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).

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. Dewi - Vegemite defender ;D |

I was wondering it this was a publicity stunt done by Kraft (who own
Vegemite). Think of all the good advertising Vegemite got from this. Maybe vegemite sales in Australia were dropping, who knows. Dewi.

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. Yowie |

Both Vegemite & Timtams are available in the UK. Vegemite is superior to Marmite, but Timtams aren't as good as Penguins ;-) http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.c...s.php3?item=47 |
