It's made from beer. No wonder the Aussies love it. Read on...
Vegemite (pronounced /ˈvɛdʒɨmaɪt/ VEJ-ə-myet)[1][2] is a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract. It is a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits, and filling for pastries. It is similar to British, New Zealand, and South African Marmite, Australian (US owned) Promite, and to Swiss Cenovis.
Vegemite is made from used brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty — similar to beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.
These precious moments are provided by creatures known as "lot lizards". They will come a calling without invitation or provocation, at the first sign of lights out in a semi. In most cases, its a real good thing that the lighting is bad, as these are not exactly top-listers.
You want strange in that department, try the Aussies! They eat Vegamite sandwiches, Vegamite being basically the scum that collects on top of pickle vats.
You'll actually find a reference to it in the great old song called "The Land Down Under" by the Aussie group Men At Work. They sing about running into a fellow Aussie who "just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich." Gross is right!
