Thank you, Hugh Jackman. For finally showing the Americans what us Aussies have been trying to tell them for years. Everytime I see a vegemite taste test done wrong I just shake my head.
I'm Canadian (lucky to have a few Aussie friends who introduced me to vegemite) and I'm heading down to the kitchen to have a slice right now. 2:01am...but now I have a craving.
THANK YOU ! Oh my god. I face palm so hard when I see videos like "Americans try Vegemite for the first time". They just get a giant spoon, shove it in the Vegemite, then eat it and say "eeewww gross, how do Australians eat this!?". Thank you Hugh.
Noodliest Or get some huge scoop on the knife and spread it an inch thick on their bread and then go all "aaaaaaaah yuck!" and I'm like, the inch-thick vegemite requires specialist training! You can't just glob it on!
Noodliest I'm Australian and personally I like it either way in the video or how the Americans you face palm too eat it when testing. I don't prefer butter though, just the Vegemite.
@@TheDunestrider was on an Aussie tour trip, bus driver was telling us about Australia and he said now here's the Australian National Anthem. Aussies have a great sense of humour
Meanwhile in Australia there’s a family sitting around the table eating vegimite out of the jar with a spoon and one of the kids just asked his brother to pass the salt.
Vegemite is terrible, wish people from Aus would stop making a big deal out of it, not many people in Aus even eats Vegemite anymore such a stale old stereotype .
I actually went and made some this time... the only bread i had tho was helgas... so it wasnt perfect.. it clumped in the crevices. gotta have it with wonder white or tip top
I'm Australian and I can understand why foreigners don't like vegemite, It's salty and has a unusual taste, making that enough to turn anybody outside of Australia off, when trying it for the first time. But it's kind of like when you drink coffee for the first time, most likely you won't enjoy it black, at first you'll have to start with something more tame like a latte or a cappuccino, hopefully this analogy helped you understand why we like it so much. I'm a well seasoned vegemite consumer and that's why some of us can eat it straight out of the jar.
It's just because we're all used to seeing him in X-Men where he completely masks his accent with that neutral and gruff northern US one. So it's jarring to hear his natural speaking voice that so much different and so clearly accented.
I'm born and raised american, never heard anything about vegemite until a few weeks ago. I ordered some online, and i'm addicted to the stuff. I've been putting it on all my sandwiches and I also sometimes just eat it straight out of the jar. It's really good. If you taste too much at once it will overwhelm your palate and make you hate the stuff. Vegemite is also great for cooking as it provides the perfect umami savoriness that's found in asian dishes.
>"eat it straight out of the jar" >"if you taste too much at once it will overwhelm your palate and make you hate the stuff" Umm...when you say "eat it straight out of the jar", do you mean in portions similar to what Hugh Jackman demonstrated as the "maximum"? Like, little sample spoon size?
+SamuraiPie8111 It's like hot sauce! You will absolutely have to go to the hospital if you drink a glass of it, but a little bit on some rice or meat is great.
Matty D well i hope cause there are so many awesome variations of bread out there. but right know in this video and as i have seen in australia myself, you very often eat this "raw" toast
I was in the Marines and training in Australia for a few days. We got Australian MREs out in the field. We didn't know what to do with the Vegemite, so we would just squirt some in our mouths, or put a bunch on crackers. The facial expressions were priceless; it was basically like putting a bunch of lemon and salt into your mouth. If I ever get the chance I will try it sparingly on toast.
Hugh is just a sweet, soft cinnamon roll. I love how he goes and has the drummer try it just because he thought he might want some. Such a lovely and considerate fella!
Couple of comments about his accent so for the record - there's three main styles of Australian-English; firstly is "Broad" - Steve Irwin was an example of this style of accent as is Crocodile Dundee and is usually found in more rural or outback areas, second is "General" - this is spoken by Hugh in above clip and also the Hemsworth brothers and Ruby Rose and is the most common and found in general suburban areas, third is "Cultivated" - and this is more seen in Kate Winslets accent or Rose Byrne and a few politicians and is usually spoken by those in cities or higher socioeconomic areas and has more of the Queens English mixed into certain pronunciations of Australian-English. 😊 Much like with any other English speaking country, we have variations of our accents too.
