You're probably spread the Vegemite too thickly, which is why it seems too
salty.

Vegemite is similar to Marmite (though of greatly inferior stock, of
course....) Marmite needs to be spread really thinly, otherwise it does
taste much too salty. For my taste, anyway. It's also even more delicious if
you spread a layer of butter on the bread first. But now that I am all grown
up and forced into automatic Guilt Trips about naughty but nice things such
as butter, I usually take my Marmite neat. But applied with, as it were, a
rapier, rather than a trowel.

I use Willow Run Soy Margarine.. Tastes much better than Butter... Whenever
I'm out and given butter, it just tastes like eating a lump of lard.

Can't do with Marmite, there was a series of ads a couple fo
years ago on the 'love it/hate it' theme. but I don't get guilty about
butter, specially if the option is the more highly processed
margarine...

This reminds me of a funny story. We had a family in our church that went to
Austraila for 3 yrs and they relayed their vegamite story on a trip home to
the US. When they first arrived they thought one used vegemite like peanut
butter. so their daughter proceded to make herself a sandwich in this
manner. needless to say, she learned the hard way that one does not use
vegemite like pb. :)
