     Has anyone ever eaten 'vegemite' out there in net-land?
It has to be one of the WORST tasting food-stuffs that there is.
My father brought a jar back from Australia. Apparently, it is
a yeast derivative, that has a dark green color, a paste-like
texture, and a flavor that can't be put into words (I would say
that it approximated something dead or rotting.)

     It came in a little jar about 2 inches high by 1 1/2 inches
across, with the warning: "Spread Sparingly". It should have had
the warning "For External Use Only". It also said that it can be
used as a spread for crackers, breads, and biscuits. You can have
it. If someone ever "Gave Me a Vegemite Sandwich" I would keep an
eye on them.

                                  B.C.M.