And of course we all like to go full 'broad' at the drop of a hat, because sometimes, ya mate is just a galah or you need to shout 'you bloody rippa' :)
nextpkfr Well of course he'll be telling them about Drop Bears, it's very important that any visitors to Australia are informed about the potential dangers and appropriate precautions. We shouldn't be keeping the existence of Drop Bears secret, what are you suggesting?!
Weird kid The X-Men (Wolverine included) and Spider-man's MOVIE rights don't belong to Marvel, they sold them to Fox and Sony respectively when they needed money (before being bought by Disney). Which is why there are 2 different versions of Quicksilver and his sister, one on the Fox movies and this new one on Age of Ultron (where they couldn't even say the word "mutant"). Which is why, so far, those 3 "universes" can't mix, at least while the contracts last.

I’m American and after years of curiosity I finally bought a jar online and had it shipped to me all the way in California. Not gonna lie, first taste/smell I wasn’t crazy about it, and I consider myself an adventurous eater. Complete opposite of picky. But like others have said it’s definitely an acquired taste. Slowly but surely though vegemite won me over. I literally had vegemite and butter on ciabatta bread this morning for breakfast and split it with my 2yr old nephew. I’ve also been experimenting and have found that a little bit in top ramen/cup noodles is amazing! Gives it a beef-adjacent succulent flavor to the broth. Also vegemite and cream cheese on bagels and toast is killer (especially with flavored cream cheese like chive & onion). Anyway I’m obviously a convert. I recommend everyone not only try it but give it some time and play around with it in the kitchen. Chances are you won’t like it at first but you will end up loving it.
Mate, you're SO close to an Aussie staple. Vegemite and Cheese Toasty. You get your bread, butter it, spread the Vegemite and you put on a slice of Tasty Cheese. NOT AMERICAN CHEESE! And then you toast the whole sandwich (grill, skillet, sandwich press, whatever means, it doesn't matter) just until the cheese has melted. Wait until it's cooled enough that you can eat it, but NEVER let it get cold.
Also you can tell Jimmy genuinely liked it more this time because he took another bite at the end @3:34. If he still hated it he would have just kept talking to Hugh to distract him so he wouldn't have to eat anymore of it. Now the real test is getting Higgins to change his mind cause he really hated it the first time he tried it even more than Jimmy did.
Maaate! Vegemite on toast with a poached egg? Omg the best thing since slice bread! I actually got the idea off the picture on the Vegemite jar - granted it looks a little different but it still tastes amazing! xD
Gilbert Flowerface I have promite as well. I only just got into Vegemite on toast just last Australia day. Before I couldn't stand the saltiness. It definitely is something to get used to :)
Danielle Campbell - I assume I like both.. I have just always eaten promite.. I also like the consistency of it.. This isn't reality but in my headdd, promite is better on hot toast with butter and then maybe add whatever you like.. cheese is popular.. and vegemite might be better on soft bread.. but I don't think I have put promite on bread without it toasted so yea.. back to my younger days.. I google imaged egg and vegemite.. there's some really yummy looking pictures I won't lie lol, the first one is a yummy looking poached egg and there was a hot boiled egg with dipping toast.. pretty decent.
Jess TheSapling cool, but I'm a Kiwi as well, and I still think that UK marmite (had it when I was travelling there) is disgusting and vegemite is crap cause vegemite
Awesome now teach the rest in the states how to eat it. And bet ya more people will like it. Its not like peanut butter tiny little bit goes a long way great to watch this now spread it around
I’m glad that he showed how to actually spread Vegemite properly. But at the same time, I think us Aussies have to take at least a tiny bit of blame around Vegemite’s notoriety, as we do like pranking people with it by telling them to do it like Nutella.
🤣 Nope. I’m not taking the blame for that 🤣 Americans should do their homework work about other cultures food. They assume we spread it like Nutella because it LOOKS like Nutella. I’ve never seen an English or German person eat it from the jar with a spoon 🥄 who told the yanks to do that? No one!
Hugh is right. I'm the only American i'm personally aware of who enjoys vegemite. you start with a little, and as you grow to like it, THEN you put more on.
