My choice for a name - Meconium

dark green mucilaginous material in the intestine of the full-term fetus. I mean if you've seen the stuff it's downright uncanny in appearance and afterall what is Vegemite/Marmite if not yeast poo?
My beef [no, that's Bovril] is that in their advertising for Marmite they say you either 'love it or hate it'. I'm neither, in fact I'm 'take it or leave it', however I have friends who are religiously obsessed with the stuff. So for diversity reasons I'm more aware of it's positive aspects.

In a word? Dumb. But them I don't have a telly, don't tweet, and closd my Facetube account, so hoohaa about stuff like this only barely registers on my radar. Life is much quieter when your news only comes from newspapers.

The product itself is pretty stupid, but people have been combining cheese and vegemite for as long as I remember, I wouldn't stick both in a jar and mash it up though :S. As long as they don't mess with the original product though they can release whatever they want

I know this isn't the flames section but can someone explain to me the appeal of eating something that tastes like you're french-kissing a mummy?

Or is it a secret weapon along the lines of garlic-breath waza?

Well, if you're a tourist and an Australian friend gives you a vegemite sandwich, it's most likely been prepared wrong. We serve tourists full strength vegemite sandwiches for lulz. Normally, you'd dilute it by spreading it extremely thinly over butter.

And as for the taste, it's just a cultural thing. For instance, you're from germany I notice. The thought of eating Sauerkraut makes me want to vomit

Ohhh I see.. xD ok, bad, bad Australian friend then Although I don't think I could ever try it again, even if thinly spread on butter... the memory alone... lol!
