I thought it was vitameatavegemin.

It's easier to find Marmite than Vegemite. But I can find both in Cleveland.

Wait a minute...one of the joys of this thread is completely annoying the unwitting visitor with the insanely annoying VEGEMITE song!

It used to play automatically on page two from memory? Doesn't seem to do that anymore...

Just for you John:

The Vegemite Song

A Vegemite sandwich to an Australian kid is the equivalent of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to an American kid.

Hey Matthew

Thanks for that...but the beauty of it on the site was the fact folks couldn't switch the bloody thing off.

Now THAT was funny!

Vegemite!

I grew up on Nutella [Big Grin]

On an excursion trip to somewhere while in primary school I ate my lunch at what was morning playlunch (i was hungry) and so had nothing to eat at the designated lunch time. A fellow pupil offered one of their cheese and vegemite sandwiches and the teacher insisted that I consume it. I've never eaten a sandwich so slow.
It was cruel.

Vegemite now banned in the US by the FDA.

October 21, 2006 12:00am News.com.au

THE US has banned Vegemite, even to the point of searching Australians for jars of the spread when they enter the country.

The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite has been deemed illegal under US food laws.

The great Aussie icon - faithfully carried around the world by travellers from downunder - contains folate, which under a technicality, America allows to be added only to breads and cereals.

Australian expatriates in the US said enforcement of the ban had been gradually stepped up and was now ruining lifelong traditions of Vegemite on toast for breakfast.

Kraft spokeswoman Joanna Scott said: "The (US) Food and Drug Administration doesn't allow the import of Vegemite simply because the recipe does have the addition of folic acid.''

The US was "a minor market'' for Vegemite, she said.
