Green ones are the best with a pimento inside and yum with a Vodka Martini

prune Juice. always thought it was something 110 year old people drank to keep themselves regular and for some reason I expected it to taste like medicine.
It was on sale for $1 a quart at the store this week so I got some and...:drool:

Wait, I'm a stupid Yank- what's the difference? I'd Google it but I'd rather just use Monta-Google.

One is a yeast extract that tastes awful and is consumed mostly by Australians, the other is a yeast extract that is an acquired taste and is consumed mostly by the inhabitants of the UK and Ireland , you can't google the taste difference you have to experience it.
I suspect I tried both before, but the memory was so traumatic I suppressed it.
Either that or I'm remembering that time I ate the contents of an ash tray. Hm.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
The problem is (as far as I've been told, and I'm aware) that many from the U.S. aren't too sure what to do with a spread that isn't sweet. I hear it's rather uncommon to find peanut butter without sugar, for example, and that you need to go to a health food shop to get it.
Here in NZ, where you can get peanut butter *without* sugar (thank god - the stuff with sugar is terrible), people rather like vegemite. Marmite has added sugar - so it's for the more... might I venture... faint of heart. Marmite is to vegemite what a kiss is to making love. It might be good, but the real experience, the real thing is the latter. Sure, it might be a little awkward and strangely unpleasant the first time, but soon enough you know you couldn't live without it.
Oh yeah - the *other* problem is - people who have never had it before, really don't know how much to use. Often it's thought that you're supposed to use it like a regular spread, as you would jam or peanut butter. But as you can see in the following picture, you're sposed to spread it rather thinly. (Though, I like it thick
)

Your right about the quantity problem I saw some people on the interwebs spreading it on like peanut butter in thick globs, there is a reason it comes in a teeney tiny jar
Vegimite also isn't as salty as Marmite, but I guess it depends what you are raised with

Hmm.. we get the really big jars - the 500g ones. May last us about.. 3 weeks at the most. (Between 3 people)Your right about the quantity problem I saw some people on the interwebs spreading it on like peanut butter in thick globs, there is a reason it comes in a teeney tiny jar

Me too, probably twice as much as youve got on in that pic

Something to do with growing up with it I spose, huh?
Probably the same reason I love Dutch licorice (or, drop) whereas most people can't seem to stomach it (y'know the double- or triple-salt stuff that has so much salt that it tingles your tongue). I could eat those all day, just they're so expensive here!
It's not that unusual. Most stores carry an unsweetened version of peanut/almond/cashew/hazelnut butter. We also have the usual stuff like hummus and other savoury spreads, not just sweet stuff.
If Vegemite is the salty one that's what I tried before. Maybe I should hunt down some Marmite.
