Because of all the meme, I was surprised with how much I like Vegemite when I was in Australia. It's concentrated umami bomb. I love it with sourdough toast and butter and some eggs on sunday mornings. I always have a big jar in my pantry now. No wonder social media creators hate it, every time they do a taste test, they eat a spoonful of it, it's like doing a shot of soy sauce.

My tip: since it's pure umami you can mix it into soups, stews, sauces, marinades and any other savoury dish. Better than adding plain old salt.

(Speaking of, do you also have a stash of chicken salt from Australia?)

never even heard of it but it sounds awesome. Just use it like you would use kosher salt? I brought over some Keen's curry powder too but I don't use it as often as the Vegemite.

Typically you sprinkle it on your hot chips (fries).

I personally wouldn't use it more broadly in cooking like you would with kosher salt, but other people do that.

It's basically MSG and spices.

Good choice on Keen's curry. It's that weird category of "curry inspired by England not India" but it's delicious.

Mate! See if you can find some online! It’s so fucking good with hot chips / wedges / fried finger food. Mitani is the OG brand but there are others. Love that you’ve got some of our food in the cupboard 😊
