Veg-a-mite is to Australians what Peanut Butter is to Americans.  I
have a jar in my kitchen that a friend picked up in Australia.  It's
pretty terrible.  I don't like the smell of it, and I gag when I think
about actually eating it.  Makes sense, though.  Australians don't seem
to think too much of peanut butter.

NB:  In England, they have "Marmite".  Guess what that is.
