Pre-Int B Class first Vegemite experience

Name the most controversial Australian food. Still thinking? Well, it is Vegemite, of course!

Vegemite is concentrated yeast extract rich in Vitamin B.

Pre-Intermediate B tasted Vegemite for the first time last week. There were some mixed emotions in the class with most of the students hating Vegemite, some unsure and one or two that actually liked it.

As you can see, the teacher was very generous with the quantity of Vegemite which was served on fresh white bread with butter.

Leo from Colombia tasting Vegemite for the first time. Do you think he is enjoying it?

Below are some instructions how to eat Vegemite, however you can eat it in hundreds of different ways, one of them being with avocado on top.

Some of the students actually thought that Vegemite was a lot like Nutella;-)

The students were covering vocabulary relating to likes and dislikes that week and they could put it into practice while tasting Vegemite. After they had a piece of bread with Vegemite, they had to put their opinion on the scale on the board.

Like always, there is a small percentage of foreigners who like Vegemite. Have you tried Vegemite yet? 🙂

  1. It was a very interesting experiment for me. I haven’t eaten Vegemite.
    Seeing everyone’s faces, I guess Vegemite is not yummy?
    How do people react, when they eat unknown foods?
    It’s so interesting! I’ll try it next time.

  2. Today, I played a game in my class. Then I found out about Vegemite. I didn’t know the word or the taste. My classmate told me Vegemite is very salty! And now I checked this blog. From the blog it’s not looking tasty, but I want try this some day!

  3. I tried Vegemite in this class and it wasn’t too bad!
    I quite like it. Justyna told me that eating Vegemite with avocado is good.
    I want to try it !
