[quote:Mr.Evil:MV8yMjM2OTYxXzM3OTQ4OTE5X0UwMjE5RDY0] One of the courses I took while working at HP was taught by an Aussie employee that we would bring to the states every few months. On the second day of the class, he brought in a tube of Vegemite for us to try. No one else liked it but me, and he gave me the tube to keep since there was no purpose in returning home with it. Dude - that stuff rocked. It's awesome, but salty as all get out. Sure enough tho by the end of the first week, I could layer it pretty well and loved it. Really great on toast with a good hefe to wash it down. I wish we could get Vegemite here as it's a great source of iodine and other vitamins and minerals. [/quote]

My 15 year old daughter and her boyfriend watched an old Men At Work video on the Youtubes, and asked me if I'd ever had Vegemite. I had a college dormmate who let me sample her's back in the day, so it'd been 20 years or more since I'd had any.
We bought a jar of it on Amazon, spread that shit nice and thick on toast, and promptly thought it was the gnastiest stuff evah (to quote my daughter).
I did some research into it, asking WHY do Aussies like it when it tastes so gross. Turns out I was using it as a jelly spread when I should have been scraping it thin like butter.
Went back for Round 2 tonight, and admittedly it was much better this time. Washed down with a cold German pils beer, it was pretty awesome actually.
