Kimchi or Vegemite :) ?

Answer 1

Well, that is a tough one. We eat kimchi every day. Really, every day. I do make my own as does my mother when time permits. But usually go to a Korean market and get it there. I buy the cabbage, radish, cucumber and green onion varieties. Delicious served with steamed rice as a really simple snack. It's great with just about any meal in my opinion and gives great flavor to soups and such when you cook some in it.

Vegemite. Not quite as versatile but it is a main staple in my diet. On toast, bagels, etc..

I LOVE BOTH. If I were forced to give one up for any amount of time I suppose it would be my beloved Vegemite as I don't eat it every day as is the case with kimchi.

Good day!

'Twas lovely -- here in eastern North America, the full moon went into eclipse just as it was setting. A golden full moon turning blackish-red!

I was told by an aging Australian (aren't they all that way!), the history of vegemite (see below). Since he died under mysterious circumstances -- apparently OD'd on vegemite, as the hypodermic needle smelt yeasty, I am inclined to suspect he was did in by the OZ police.

The truth is that an early POME prison ship full of innocent Irish lads got blown off course and wound up running aground near Pusan. The local inhabitants, recognizing the double-cross flying from the mast, were eager to see the POME bastards off. They helped repair the boat and reprovisioned it with kimchi, which by the way is rotten cabbage with some nasty fishy bits thrown in. The Pusanese were very generous with the kimchi, so there was tons of the stuff left over when the POME's finally arrived in Botany Bay. The kimchi was tossed in the local tip, where it was eaten by dingos. Now every school boy knows, that part of the story, but what they didn't learn was that the pome prison guards (English, you know) thought the kimchi-laced dingo poo smelt better than English food, and it tasted better, too. In the 1920's no dingo could be enticed to eat kimchi, so a couple of bright lads (Walker and Callister, see their story below) found they could produce a synthetic version, which had all the marvelous characteristics of the natural version. To this day the English-Australians relish vegemite and the Irish-Australians will only eat it if they're soused; in other words, they both eat it all the time.

Kimchi is made by fermenting seasoned cabbage and other vegetables. In addition to being served as a side dish, kimchi is also served with rice. Furthermore, kimchi is sometimes used as an ingredient in dishes such as kimchi jjigae (a kind of stew) and kimchi bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice).

Because it has a very pleasing flavor and is also quite healthy, kimchi has recently gained popularity around the world. Although its popularity is growing and the dish is now served in many places outside of Japan, kimchi has been a part of Asian culinary history for a very long time.


Vegemite is a spread for bread made from extracts of brewer’s yeast, some vegetables, and spices. It is most closely associated with New Zealand and Australia where it is manufactured by Kraft®. Vegemite isn’t the first spread of this type—prior to Australia manufacturing it, the British had Marmite, and the Swiss had a similar spread called Cenovis.

Answer 4

I would rather prefer Vegemite considering there are no derivatives i know better to choose from the options given. I rather trust my instinct that Vegemite is better. For after all Vegemite thereafter may not be taken into consideration by you.

Vegemite i think makes your life longer as Kimchi does. This is just my thought my friend.

Answer 5

I would choose Kimchi, because I've had that before. I've never tasted Vegemite.

Answer 6

Hmm.. tough.. I like both..
I'll go with Vegemite AND kimchi.. but for different use, of course :-)

Good morning, Moon.. Have a wonderful day.
*edit - ooops.. not Moon :) anymore?
*edit - pheeeew..! LOL.. ooo

p.s. we had lunar eclipse the other night.

Answer 7

I grew up eating vegemite, but I'd choose kimchi. They taste heaven :)

Answer 8

HI there. I would choose the Korean pickled cabbage of Kim Chee. I would not get it as hot as it comes ...probably as mild as it comes and nice and chilled is best. Although the only reason would be because I have never tasted vegemite.

Answer 9

Kimchi!

Answer 10

You ask an Aussie... there is only ONE possible answer..


VEGEMITE, mate! It goes with everything! - Vita wheat (ever put vegemite between two and squeeze vegemite out the holes? Yeah!) - weekbix, toast, cheese, croissants, scones...
