they are both literal peasant food made during times of poverty for the poor and worse-off. if you eat this "food" you are pathetic.

:^)

>>5584430
this could be applied to a vast number of recipes. a lot of them I'm sure you enjoy very much so what the fuck are you talking about?

PS: i don't even like yeast extract

>>5584430

Does that mean you think people are pathetic for eating stuff like beans, hearth breads, potatoes, pasta, etc.?

All the best food is peasant food.

>>5584382
i prefer marmite to vegimite but the best thing is Marmite XO

I remember being edgy and 16 too.

You're a bunch of morons. The correct answer is neither one, like with democrats and republicans... NEITHER ONE, this is 2014 choosing between two makes no sense.

If you vote into the two party system then you're a certified tool.

I've never tried the XO variant. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

>>5584591
What if every one of Marmite's policies line up precisely with my beliefs?

>>5584594
You tell us what would happen? If their policies line up with yours and it tastes like shit would you still eat it like a party boy tool? Of course you would you fucking tool!

>>5584603

Oh boy, you sure showed him. I hope nobody else crosses you, that was tough to watch.

Good when you're sucking down some made in moscow cabbage roll you'll remmember what I wrote you fucking tool!

My nigga. This stuff is glorious

Bump.

>>5584382
I'm British, so quite obviously Marmite. Vegemite has this weird sweet thing going on.

Marmite, without question. Vegemite has a slightly bitter taste.

i fucking love Marmite, Vegemite was OK I guess but not the same. I'm pretty sure whichever one you have access to and eat first is the one you'll favor.

>>5584382
Neither. They both taste like shit.

Any other vegetable extract is lesser vegetable extract. You motherfuckers think you enjoy yeast? I fucking live and breath for that glorious brown salty money shot all over my chin so I can call it Daddy while licking my greasy thrush covered lips clean.

Professional-mite for a teaspoon, bitches.

Are people really this stupid?

>>5586058
Reason.
I only eat it by the measuring cup.

NZ Marmite > Vegemite > UK Marmite

Seriously, this stuff is almost half the price. It's a little softer and slightly less salty, but think of the savings!

American here. Marmite was pretty godtier on bologna sandwiches and dissolved in hot water. Ive never had vegemite though. Wanted to pick some up at grocery but its like $8 for a little jar in foreign section. Could I buy in bulk from Amazon or is there an expiration date?

Bump for things ending in "ite."

What's the best use for this stuff? Spreading it on toast? Any good recipes that utilize it?

>>5591228
Marmite makes grilled cheese go from being an okay lunch snack to being a great lunch snack.

It's also quite nice to put in cottage or shepherd's pie.

My favourite yeast extraction

>>5591341

Quality post.

>>5591289

Thanks, I'll try the grilled cheese suggestion.

I'm familiar with shepherd's pie, but not cottage pie. Is it similar?

>>5592022
>Thanks, I'll try the grilled cheese suggestion.
Just to consider: Don't use American cheese. Use rich flavoured cheese like a vintage cheddar.

The difference between cottage and shepherd's pie is that cottage is made with beef and shepherd's is made with lamb, aside from that they're exactly the same in every other way.

Oh. Okay.

Everyone knows Bovril is superior to both.

I've never had either of these, and I'm an American.

Can I even get this in the states?
What do you even put it on/with?

>>5584580
I prefer Vegemite - but whats XO like? Would it make me like Marmite?

>>5586903
You could try boiling it up to create it more dense in flavor?

>>5593174
Well if you never had it before, try it on toast with butter (butter first, then X-mite)
The grill cheese suggestion was good. If you find you can't possibly finish a jar within 5-10 years, just use it as a broth/stock replacement in soups and stuff.

>>5593174
>Can I even get this in the states?

Fellow American here. I've never had any problem finding it; most supermarkets stock it. I've seen it in the isle where they have bullion and such, as well as in the British import section.

Bovril, which is a beef extract rather than yeast, is much more difficult to find. I think there is (or maybe was) some kind of ban against importing British beef due to fears of foot and mouth disease or something like that. Of course Bovril wouldn't be a risk because it's cooked so thoroughly, but technically since it contains beef it falls under the ban. I just have family in England send it to me when I run out.

>>5593451
2nding this guy. It's delicious spread on hot buttered toast. Spread a THIN layer on there. Don't slather it on like peanut butter or jam--it's potent, you only need a little.

>>5584382
Bovril.

>>5584430
Just because something was originally meant for the poor or peasants or etc, doesn't make it automatically repulsive as a food.

For example, many years ago, lobsters were considered the "cockroaches of the sea," and were seen as food for the poor. At one point, it was even considered cruel punishment to feed lobster to prisoners.

>>5584430
I bet you eat pizza, pasta, beans, potatoes, breads and tacos some of the cheapest peasant food to make.

>>5584430
Lobster Rolls, Oysters, Shrimp cocktails and I think caviar were all peasant foods.

Vegemite erry day son. Had a vegemite and smoked cheese quesadilla for lunch fucking shit hot

>>5584382

I wouldn't mind trying it but after getting suckered by /ck/ into trying Nutella, I don't want to waste my money.

Mah niggas

>>5595866

Nutella has essentially become an epic meme food, like bacon. Don't get me wrong, there is good bacon out there, but most of the people spouting "BACON" and "everything's better with bacon" are retarded.

This stuff is what adults who like Nutella eat. It's about a trillion times better.

Nope, not falling for your shit again.

The Nutella label reads; "hazelnut spread with skim milk & cocoa" but the reality is it tastes like "chocolate with chocolate & chocolate"...

>>5596532

The stuff I linked actually tastes like hazelnuts, not chocolate frosting. The texture is also a lot different. It's not stringy Nutella. It's got a softer, peanut butter-like texture.

Word of warning: everything from Zingerman's is fucking expensive. You get what you pay for, though.

>>5591341
That's yeast extraction, not yeast infection.

>Anzac cunts voting Vegemite

Keep your marsupial fucking opinions to yourself, criminal scum.

marmite is the best hands down
