When on my trip to Israel last year I took my faithful jar of Vegemite along for the ride. I wanted to see what the middle east would think of it after having shared it with friends all over Europe and the US already. With mixed results from previous attempts I was hopeful my new friends in Israel would take to this aussie favourite…
If you’ve not had enough vegemite then hit up the Vegemite Challenge link above and see what my other willing participants thought.
When I was working in a hostel in Buenos Aires I would see loads of Aussies carrying pots of Vegemite. I came to the idea that it is a bit like dulce de leche for Argentines – something we simply can not be without, even when travelling.
Martina, I’d say you are spot on there. It’s that little bit of home we can bring with us everywhere and it lasts much longer than say chocolate or chips.
To be honest, I have no idea what vegemite is? Is it some sort of spread that you put on your toast something similar to marmite. I am not sure if I will like something like this. How popular is it in Israel?
As a little Vegemite I couldn’t go to school without it.Now living in Israel not sure if I would like the taste again. Anyhow 20 odd years ago I meet an Israeli whom liked it couldn’t wait till I got my next jar from Down Under and another friend said it tasted like tar. Go figure….
Good to see the introduction of Vegemite into Israel, Chris