Thanks Hugh. Thanks from every Australian.

I didn't realise how strong Hugh Jackman's Australian accent is
not really in my opinion, he's has like the normal australian accent... how u ever seen the classic aussie accent cos gosh thats strong
It’s the cultivated accent, strong is the broad or ‘bogan’ accent.
@@davids5566 Hugh's got a standard accent, cultivated is more like Geoffrey Rush

Jimmy especially he's very false at times his laugh is very fake
***** 🙌😎
Guy Man Ridiculous comparison. Nutella is a sweet spread. Vegemite isn't.
joelperkovich It's the realisation that they've lost something to make fun of about us...
Myles Steve yea his very fake during most interviews
Finally!!!! The right way to eat vegemite.
I have been waiting for this basically my whole life. HUGH JACKMAN YOU SAVE AUSTRALIA AND VEGEMITE.
I’m American and after years of curiosity I finally bought a jar online and had it shipped to me all the way in California. Not gonna lie, first taste/smell I wasn’t crazy about it, and I consider myself an adventurous eater. Complete opposite of picky. But like others have said it’s definitely an acquired taste. Slowly but surely though vegemite won me over. I literally had vegemite and butter on ciabatta bread this morning for breakfast and split it with my 2yr old nephew. I’ve also been experimenting and have found that a little bit in top ramen/cup noodles is amazing! Gives it a beef-adjacent succulent flavor to the broth. Also vegemite and cream cheese on bagels and toast is killer (especially with flavored cream cheese like chive & onion). Anyway I’m obviously a convert. I recommend everyone not only try it but give it some time and play around with it in the kitchen. Chances are you won’t like it at first but you will end up loving it.
Mate, you're SO close to an Aussie staple.
Vegemite and Cheese Toasty.
You get your bread, butter it, spread the Vegemite and you put on a slice of Tasty Cheese. NOT AMERICAN CHEESE! And then you toast the whole sandwich (grill, skillet, sandwich press, whatever means, it doesn't matter) just until the cheese has melted. Wait until it's cooled enough that you can eat it, but NEVER let it get cold.
Hugh seems like a really nice man
Direct from the vats at the XXXX beer brewery at Milton in Brisbane.
and made in the factory in south Melbourne.
It would be high treason to waste good beer slops.
Port Melbourne.
Nothin better than an cold Milton mango and a 4x
Helll yeeeaaa scrape up that yeast extract bois
Hugh Jackman is such a nice guy
🎶He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich🎶
Also you can tell Jimmy genuinely liked it more this time because he took another bite at the end @3:34. If he still hated it he would have just kept talking to Hugh to distract him so he wouldn't have to eat anymore of it. Now the real test is getting Higgins to change his mind cause he really hated it the first time he tried it even more than Jimmy did.
died at "Vegemite. Yeast extract."
yup sounds like he's doing a commercial lol
Is made from the yeast extract left over during the beer brewing process.
1:30 you're welcome
Maaate! Vegemite on toast with a poached egg? Omg the best thing since slice bread! I actually got the idea off the picture on the Vegemite jar - granted it looks a little different but it still tastes amazing! xD
Danielle Campbell same here but with Avo
Gilbert Flowerface I have promite as well. I only just got into Vegemite on toast just last Australia day. Before I couldn't stand the saltiness. It definitely is something to get used to :)
Danielle Campbell - I assume I like both.. I have just always eaten promite.. I also like the consistency of it..
This isn't reality but in my headdd, promite is better on hot toast with butter and then maybe add whatever you like.. cheese is popular.. and vegemite might be better on soft bread.. but I don't think I have put promite on bread without it toasted so yea.. back to my younger days..
I google imaged egg and vegemite.. there's some really yummy looking pictures I won't lie lol, the first one is a yummy looking poached egg and there was a hot boiled egg with dipping toast.. pretty decent.

HAA have you even tried Vegemite mate???? O.o
No matter where I travel around the world, I always bring a little jar with me.
Oi oi oi!
And I still call me mum on the phone...
Hugh is just so natural. Lol
This is the difference between vegemite and marmite - marmite is just as bad when you follow this method
Adam Halley-Prinable You got it round the wrong way, vegemite is literal crap, marmite is good .... NZ marmite is good, uk marmite is filth.
