Vegimite- an acquired taste! [and Lashes in SD]

[RStar]

Ok, so I tried the Vegimite that Lashbear gave me. I did a little research on it first.

It's made from brewer's yeast spent after the Beer manufacturing prossess.
It came from beer, how bad could it be? The Men Down Under romanticized it. It sounded good to me!

I found a recipe on the Kraft website. Toasted bread, with butter, spread Vegimite on thin (Rob said use sparingly!), then add avocado.

I'll try anything once, I've had Bar-B-que Rattlesnake (tastes just like chicken-really!), chocolate covered ants, snails, squid, tripe, and sushi. I'll try anything once just to say I have. Now I can say I tried vegimite.

But if anything I have ever eaten tasted like it shouldn't be eaten, it was that. I like things spicy, salty, pungent, you name it. I've had stinky cheese that tasted like sweat socks. But this made me come up with a new name for it because of how I felt after I ate it:

Vomite ( I Mite Vomit)

Am I sorry I tried it? Not at all. It was worth the experience. Thanks again to Rob and Greg! I know millions of people must enjoy it (though I can't imagine how) but it's a taste that's not for me. Please don't let it stop you from trying it.

So, did you try it? What did you think? Inquiring taste buds want to know!
