you don't even know what it tastes like - get back in your box fool

I read something a while ago saying that 90% of Australians overseas wanted vegemite when they felt sick.

I know i'm a big fan of marmite, i'm assuming it's the exact same thing just the English branded version.

Beer Yeast ftw!

For all those who say it's disgusting, try it just once on crumpets... it's ... *drools* Excuse me while I go to the shops :1orglaugh

Marmite is the English version. Yukky pommy shit.

Vegemite is an aquired taste. You need a very small scraping on toast and you are in heaven. Gotta love savoury spreads :)

Folate (or Folic Acid) is an additive in alot of foods because of it's value in stopping certain birth defects (I think). It's in bread and cereals in many western countries. Not sure why they would ban it for that.

He didnt speak my language he just handed me a vegemite sandwich lol

I'll stick with my honey coated pancake for breakfast. :)

I still have the video/pics of that somewhere....

vegemite should allways be eaten with butter, and only lightly spread not like peanut butter etc.. otherwise it is pretty foul

This is a sad day indeed for all expatriate Aussies in the US. Even though I only eat it about once a year. I was raised on the stuff and will now head down to the International Market to buy any last jars before they rip it off the shelves :Oh crap

On hot toast it tastes just right! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

can you repair stuff with it? is it a secrete anti shark matter?

My housepainter is an Aussie and LOVES the stuff. He said it's something you're just born eating but it's rarely an aquired taste unless you start when you're very young ;)

Damn - I was just going to get a Vegemite Sandwich - SOL - I guess.

I love Vegemite, it's best on toast! and you only need a small amount, even my cat loves eating Vegemite!! she goes crazy over it!

Vegemite smells exactly like catfish bait and kind of tastes like a thick funky roast beef cream. I kinda like it though.

Looks like Vegemite isn't banned!

US denies Vegemite ban
From correspondents in Los Angeles

October 25, 2006 06:11am
Article from: AAP

AUSTRALIANS travelling to the US can breathe easy. So can the 100,000 or so Australian expatriates living in America.

The US government today dismissed media reports it had banned Vegemite.

"There is no ban on Vegemite," US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spokesman Mike Herndon said.

Media reports at the weekend claimed American border officials were confiscating Vegemite from Australians as they entered the US.

The FDA, charged with policing America's food supply, has not issued an "import alert" to border officials to halt the import of Vegemite.

Mr Herndon said the FDA was surprised by the media reports.

The controversy centres on folate, an ingredient in Vegemite.

Under US regulations, folate can be added only to breads and cereals.

"One of the Vitamin B components (in Vegemite) is folate," Mr Herndon said.

"In and of itself, it's not a violation. If they're adding folate to it, boosting it up, technically it would be a violation.

"But the FDA has not targeted it and I don't think we intend to target Vegemite simply because of that."

Joanna Scott, spokesperson for Vegemite's maker, Kraft, reportedly has said, "The Food and Drug Administration doesn't allow the import of Vegemite simply because the recipe does have the addition of folic acid".

But Mr Herndon said, "Nobody at the FDA has told them (Kraft) there is a ban".

To eradicate any grey areas or potential regulation breaches, Mr Herndon said, Kraft could petition the FDA, something other food manufacturers have done.

While many Aussies living in the US rely on visiting Australian relatives and friends to bring them a jar or two of Vegemite from Australia, the product is available in some US supermarkets.

The price slapped on Vegemite, however, is tough to swallow.

A tiny, four ounce jar of Vegemite sells for around $US4.80 ($6.33) in US supermarkets.