UK marmite is all i've had, and it is indeed filth
+cloudsymph nah as a kiwi living in the UK. UK marmite is better but nothing beats NZ vegemite. (and promite can go die)
Jess TheSapling cool, but I'm a Kiwi as well, and I still think that UK marmite (had it when I was travelling there) is disgusting and vegemite is crap cause vegemite
3:21 Oh Snap😂😂😂😂
oh snap
"Oh snap" was the best part
I'm an Indian living in Australia, I use a little bit more of Vegemite and I love it..
Wait until you try vegemite chocolate..
***** That stuff tastes terrible
***** I love both vegemite and chocolate but know that's just disgusting
***** It's just like salted caramel chocolate
Tried it a few hours ago, it's alright actually. Better than I thought it would be
Eating Vegemite chocolate now it's nice ,could have stronger Vegemite taste though.
2:58 They both just broke their diet and/or fast... That's why Hugh wants to give away the toast haha
Hugh's flying the flag for us Aussies. Thank you for showing everyone how it's done.
I’m Australian, finally someone shows American’s how to eat vegemite the right way.
I'm Australian and can eat vegemite from the jar.
same
I think they changed the recipe and toned it down a bit. If you did that when I was a kid it would take the skin off the roof of your mouth.
lancer D Oh it still does, I just like it that way.
Maybe you're just getting old and battle worn and it seems that way
Queenslander!!! :P
PS Same, half a jar in one sitting YUMMMM
come Hugh Jackman; humble vegemite merchant of Hollywood
Thank you Hugh, you've done a great service to our country. May the world now try Vegemite the way the Yeast Gods intended.
Awesome now teach the rest in the states how to eat it. And bet ya more people will like it. Its not like peanut butter tiny little bit goes a long way great to watch this now spread it around
2:27 max size of vegemite to be spread on toast
In the UK we have both marmite and vegemite. Both are sublime.
Hugh Jackman... truly a National Treasure
fun fact its made form left over brewers yeast extract sooo its made from beer leftovers :P
I just want to thank Hugh Jackman for existing
I’m glad that he showed how to actually spread Vegemite properly.
But at the same time, I think us Aussies have to take at least a tiny bit of blame around Vegemite’s notoriety, as we do like pranking people with it by telling them to do it like Nutella.
🤣 Nope. I’m not taking the blame for that 🤣
Americans should do their homework work about other cultures food. They assume we spread it like Nutella because it LOOKS like Nutella. I’ve never seen an English or German person eat it from the jar with a spoon 🥄 who told the yanks to do that? No one!
Is it weird that I eat Vegemite with a spoon haha
Turtle Soap cheers mate. I eat vagemite without any bread. Its like alcohol but a bit more salty. They taste better after a while inside your mouth.
Turtle Soap The fact that you can do that without vomiting is an achievement... (FYI I am an Australian)
Turtle Soap fuck man isn't it delicious? People keep saying how hugh jackman is doing it is the right way, you've got the right way :D
Yep definitely weird! But hey, you do you my friend! :)
Turtle Soap I do that too! I sometimes even mix it with some vanilla ice cream, sweet n salty, mmmm.
Top thing that makes every aussie cringe
WHEN YOU PUT A WHOLE DOLLOP OF VEGEMITE ON!
Oh for fucks sake, right?!
or when they eat a whole spoonful 😩😩
i can now sleep knowing America finally knows how to properly eat our Vegemite! TY HUGH
1:21 my favourite part
All the relieved Australians in the comments section :)
I'm afraid the same can't be done for marmite though. That is just atrocious.
Onkzee marmites even better
Onkzee Marmite, meh, but Promite ♥
***** Agreed, marmite is an offence to vegemite, have never been able to quite figure out what i hate about it tho
Onkzee British Marmite sucks, try kiwi marmite, its much better!
Mackenzie Langrell-Read how is it different??
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how good Hugh looks in a suit 🔥😍
THANK YOU HUGH JACKAMN
Hugh is right. I'm the only American i'm personally aware of who enjoys vegemite. you start with a little, and as you grow to like it, THEN you put more on.
