Always blows me out when people that aren't from Australia try Vegemite and try too much. You only need a small amount but yep it is an acquired taste we grow up with so we love it. It's savory. The condensed milk however fill the freaking spoon man it's gorgeous. Great review as usual
@davestuddert4392 Жыл бұрын
Agreed mate. they smear it on like axle grease & wonder why it tastes horrible. Dude on the video put just about the right amount for the piece of biscuit he ate. IMO he should've put more condensed milk into his coffee to negate the bitterness. Never heard of "Bell" brand tea. Tetleys or Lipton yes.

Of all of the stuff in this, it really seems like the condiments in the tubes is a really good idea. Very slightly heavier than the little retort pouches that US MRE stuff comes in (like the peanut butter, cheese spread, jam, etc)... but resealable, so the soldier could use it through the day, rather than needing to finish it off right when they open it. I know US MREs are meant to only be a single meal... but clearly some of the stuff is meant to be saved for snacking later (or recovery)... and having little condiments be available for both the meal *and* the snacking.recovery seems like such a great idea.

As for the Yeast Extract (most probably Vegemite) it is an acquired taste. Most of us aussies are bought up on this from when we start to eat solid food as babies. TIP -- it is a spread, so spread it on some biscuits or cracker or some bread, BUT BE SPARING WITH IT ie NOT TOO THICK otherwise you will not appreciate it. Remember, it is a acquired taste. We also call it our "health food of a nation" and if you do not have a jar of this in your pantry, then you can't call yourself an aussie!!!! Cheers, Mate.
