Whatever you do, don't google "brown spider tissue necrosis" images. |
Yeah I know, it'll give you zombie like tissue, very gore-like. |

I like that there are only two kinds of thing in Australia: those that want to kill you, and those you eat with vegemite. No overlap, no exceptions.
Not even the Amazon is that scary... mostly because there's no vegemite. |

I have no idea how Australia survives with vegemite and a complete lack of Marmite.
At least the Kiwis know the real deal. |

You can buy Marmite here. Nobody does though, because it's nasty :p |

Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women blow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover |

Vegemite is basically no nexistent in the UK (apart from to cater to tasteless Australians) and I've only ever seen it once here in the states, in a place called - I you not - European Sausage Deluxe.
However, the best encounter of the Yeast Spread war I've ever read is this:
"I haven't tried Vegemite, but I had British Marmite. I'd heard it was very pungent and salty, so I imagined it something like anchovies. I like anchovies. I also understood it to be made from beer yeast. I like beer.
It tasted like neither. It was more like the smell and flavor of decay in a tiny, decorative jar. If you could take the smell of moldy coffee grounds, infuse it to a paste, and let it ferment in a homeless man's navel for six months, them mix it with salt and shame, you'd have something approximating Marmite.
I'm always willing to try new things, but that's truly a "you have to grow up with it" sort of flavor. I gave the jar, minus one pea-sized serving, to a British ex-pat friend... totally made her day, and mine" |

You could buy Vegemite at Sainsbury's when I was living in the UK, but it was like 5 quid for a tiny jar. |

So I googled how much vegemite costs in Australia, and there's vegemite with cheese?
I don't know what Vegemite Cheesybites tastes like, but I'm both fascinated and terrified. |

| I haven't tried the cheesybites. Vegemite and cheese on toast is good though. |

I actually paid $23 for my last tub of Marmite.
In my defense it was a giant ing one that lasted 2 years but I still was in shock that I parted with that much for Marmite.
Vegemite. You couldn't pay me $23 just to be in the same supermarket as that little jar of antipodean fraud. |
