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 extremely salty, slightly bitter, and malty, similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth, resembling margarine, although somewhat firmer and sticky. It is firmer and slightly sweeter than other yeast extracts.
Vegemite is popular with many Australians and New Zealanders at home and abroad who often comically described it as their "national food."

It is a blackish brown spread consisting of vegetable extract
Delicious on toast or with cheese on hot jaffles,can be added to soups or gravy mixes. it is an acquired taste as it is not for everyone,by a jar and have a go at some Australian
cuisine,then go out and get a couple of Roo steaks and put em on the barbie.

Vegemite is the food of the gods. Look at my 360 blog. I have a poll on vegemite (you can vote on it, if you want). There is a picture there, too.
You avatar is cute.

It's made in Australia, by a company called Kraft. There are other companies which make it but I believe they were the first.
It is similar to Marmite, but has no meat extracts in it. It's yummy, and the funny thing is, it seems that the only country you can get it in, in the western world is Australia. It's high in Vitamin B (but someone stuck something over my label, so cant give quantities and tell which B's).
Vegetarians can eat it too.

Its only the best spread in the world!
A lot of non-aussies dont like it... but then again, i've met a lot of aussies who dont like it too..
Its a yeast extract and looks a lot like chocolate spread...
Its realllyyy salty tasting and very strong and quite disgusting if u eat it on its own.. HOWEVVEER the only time it actually tastes good is when u spread it lightly on toast with lots of butter...
I feel like Vegemite now.. yuummmm!!
Peace and Love..

It's a spread made from yeast. YUK!!! Tried it when I lived in England. I threw up everything I had eaten the entire week before I tasted that crap. I got so sick, my toenails came up and they had to grow back.
P.S. Love the new avitar!!!
