Now that there is a big discussion about grits on another topic, and a mention of Vegemite in it, I have a question:What The Hell Is Vegemite? I looked at the vegemite site, sang the happy vegemite song, and read the history. Now, what does it taste like? What does it do? What will it MAKE me do?

>>What The Hell Is Vegemite? Its a spreadable (brewers?) yeast extract product. >>Now, what does it taste like?
Having tried the stuff, it tastes like, well... salty thick brewers' yeast  I'm sure that the Aussies will have better explanations  Aaron (someone who has had both Grits AND Vegemite (just not at the same time hehe))

Okay, I saw the picture of the jar in the other thread, and I have always wondered what it was (ever since the Men At Work song).Does it bother anyone else that Kraft is evidently mass producing it? It kinda removes some of the mystery and "Australia-ness" for me! (LOL) Somebody mail me a jar! Russ c/o

Perhaps Paul was wrapping it up to send you and got hungry!  Vegemite is indeed an acquired taste and I have indeed acquired it from childhood as do most good little Aussie kids. I love the stuff (even though it's owned by a cigarette manufacturer). My Belgian wife Suzanne, however can't stand the sight, smell or taste of it which is just fine with me 'cos that just leaves more for me. Now, if I can just convince the kids that they should really not eat it... For all the info on Vegemite go to www.vegemite.com.au and you too can be driven mad by the song.  
This is not a picture of me.
