Grrr!! April can't wait to hear whether you like i!</p> <p>I agree with others - best way to try vegemite is on toast w butter......mmmm. Just a thin scraping though!!! Or vegemite &amp; cheese on toast. Or vegemite &amp; avocado on toast. Think I'll have that for brekky tomorrow!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223983 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:27:47 +0000 Theresa 223983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks An - I shall have a look next time I'm there! Yeast is one of the easier allergies they have to live with so its not that bad LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223978 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:24:51 +0000 An 223978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh drat to the yeast allegy. I just looked at the jar (should I admit I'm sitting here putting it on crackers since reading this thread LOL!!) and it does have yeast and yeast extract in it. I just bought it at Woolies in the health food isle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223976 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:16:19 +0000 Theresa 223976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An they both have yeast allergy so I've never even looked into alternatives because I assumed they would all be yeast based! I will have to have a look though because *I* wouldn't mind trying it with my eggies LOL (I am much better avoiding all those nasties myself so eat pretty much the same as my kids, but with a few little indulgences!) </p> <p>Where did you buy it? My small town often struggles with these sorts of things but if it was a supermarket I may be able to get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223974 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:12:12 +0000 An 223974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa, yum, that sounds good!! Can your girls eat Aussie Mite? A little boy at my son's child care has it because he can't have Vegemite. It apparently has no artificial color or preservatives and is gluten free. I bought some because I generally try to avoid colors and preservatives and it tastes quite good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223972 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:10:58 +0000 marianna 223972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How thoughtful! I've never tried Vegemite but I bet I'd love it! And TimTams are delicious... yum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223970 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:06:30 +0000 Theresa 223970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww April and Tam - big hugs from me for the wonderful generosity you've both shown - it warms my heart!!</p> <p>My fave way to have Vegemite is on warm toast with butter AND an egg on top - but the egg has to be cooked so its still runny on the inside! So lightly poached or fried... you cut into it and the egg yolk and vegemite together are just superb... *drooling*</p> <p>It is very much an acquired taste though... and due to all their food sensitivities, my girls are incredibly un-Australian because they have never even tried it LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223953 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 04:37:43 +0000 An 223953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, nice one Tam and April. Do you know how hard you just made it for me to bypass the Tim Tam isle when I was doing my shopping!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223947 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 04:21:21 +0000 Sally 223947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mae - Its a very salty spread made from yeast extract. very similar to marmite if you know what I mean. very popular in Australia and NZ. It looks like chocolate and a lot of people get fooled by this but it is an acquired taste. I love it with butter on toast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223940 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:55:42 +0000 Mae 223940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can someone please explain what Vegemite is? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223919 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:16:47 +0000 taylor 223919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww A little kindness goes such a long way. How thoughtful on both your parts!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223899 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:50:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 223899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was really nice of Tam- even though I personally think Vegemite is disgusting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223896 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:49:01 +0000 Lena 223896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, you're so sweet! April, enjoy your goodies. </p> <p>I rediscovered Vegemite last year. I've liked it just fine years before, and I enjoy it SO much more now. Besides toast, I also use it in soups occasionally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223774 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 23:00:37 +0000 Beth 223774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, you're right! Pepperidge Farms has them out seasonally every year. Actually, I think it's around late fall/winter time, but it's been awhile since I've looked for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223763 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:44:02 +0000 annagybe 223763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it was a few months ago, Haven't looked for them since. I still have some uneaten girl scout cookies, not the biggest sweet person. I remember them being associated with Pepperbridge Farms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223754 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:33:32 +0000 Maya 223754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Recently Anna? I think they were limited edition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223753 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:31:58 +0000 annagybe 223753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen Tim Tams at Target in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223748 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:11:57 +0000 Maya 223748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the Tim Tam slam. It was fun the first time, but I didn't like how soggy it made the cookie...er, biscuit...whatever...</p> <p>I much prefer my Tim Tams nice and crunchy. Either way please have one on my behalf. Ever since the snack cupboard discussion I have been craving them like mad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223747 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:08:43 +0000 Megan 223747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Vegemite before, April? LIke Thunalata says, it is something you either love or hate....I think it's the most disgusting food on earth (which is very un-Australian!) but Tim Tams are awesome- definitely try the Tim Tam straw idea....YUMMMM </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223745 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:07:14 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 223745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is Vegemite the same as Marmite? I suspect it is. If so, you love it or you hate it...</p> <p>I love it and would go with the thinly smeared on buttered toast option. Also adore it on top of peanut butter on toast. My 3 month old golden retriever puppy, Daisy, loves it dissolved into hot water and stirred into her food. When I was little I loved it dissolved in hot water and drunk as a hot drink, but not sure I'd go for it like that these days!</p> <p>What kindness and generosity of spirit shown by you both - April and Tam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223734 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:42:46 +0000 puffenstuff 223734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yummy! Two of Australia's best exports there. Vegemite is also really nice on wholegrain crackers and fresh warm bread with butter. I also have mine with grilled cheese on top. You have to have it with butter though it's pretty strong on it's own. I know people also use it in stews/casseroles to add flavour to the gravy - there are some recipes on their website<br /> <a href="http://www.vegemite.com.au/vegemite/page?siteid=vegemite-prd&#038;locale=auen1&#038;PagecRef=651" rel="nofollow">http://www.vegemite.com.au/veg.....gecRef=651</a></p> <p>As for Tim Tam's, I would suggest trying the "Tim Tam Straw" - you bite a little corner off on each diagonal then get your cup of coffee/hot chocolate/baileys and try to drink through the Tim Tam like a straw. Makes it disintegrate a little but it's delicious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223728 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:32:45 +0000 Sharon 223728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, you're going to love it, April!<br /> The trick with Vegemite is to spread it THINLY, as it is very strong. Personally, I like a thin smear spread over hot buttered toast. Yum! I mostly eat Vegemite at breakfast time, but as a child I got packed off to school with Vegemite and lettuce sandwiches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223727 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:31:59 +0000 Maya 223727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a coincidence. I just commissioned Tam to export some Tim Tams for me.</p> <p>I love vegemite. A thin layer over butter on toast does the trick for me. I don't know if it indicates a B vitamin deficiency or what, but sometimes I just get a hankering for that stuff.</p> <p>Yay for YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223717 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:11:49 +0000 Angie 223717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's YLF's global and hospitable spirit in action - from both Tam AND April :)</p> <p>Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-vegemite-and-timtams-from-tam#post-223716 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:08:13 +0000 April 223716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How very sweet -- our own Tam, aka yublocka, sent me a package from Australia containing a jar of Vegemite and a package of double chocolate TimTam cookies. I acted as shipping agent for some of Tam's U.S. purchases and this was a thank you.</p> <p>Not necessary, Tam, but much appreciated. It was lovely to come home from work and see a package from Oz on the doorstep! </p> <p>I will await suggestions from our Aussie ladies on how to use Vegemite... </p>
