is used for great humour by we Australians, as a single smear of it will reduce a non-Australian to a quivering jelly, similar to a veteran of ‘Nam. To make a vegemite sandwich, you must toast two slices of bread, and then butter it. You must then add just the right amount of spread, I find that half-a-teaspoon per slice works perfectly. Press the two slices together, and eat. Then, depending on nationality, you will proceed to the local pub or to the ER. Some leading scientists theorise that we Australians can digest vegemite do to our stomachs and tongues being lined with a natural Kevlar, strengthened by years of swearing, drinking and licking kangaroos.
Example: Robert: Hey, you wanna try a Vegemite sandwich? Johann: Okay, I've never had one before. Robert (prepares sandwich) here you go. (Johann eats it, then coughs up own appendix) Robert: Wussy.
Ozzie
What is left stuck to the back of a toilet bowl the day after eating a mixture of festy vagina and cigarette butts from beer cans. (Which aptly describes the Kraft product as well).
Example: Robbo left a trail of vegemite down the back of the dunny this morning, he must have scored last night after a big night on the piss.
Laz
A dark, sticky food paste that has become a staple of the Australian diet. Made from brewer’s yeast, it is a rich source of B vitamins. Brewer’s yeast is a by-product of the beer brewing process. Consequently, an ample supply exists in Australia. Vegemite’s flavour is extremely salty and remarkably strong. It is one of the few things the alcohol-numbed tongues of inebriated Aussies can actually taste, hence its popularity in its home market. However, that popularity has not transitioned to other countries. In many English speaking cultures, it’s known as “Satan’s Stool” or “Poo in a Jar”.
Example: Wizard of Oz: "Oi, mate! Care for some Vegemite?" Sober Guy: "No thanks. I'd have to suck a koala's ass to get the taste out of my mouth."
Lazza
An Australian icon. A yeast spread. Very delicious, espcially, in a sandwich, on toast, salada or cruskits. BEWARE OF RIP-OFF’S! If you grow up with Vegemite, then you can have it REALLY thick with no butter and it will have no effect. For first-timers, use BARELY ANY vegemite and alot of butter. Then, eventually use less butter and more vegemite. It’s an aqquired taste. You’ll get used to it.
Example: I love my vegemite on toast with no butter yum yum :)
Madeline
An Australian paste commonly spread on bread or crackers. It is browny-black in colour and made from yeast. It has a salty and tangy taste that is almost inpossible to describe accurately.
Example: Hey Mum, Can i have a vegemite sandwitch for lunch today? "Sure Hun"
Prudential
it looks like petrolleum, tastes like crap, only eaten by australians, expats in other countries, and people who eat way too much crrap.
Example: 1) some autralian weirdo: have some vegemite, mate! mo: no way. looks like petrolleum, tastes like crap. 2) ian: I'd rather drink coffee made from civet cat shit than to taste that crap (vegemite). 3) random tourist: let me have some of that vegemite! *spreads some vegemite thinly on a piece of bread, then eats it* *chokes, then vomits, then passes out.* some australian: poor fella. I feel sorry for him. *starts eating vegemite, then proceeds to hum the "happy little vegemite" jingle.*
Ozman
Salty brown paste offered by muscle-bound bread salesmen in Brussles to Australians, often in the form of a sandwich.
Example: Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said, "I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover!"
