The Unlikely Condiment Australians Add To Their Morning Coffee

An Instagram Reel posted by Golden Brown, a Melbourne-based coffee company, touted a Vegemite latte, which has garnered mixed reactions from foodies online.
In a gentle bit of trolling, a barista opens with seemingly earnest bafflement that Americans, in particular, are ignorant to the purportedly ubiquitous Vegemite latte.
The barista asserts that Vegemite, espresso, and milk results in a nice miso caramel finish. If this seems familiar, the company pulled a similar stunt on TikTok back in 2021.
Comments are predictably divided. Some seem gleefully in on the joke, others appear to be genuinely incredulous; a few are disproportionately angry and plenty are game for a taste.
The obviously very fake Vegemite latte has been forever etched in the hallowed halls of internet recipes, and plenty of folks on other platforms have recreated the dubious drink.
