2 lines of vegemite....

hahaa...for all you americans....stop focusing on the aussie accent and beware the hoopsnakes and dropbears.....









Vegemite (IPA: /ˈvedʒɪmɑɪt/) is a dark brown savoury food paste made from yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits, as well as a filling of pastries like Cheesymite scroll, in Australia and New Zealand. It is similar to British Marmite, New Zealand Marmite and Swiss Cenovis.


Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture,
and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described
as salty, slightly bitter, and malty - somewhat similar to the taste of
beef bouillon.
The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter. It is not as
intensely flavoured as Marmite and it is less sweet than the New
Zealand version of Marmite.


Vegemite is popular with many Australians and New Zealanders, who
commonly consider it a "national food." It is considered an Australian cultural icon and can be found in shops around the world, particularly where there are large populations of Australian expatriates.
It has not been successfully marketed in other countries, apart from
New Zealand, and has failed to catch on in the United States, despite
being owned by U.S. food giant Kraft Foods.
