Brilliant for mouth ulcers too.

I do not know which I enjoy more, listening to this song or reading the hilarious Vegemite discussion. But why choose, when you can do both at the same time!

It's possibly an acquired taste but it is nice and it is very good for you. It's basically yeast extract.

It came about as a beer by-product. A local brewer was producing so much of the stuff as a leftover from the brewing process that they decided to find an alternative use for it rather than just throwing it.

It's the sediment that collects at bottom of your home-brew.

Now here's something that sounds disgusting at first but is absolutely delicious:

Vegitmite Recipe:

1) Toast some Bread.
2) Smear some Vegimite on it (I like lots).
3) Place a poached egg on top of that (soft runny centre).
4) Place some tomato sauce on that (ketchup to the majority of you).
5) Prepare for gastro orgasm.

The kiwis, typically copied it, called their puke Marmite and laid claim to it :)

I use to work for a company that started in Sydney. They moved here to the US and they had a vegemite eating contest. It was only for US employees. I came in second. It was quite possibly the worse thing I have ever tried. I had that taste in my mouth for at least two days. yuck yuck yuck...

Yep, you could say it's whiteman's miso. Promite is good too, a vegetable/yeast facsimile.

Having seen the original "video" - on film that is, in a movie theater, in about 1982, where the entire audience was going ... "what? what is this, a preview?" - because we had never seen a "music video" before.... in a theater or on a television. I can safely say this is better than the original. By a bunch.

No just different. Two different moods. The original is - or was - an MTV staple and is for many inextricably linked to those days. This version echoes that but it's a very distant echo. I still can't escape the visual of the Vegemite sandwich, for example.

I kind of like this one.

haha, I actually was about to say the same thing...something about the laid back nature of it seems more fitting.

Sounds brilliant - I'll try it with Marmite soon. Another great one is to make a toasted sandwich with Marmite and Cheddar cheese. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Let's hear it for Marmite, too. One of the best meals of my life was Marmite on toast after waking up from a general anaesthetic, having been nil by mouth for 24 hours. Yum! They've recently launched a limited edition version made with Guinness yeast. Check it out.
