I missed this post. Vegemite is a yeast spread, black as tar and tastes about as good, no seriously it is an Aussie classic and it's lovely! I love cheese and vegemite scrolls, yum.

You can use it as a flavour enhancer in gravies, soups and casseroles, but Aussies mainly just have it on toast.

Its Vegemite or broke. Heh, uni is about to start again soon, going to have to introduce all the Yanks to Vegemite, it's funny seeing their reactions to it.

Smear some vegemite over a beef roast the next time you do one. The flavour is...interesting.

The Vegemite has a home page with a bunch of recipes on it:

Pour hot water over the rest, mix, and drink.

Marmite wins, hands down, over Vegemite (I have both in my kitchen cupboards, my sister and niece are here from Oz at the mo!)
