Mmmmm Vegemite!! Fear not the Aussie is here.... OK direct from the Vegemite website is some information for those of you who know little about this delicious Australian spread:
Vegemite dates back to 1922 when the Fred Walker Company, which became Kraft Walker Foods in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1950, hired a young chemist to develop a spread from one of the richest known natural sources of the vitamin B group - Brewers Yeast
Kraft has had an on-going commitment since the 1920’s to reinforce the message to Australians that Vegemite is nearly five times more concentrated than yeast, making it one of the world’s richest known sources of the energy giving Vitamin B group.
So not only is Vegemite a part of Australia’s history, it is also good for us. For generations, Vegemite has and will remain an intrinsic part of Australian family life.
Every Australian is raised on Vegemite, I haven't met a home grown Aussie yet that doesn't like it. I think the problem for foreigners is that they spread it too thick, Vegemite has a strong salty taste and if you spread it like nutella or jam the taste will knock you off your feet.

Something I understand is equally as horrible is Poi. I want to serve it once just so I can relive a Flintstones moment where Fred has to repeat "Please pass the poi" a bunch of times because he keeps flubbing his lines! HO HO!!!

As I was somewhat distracted yesterday, I failed to comment on the whole vegemite bit. I had occasion to try the stuff back in the 80's. There was an Australian bar in San Pedro, Ca. that I frequented on weekends where it was served right on the table. It was in a jar, just like jelly, sitting on every table. Like a moron, I stuck my knife in one and took a big taste. *yeeeeeeecccchhhh* That crap is nasty!! (My sincerest apologies to you, 'Child and your wonderful countrymen) Oh MAN! Just awful.

Mmmmm Vegemite!! Fear not the Aussie is here.... OK direct from the Vegemite website is some information for those of you who know little about this delicious Australian spread:
Vegemite dates back to 1922 when the Fred Walker Company, which became Kraft Walker Foods in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1950, hired a young chemist to develop a spread from one of the richest known natural sources of the vitamin B group - Brewers Yeast
Kraft has had an on-going commitment since the 1920’s to reinforce the message to Australians that Vegemite is nearly five times more concentrated than yeast, making it one of the world’s richest known sources of the energy giving Vitamin B group.
So not only is Vegemite a part of Australia’s history, it is also good for us. For generations, Vegemite has and will remain an intrinsic part of Australian family life.
Every Australian is raised on Vegemite, I haven't met a home grown Aussie yet that doesn't like it. I think the problem for foreigners is that they spread it too thick, Vegemite has a strong salty taste and if you spread it like nutella or jam the taste will knock you off your feet.

That sounds like a dare to me! LOL!!! Come on, where are our Aussie friends to chime in on the subject? (or at least sing along with me in a verse of "Land Down Under.")
Something I understand is equally as horrible is Poi. I want to serve it once just so I can relive a Flintstones moment where Fred has to repeat "Please pass the poi" a bunch of times because he keeps flubbing his lines! HO HO!!!

Sure, just ignore the smelly pink elephant in the room... |

.LOL... Men At Work.... No i don't wander around singing "I Come From A Land Down Under" Of course it gets played on Australia day and I sing along hehehe
Men at Work were an Australian reggae-influenced rock band which achieved international success in the 1980s. They are the only Australian artists to reach the Number 1 position in album and singles charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom with Business as Usual and "Down Under" respectively.[1] The group won the 1983 Grammy Award for Best New Artist and sold over 30 million albums worldwide
HAHAHAHA Is Wikipedia correct??? did they actually win a Grammy?.... well if they can i'm sure the mighty Priest can?
Here's a link to the video if anyone is intrested... au.youtube.com/watch
Ever heard of a band called "Powderfinger"?.... Definately my favourite Aussie rock band, and they're from Brisbane to boot!! haha I'll add a link to my favourite song of theirs if you're intrested... don't worry no cheesy 80's Aussie lyrics in this one.. just good old rock! au.youtube.com/watch [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Thursday, December 11, 2008 7:47:16 PM)

AHA! Just the person I needed to engage in this most interesting of topics! Great explanation. With pictures to boot! Thanks!
Now, then, just how do you feel about Men at Work? Ever find yourself walking around singing "I come from a land down under?" LOL!!!
Plus, where is the JP fanbase from Hawaii? I wanna know if Poi is as horrible as some claim too! Hmm...doensn't really piss me off, though. Perhaps I'll have to start a "Please pass the poi" thread in honor of Fred Flintstone.
