In OZ it's Vegemite (beef extract paste - black in colour - very salty -
delicious. All Aussies anointed with this at birth)...in UK it's Marmite -
as I understand, vegetable extract version - sweeter. Most of our US
visitors almost choke on Vegemite. I don't particularly like Marmite, so
haven't put anyone to the test.
Would love to see a hot version of Vegemite - but that would no doubt be
sacrilegious to the purists.
Most Aussies know this little song which has been around for eons, and still
pops up occasionally in TV c'cials....
"We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea
Our Mummy says we're growing stronger
Every single week
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek."
The mind boggles at possible lyric changes if Habs were to be added to the
Vegemite recipe!!
