Heh. Now that you bring it up, I've never thought to ask an Aussie if Vegemite is fit to eat. I presume you've partaken of this regional delicacy(?), so is there anything we Yanks produce that would be a reasonable facsimile???

A black, salty yeast extraction that looks like thick sump-oil and tastes like something you might have scraped off your shower-floor - no, I can’t think of anything else quite like it.

But it’s really nice on hot, thick, buttered toast.

Now that you've asked... A couple of decades ago we had two young Australian girls from a choir stay over night with us. As a thank you gift they gave a jar of Vegemite, which they claimed was wonderful. I thought it tasted like ground up vitamins. I almost puked when I tried it.

They could not stand our Peanut Butter at all. Almost puked when they tried it.
