Will eating uncooked yeast make people sick? Is Vegemite uncooked yeast?

Now that I’ve posted it…I just realized that the yeast is going to cook in the butter. I get negative lurve for being a dingbat.

Of course Vegemite will make you sick. Have you ever tasted it?

Actually, your recipe looks good.

One of the Girl Scout moms made it the other day, and it was yummy. Reminded me of chopped liver, without the liver. I guess that means spreadable onions and butter!!

Make the Vegemite and then use it to compost the community vegetable garden.

@Rarebear What exactly is the problem with Vegemite? I’ve never understood why people from other countries complain about it.

If you get enough yeast in your system it’ll disrupt the balance of the yeast colonies in your intestines, and that can make you sick. that’s a lot of yeast, though. And nutritional yeast is both a healthy replacement for Parmesan cheese, and tastier than it.

I’d never thought of making it at home. Is that all there is to it? It looks so easy.

Although I have to say, as a Brit, I think Marmite is better. :-D

What is the difference between Marmite and Vegemite?

@rowenaz As far as the recipe goes I’m not sure, but they do taste quite different. I personally prefer Vegemite, but we always get Promite in my house for some reason.

@rowenaz I’ve tried both vegemite and marmite. Vegemite has a milder flavour, and is less salty.
