    For sure. From what I’ve heard, that stuff is vile — or an acquired taste at best!

    I tried it years ago and was in Luann’s camp. I like horseradish, so who knows now I might like it. Maybe Quill is telling the family he is an acquired taste.

    Nothing like the yeast extract by-product when making beer.

    To approximate the taste, try sucking on a boullion cube.

    Spread it thin, on top of butter. It’s tasty that way.

    Apropos of nothing in particular, we used to refer to horseradish sauce as horse rubbish sauce in our house. None of us cared for it.

    A guy at work, about ten years back, used to scoop it out of the Jar with his fingers. Those of us nearby reeled from the aroma.

    Too bad Quill isn’t in Scandinavia – he could send her lutefisk. It’s probably in the same category as vegemite (but less tasty, I hear). Anybody out there with 1st hand experience?

    Its called Marmite in the UK. Probably because Ma might like it but Pa probably won’t.

    They’re ALL liars. I’ve got a jar of vegemite that was sent to me from friends in Victoria back in 1999. Since it smells the same as it did when I got it, how do you know if it’s gone bad? It tastes like…..take an egg, break it into an old shoe and bury it under a chicken coop for a week….

    Anyone up for some vegemite sangers?

    I’ve tasted Marmite and lived to regret doing so. I have thereafter avoided Vegemite, though it is said to be less bad…. Quill’s test is insidious.

    Of course, Vegemite is widely available in the US, so at best he sent them an un-unique gift. It’s okay, though; it’s the thought that counts.

    I just got back from vacation in Australia, where at the hotel Vegemite was served at the breakfast buffet in thise little capsules like they serve the jelly and honey. I brought back a bunch of those. It’s a strong taste, yes, but one can get used to it. Basically, it’s very salty, which just makes ya want more beer. :) I stir it into cooked rice or pasta, soups and stews to give the dish a little extra oomph.

    Re:Brad Until he seals the deal with Toni, it’s most appropriate for him to spend time with his parents, and she with hers. (Toni’s parents DO exist, right?)

    I prefer Promite. Toast bread, put on butter and Promite, toast a bit more. Much better that way. Oh, try melting some cheese on top too. Promite gravy is also good.

    I hereby deem Vegemite to be totally and forever ‘trayf’.-—————-Since Vegemite has no animal components, it could not possibly be trayf on its own. It would be parve. The only thing I can think of that would keep it from getting a hechsher would be the production/packaging method—do the glass jars touch trayfeh lubricants? Is trayf processed in the same plant? I’m looking at some of the images of the jar (Bing search) and don’t see a hechsher on any of the labels.

    Having both corn and soy components, however, Vegemite certainly is not Pesadich.

    Perhaps Michael ben Avram (wink wink) can shed some more light on the issue.
