Recently I got form sw342pd some british rations, and I had one as testing. Letting aside the oddity "beans for breakfast" (here, in Eastern Europe, beans are strictly a lunch item http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasole_cu_cârnaţi), I'm very curious about this item, Yeast Extract. What it is? Condiment? I can't think that one human being can spread this... thing! on a biscuit and eat it...

Search for vegemite - the aussies love it on a buttered toast and then spread it on very thin! Or use it as an spice for the meal!

Beans for Breakfast are unusal here in germany too, but I like them - sometimes!

Yeast Extract = Vegemite

I though had a tube that said yeast extract but cant find it EDIT:
Yowie did a review of it some where.

It was Bushmaster not yowie here is the URL viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4382&start=14

It has some interesting flavors, several different opinions about how to describe it.
some say it tastes like eating a bullion cube
some say it tastes like sunflower seed paste concentrate
everyone agrees its salty though

I like it on buttered toast.

this is like maggie ...
I find only concentrated ...
I like to eat on the armor plates ...
or just to spice up the main course ....

ive tried the yeast extract and didnt really like it .but a friend told me to add it to boiling water .and its really nice on cold days ,it almost reminded me of the old oxo cubes in the old british rations

I'll do this tonite.

I got some from a recent trade with cavguy and is an adquired taste!
Is super salty by itself but I used it on a buttered toast and it tasted ok.
Now I will try it with some hot water.....
