kscarbel2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I enjoy a hard day's work, but one simply can not start the day off right without Vegemite on toast. However, this month I ran out and had to substitute with UK (Unilever) Marmite. I've long thought that Unilever produces their Marmite by purchasing 55-gallon drums of Vegemite from Oz and diluting it 50 percent with water. What they're producing amounts to a criminal act. Not having had a trip to SEA recently, a Kiwi friend is bringing me a case of New Zealand's Sanitarium brand Marmite, an acceptable alternative to Vegemite, but until then...........if Cameron had any scruples, he wouldn't allow Unilever Marmite to be sold.Related reading - http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/40897-tim-maikshilo-isnt-fooling-me-its-the-vegemite/?hl=vegemite Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43534-vegemite/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 would you like me to pop some in the mail ?????I want to warmly thank you for your kind offer! Though NZ Sanitarium Marmite isn't Vegemite, I can get along with that. Often on the road, I keep a jar of Vegemite (or Sanitarium Marmite) in my luggage at all times. But that Unilever Marmite in the UK, you have to feel for BC Mack and all the other blokes in Great Britain existing on that all their life. It's criminal.If Tim was savvy, he'd become the U.S. distributor for Vegemite and/or Sanitarium Marmite. Presently, I don't believe there is one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43534-vegemite/#findComment-320162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on toast, and use a generous amount of butter to get a good even coverage.

I'm surprised to hear someone outside southeast PA knows scrapple. You must have had some at the Bensalem breakfast meeting. My lovely and gracious wife Victoria is from upstate NY, and until she came to live with me at age 29, had never heard of scrapple. Nevertheless, I cannot convince her to like it. In her defense, I had not tried salt potatoes ( a regional favorite from her part of the world) until she brought me some. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43534-vegemite/#findComment-320193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Learned to love scrapple when I lived/worked in northeast PA.. And like the salt potatoes also being originally from upstate NY..But I still do not like pinto beans or the many greens served here in the south.. Guess that is why my wife calls me a "Dumb Butt Yankee!!!" 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43534-vegemite/#findComment-320209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Take a pack of scrapples from a shelf on Sunday morning, open it and put some Vegemite on... Ughhh!Don't rmember seeing any of Vegemite or Marmite branded foods in stores overhere.Probably should look better. Or maybe it's time to put glasses on? 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43534-vegemite/#findComment-320243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 You blokes lost me at Vegemite and Marmite. I have no idea what you are going on about now. Does it involve alcohol as in a drinking?
