I like Vegemite^. A sparing amount over freshly made and hot buttered toast, can be just the thing for breakfast if I'm in a toast kind of mood. Other than that I grew up eating it and I like the flavour of umami reasonably well (or, possibly, just saying "umami"), I really can't explain it though. I don't expect you to understand. It is almost black and thick and kind of ... greasy. It is a by-product of the beer brewing process. (And it LOOKS like a petroleum by-product.) But I like it. It is okay for me to like it. It is also okay for you not to like it.
If you'd like, I will try and explain why I like Vegemite but if you don't "get it", it doesn't mean I have failed you. I'm not obliged to keep trying to come up with new ways to justify to you why I like Vegemite. I am not a Vegemite-Evangelist. I'm a Vegemite-Live-and-Let-Live-r. Vegemite, like many things, is something that ultimately, you either "get" or do not. And LOADS of people DON'T. LOADS.
