It's like going to Asia and having a few grains of cooked rice dropped into a tablespoonful of soy sauce, then drinking it, and saying "wow that's overpoweringly salty!"
Couple of problems with the Vegemite, toast was a bit under done ,no butter and too much Vegemite, smash a heap of butter onto a hot peice of toast and then just a little Vegemite, is the way to go !
Moreton Bay bug is native to the waters around the northern parts of Australia. There's a similar crustacean called the Balmain bug which is also really available in restaurants. And in Western Australia, the crustacean of choice is marron, a large freshwater crayfish. In inland rivers and dams, there are yabbies (another fresh water crayfish). All worth trying if you like shellfish.
too much Vegemite on toast is akin to too much salt on french fries. Its really good, but you need to find that balance, which for most people is a very thin spread
Yes, I'm going to talk about the Vegemite. Vegemite is an umami flavouring for fat (butter/margarine). It's not Nutella. There's a ratio of bread/toast, fat and Vegemite that needs to be respected. Consider soy sauce, an analogue in terms of umami and salt content. You don't have sushi floating around in a soup of soy , but rather you have a hint of soy, otherwise it becomes a horrible, salty mess.
That was an awful lot of Vegemite for not nearly enough butter. And yes, there are other "recipes" - as you noted, it's an umami flavour and can be added to soups and stews for richness just like a stock cube (what you call a bouillon cube). And Bourke is pronounced "berk" as in "her", not "bork" as in Swedish chef. But at least you picked a good bakery - they're known for their excellent breads and pastries.
It’s pronounced “ Ku gee”, I have toast and Vegemite 3 or times a week for Brekky, darker toast, thinly butter it, and just a smear of Vegemite, not slathered on thickly. I wouldn’t eat it how you guys did it!!!!!, glad you enjoyed Sydney.xxxx
Please next time no matter what country you try something in, get a local to show you how. Personally i'd only eat that much vegemite if i was having cheese on it too. Most people only put little scratchings of it on the toast, also the toast has to be piping hot and then you put a good serve of butter on it and then when that's melted you scratch some vegemite on it.
VEGEMITE ON TOAST= Cook 2 pieces of toast per person , **set toast to medium for best results Take each slice of toast and butter 80% of surface , generous spread ,not heavy Take a table knife , collect equivalent to a finger tip of Vegemite onto knife Dab in centre of your toast Aggressively spread the Vegemite like a thin mist outwards t I wards the edges The Vegemite should be light covering NOT DARK. If you use the Vegemite as a shallow spread and not as a paint, you will discover perfect balance Toast butter Vegemite, have it along with a strong hot cuppa,or tall glass of orange juice
OMG, the amount of vegemite on that toast!!! How did you even put it in your month? I have eaten vegemite all my life. Love vegemite, cheese and lettuce sangas but ALWAYS less is best with Vegemite. Kangaroo is too gamey for my taste and crocodile, yeah nah!
Vegemite on undercooked toast with no butter? Please make sure the toast is brown, there is a generous amount of butter (yes bread without butter is a bit strange here) and then a small amount of Vegemite - literally for Vegemite virgins no more than a pea sized amount and then spread around the toast. Avo toast with Vegemite is amazing.
Oh my gosh, I thought you spread that much Vegemite on as a joke. You NEVER eat that much! That would be like taking a large glass shot of soy sauce. 😲 Toast the bread, spread plenty of butter and a 1/4 or less of what you took.
Vegemite is eaten to taste. You put about 1000% more than needed. You use butter then spread the vegemite very thin from hardly being able to see it and then work your way up for how you like the taste. On bread I make it see through but can also eat a spoon full out of the jar. Near 60 years and never had vegemite on toast. YUK.
oh youre gunna get flogged in the comments re vegemite. toast isnt done enough, must have butter on toast, and your layer of vegemite is too thick, even most of us aussies would bork at that. less is more. try it again with the above and below recommendations and you may find its not as bad as your first experience.
Every Aussie cringed in unison when we saw how much vegemite you put on the toast.
And no butter
It's like going to Asia and having a few grains of cooked rice dropped into a tablespoonful of soy sauce, then drinking it, and saying "wow that's overpoweringly salty!"
@@nickmaguire4914 Americans do it always for some reason...
In the comments to see the collective gasp from Aussies about the amount of Vegemite on the undercooked toast. Love the videos!!
The worst possible way to try Vegemite toast!
Couple of problems with the Vegemite, toast was a bit under done ,no butter and too much Vegemite, smash a heap of butter onto a hot peice of toast and then just a little Vegemite, is the way to go !
This vegemite bit is perfect , typical American, never do their home work
Typical Aussie getting your knickers in a knot over nothing!........and i say that as an Aussie!
The best pavlova is the one your mum / auntie brings to Xmas lunch 😋
I was going to say the same thing.
Yes, my Mums pav doesn't have 90% sugar like from Coles

See every other comment for vegemite critique, but akso bourke is pronounced "berk"
Love getting to experience the food culture 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Who tf uses a spoon to spread vegemite, and then uses a fork to cut bread?? Americans !!!
They use microwaves to boil water
@@DaveOz-mx5oh lol I used to do that if it was for 1 cup. Coz It was faster than kettle. But you learn lessons coz the cup heats up fast also
Vegemite with cheese mate, but scrape most of that vegemite off.

Great video. Delicious couple and delightful food. Yep, vegimite is not for everyone. It’s an acquired taste. 😊
Lambs are cute and fluffy as well...

VEGEMITE ON TOAST=
Cook 2 pieces of toast per person , **set toast to medium for best results
Take each slice of toast and butter 80% of surface , generous spread ,not heavy
Take a table knife , collect equivalent to a finger tip of Vegemite onto knife
Dab in centre of your toast
Aggressively spread the Vegemite like a thin mist outwards t I wards the edges
The Vegemite should be light covering NOT DARK.
If you use the Vegemite as a shallow spread and not as a paint, you will discover perfect balance
Toast butter Vegemite, have it along with a strong hot cuppa,or tall glass of orange juice

Coogee in Sydney is pronounced "coodgee", as in "good". There is another Coogee in Perth which is pronounced "coo" as in the sounds pigeons make.
Hey, if you are crazy enough to eat Vegemite on dry toast and so thickly spread, well your just nuts.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Toast the bread, spread plenty of butter and a 1/4 or less of what you took.
You were right. Vegemite should be diluted, by buttering the toast AND NOT USING SO MUCH!! 😮
MEAT PIES , IT is considered offensive, if your first bite of a meat pie has NO TOMATO SAUCE
. you MUST have sauce on your pie!
Before even watching...came to laugh at the Yanks eating Vegemite completely the wrong way!.. will I be proven wrong?!? 🤔
Just a suggestion.In future don't do a food review, re Vegemite, if you are not willing to eat the substance as advised
You need to be educated on how much Vegemite to use and you also need butter or margarine.
Rule number 1 for eating/cooking kangaroo: rare or at most medium-rare. NEVER more than that, or eat your leather shoe instead for a better taste.
TOO MUCH VEGEMITE
Too too much vegemite you should hardly see it.
Pavlova is a New Zealand desert don't listen to the Aussies because they will try to claim it as there own
You get bugs from the tip of your finger to your elbow brother 🇦🇺🇺🇲
