Unlike what is seen in many videos of non-Australians trying Vegemite, where they put entire spoonfuls of the spread on top of pieces of toast, Australians have a particular way that is commonly done. Many Aussies eat Vegemite spread thinly on a buttered slice of toast as a breakfast food with a morning coffee. I was shocked to see that there are some slight variations in this food; Grandma Moses Bakery and Cafe have an option to have butter and Vegemite on a bagel of your choice.
Vegemite is something that is deeply connected to the history of the Australian nation and its history with the British Empire. Vegemite was invented in Melbourne in 1923, when an Australian food manufacturer asked for a product to be made that was similar to British Marmite. The nutritious spread is also used as a flavor enhancer for soups and stews. Vegemite has become synonymous with the land and culture of Australia and is said to “taste like Australia.”
