Firstly, Slight correction needed. Marmite is definitely not Vegemite.

According to Wikipedia, 'Marmite is a food spread made from yeast extract invented by German scientist Justus von Liebig and originally made in the United Kingdom'

Vegemite is jet black with a thick texture similar to other pastes like peanut butter. (Yeah!)

Marmite has more of burnt brown color and a more syrupy consistency, like molasses. (Yuk, who'd eat that?)

Yes, Vegemite. The REAL STUFF. Made in Melbourne. It has been mentioned that it makes Vegemite virgins’ eyes water. Get tough or get out, I guess.

True story: I once worked with a Sax player from Sacramento. He stated that he could look at it, but could never come to eating it. I've got no idea why? There's always a jar of it in this household.

Yes, the song: 'Down Under', the band: 'Men At Work', and the lyrics say it all:
"Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, "do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich"

Maybe you've got to live here to understand the toughness involved. Aussies don't even think twice. cool

There's nothing slang about Vegemite. No innuendo at all. Aussies just eat it. VEGEMITE is rich in B Vitamins including B1, B2, B3 and folate to help kick start your day. Vegemite - Tastes like Australia. Get tough!
