Vegemite actually doesn't contain any animal products. You're probably
thinking of Brovil which is made from beef and looks the same. Vegemite
is made from yeast and malt extracts. It's actually a good source of
vitamin B12 plus other B vitamins.

I'm vegetarian and I also eat vegemite. It's really is good stuff.
Honest! It tastes terrible if you slather it on thick, because it's
far too salty. However you're not supposed to eat it that way. Only a
tiny amount is required and it should be eaten with margerine or butter
on the bread as well. A jar of vegemite goes a long way.

In the vegemite ads you see these people eating toast with the vegemite
spread on waaay too thick. Only need a quarter of what they show is
needed.

I didn't think it had animal products in it. My reply was unclear, sorry.
When and if I ever run across some again, I'll try it as you suggest, spread
thin and on toast. Maybe I just didn't give it a fair chance last time.
It's not too popular in California. I've never seen it here, nor have I
ever seen a commercial for it. /shrug
Who knows? Maybe we'll start a new trend. lOl!!

My ex and his brothers used to play "Vegemite Poker"-- the loser of a
hand had to eat a heaping tablespoon of Vegemite. :P

Phew! That is *such* a relief. Thank you very much for setting the
record straight!

Oddly, not all Australians are addicted to vegemite. My sister, who
has lived in London (UK) for several years, specifically asked us *not*
to send her vegemite or tim tams as she doesn't like either of them.
My mother, an immigrant to Australia herself, was mildly shocked that
my sister could do without the two Australian staple foods. Mind you,
each time my sister visits Australia she goes insane shopping for
stuff, so there are a *few* things she misses from the Land of Oz (or
it could just be the favourable exchange-rate).

I reckon I could manage without vegemite if I had to, although Marmite &
Promite are poor alternatives, they'd do in a pinch I guess. But life
wouldn't be worth living without timtams. There is nothing in this world
(that I know of) that even comes close to the Timtam.

MMMM.... Timtams.

Fear not. Both Vegemite & Timtams are available in the UK. Vegemite is
superior to Marmite, but Timtams aren't as good as Penguins ;-)
