Hmmm...Vegemite. Yes a capital for some grammatical reason beyond my limited smarts.

Recently I was in South America, again, and met some fantastic people called Texans (no snark). For the fiftyumpteenth time another Yanq asked me about Vegemite. It occurred to me, after tasting SthAfrican Biltong spread, (we were hungry), that it is close to the same. I asked them to imagine beef jerky paste between two pieces of bread. The penny dropped, they could 'equate' the taste and offered to buy our smuggled supplies off us. They said that 'breakfast spread' in the YOOSA is sweet, 'who woulda thawt' salt as a brekky spread would be good.

Trivia: Kraft, yes that Kraft, make Vegemite.

ps: as I told the Texicanos, check your spice area in your local S'mart. That is where I used to buy it when I lived there. No it is for sale, those are fighting words.
