I hear Marmite is really just an imitation Vegemite (not that I would know).

Is that your favourite toast/bread condiment?

Mine would have to include really nice olive oil or perhaps homemade hummus.
We should modify this thread to discuss the best accompaniment for breadaceous foods.

Yes, Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it. Vegemite is the imitation Marmite!

He didn't lie: that was just down the other leg of the trousers.

When Orstraylya takes over the world, by default, Vegemite appreciation societies will flourish.

those who do not join will learn to dread the sound of soft footsteps in the dark and upon rising find the mark of the dreaded vegemite hand on the walls*.

You have been warned.

*walls. Not strictly the icecream but watch out - you never know what will come next
