Vegemite tastes like what I imagine the under-side of a cow to taste. It tastes like the smell of road surface. It should have a warning label: Not to be taken orally. It's clearly a prank that Australia plays with everyone.

Also, I was born in England, but have lived in Australia for 25 years.

Don’t forget Marmite. I can eat that straight out of the bottle. Yum.

I tried it as a kid when my school had some kind of international day and lunch was a catered buffet of tons of different food from around the world.

It was basicslly pure salt on my tastebuds.

Vegemite is just brewers yeast post-brew, with added salt. It's was invented to use up the leftover brewers yeast after brewing beer (well really, Marmite was, and Vegemite was invented as an Australian version of Marmite).

Brits like the taste of beer, Brits made Marmite. Aussies like the taste of beer.. Vegemite.

Its ok if yanks don't like the taste of beer, we get it, we've tried your beers.
