Hey! Can't let this pass without a work in defense of the stuff - Marmite &
Vegemite are GREAT!!! I grew up with them and at 62 I still use the stuff and enjoy it. You gotta be tough to handle it though - like we breed 'em in good ol' NZ. -- Peter in New Zealand.

OT Vegemite
It's really amazing how much interest this thread generated. Regards to all.
"Bright Spark" wrote in message ... Oh, my goodness yes -- Andrews Liver Salts -- forgot about that! Thank you for this great OT thread!! As an ex-Londoner living in Southern California for a million years, who makes sure there is always a jar of Marmite in the cupboard, after the news about Vegemite the thought of possibly not being able to get Marmite in the US caused a serious moment of thought of purchasing about 6 cases of it right away!
