Versatile Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Recently I was web hovering in a casual sort of way Sparked by the Copperhead Road references in several songs And (can you believe it) came upon the following modern phenomenon Moonshine made from Vegemite.... :blink: I am still near traumatised and hoping for factual corroboration....

merciful-evans Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 What the hell does it taste like? Its a rich salty yeast based spread. You probably dont have Marmite in America, but it similar to that. Next to that its similar to Bovril, but with a stronger taste. Kids love it. Adults either hate or love it. I tried Vegemite once. It was ok but.... the yeast flavour was like beer yeast. Not lager, but English 'bitter beer'. (I think Billy Connolly had the same take on Vegemite as me). If youve ever walked into pub at midday opening time (an old style pub with wood floorboards) when they are mopping up spilled beer from the night before, it smells of stale beer. That smell is what Vegemite tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 1446847673[/url]' post='1709251']What the hell does it taste like? Yes, I've never heard of it before. But the first time we went south east US, a cafe put some white looking stuff on my plate. " What is that," I asked. Grits, he said. "What's a Grit," I asked? So I very carefully put a tiny bit on my fork and tried it. Neither my wife or I ate any after that. On our Honeymoon in Hawaii they had Poay ( ever how you spell it) and we were at a table of all honeymooners. No one knew what it was and the waiter said don't eat it. It takes a speacial getting used to and most Hawaiians don't eat it. One gal at the table had to try it, and ran off to the restroom to throw up. Lol we were told it tastes just like wallpaper glue!

Digger Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Well it's all Emma's fault! Talking about frying bread in bacon grease! We've just had a long Sunday morning BBQ brekky outside in the sun and cooked the bread on the hotplate after cooking heaps of bacon! (had to make up for yesterday didn't i?) But it's not my fault, it's Emma's for giving me the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'll opt for penal servitude M'lord". (Yippee!) Sorry to sound harsh & uncaring my dear, perhaps you can come here for a holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
