[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 371329, member: 4085"] A very popular spread in Australia made from brewer's yeast. It has very salty taste that reminds me of soy bean paste. Although it contains an unhealthy amount of salt it is usually eaten, sparingly, on sandwiches, toast or crackers and is a very rich source of B group vitamins. It is often nicknamed axle grease which it resembles it in appearance. Having (unintentionally) actually tasted axle grease when working on the car; I can truthfully say it tastes NOTHING like it. We have never found a visitor who liked it. It seems that only dinki-di Aussies can eat it with anything like enjoyment. Ex-pat Aussies who are homesick would LOVE it as a taste of home. The song is talking about a traveller who meets a someone from Oz who is so friendly that he offers him his Vegemite sandwich. Apparently it is ridiculously expensive overseas so the offer of even a bite is quite generous . Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
