Ugh. Yeah, this is the screw-up most make with vegemite. It’s not just an acquired taste, but it’s a strong acquired taste.
Consider if you were introducing someone to spicy food for the first time. Do you jump them straight to munching on ghost peppers? Heck no. You give them a little so their palate gets used to the taste a bit at a time.
Smearing vegemite on onto a sandwich like it was nutella is not just stupid, it’s insane. I’ve been eating the stuff all my life—I could eat it from a spoon—and even I wouldn’t spread it that thick on a sandwich.
