Americans Try Vegemite for the FIRST TIME! - Cheesy Scrolls, Toast & MORE! (Melbourne)

Editorial Summary

In Melbourne, Australia, two creators attempt to taste Vegemite for the first time after years of avoiding it. They begin by performing a smell test, noting a scent reminiscent of beef gravy and licorice. Their first attempt involves spreading the thick paste on buttered toast, which they find overwhelmingly salty and difficult to enjoy. To find a better balance, they prepare a homemade Vegemite cheese roll, which receives much higher praise for its subtle flavor and cheesy texture. The tasting continues with Vegemite spaghetti, a dish they describe as lackluster and tasting mostly like buttered noodles with a musty undertone. Finally, they try Vegemite chicken wings marinated in honey and soy sauce. While the chicken is cooked well, the creators find the intense Vegemite flavor unpleasant, comparing the taste to a tire on fire. They conclude that while they might be open to trying the spread again, the key is to use much smaller amounts to avoid the overpowering saltiness.
