As a vegemite veteran, I concur. It's pretty much like putting death into your mouth. Isn't beer barrel scrapings? Or something a cat ate and then threw up that a dog then ate and, later, pooped out? Those are the two "means of production" I have heard rumors of.
I, too, have been a victim of this nasty sandwich spread. Did you know that vegemite is but a mere imposter, and it was Marmite that started this whole mess? Marmite is the 100+ year old English yeast spread, equally as reminiscent of death in your mouth; There are other versions as well, like Promite (officially a US made product) and Cenovis (I think that’s from Switzerland). Another random fact, "Marmite" is French for a large cooking pot. You'll notice that there is an image of such a thing on the Marmite label.
I hate that stuff. Someone told me it (Marmite) was chocolate as a joke, and gave me a spoonful to try. I knew it was a joke by the way he gave it to me, so luckily I only had a small bite so I wouldn't look like a wimp. Needless to say, it only took a miniscule taste to make me run to the trashcan and vomit.

It is, in fact, the leftover yeast product from beer production...and I would rather drink bile...
yeah - that stuff is nasty. i put a large clod of it on a roll on the airplane over - bad idea...

Here's a fun place to explore Marmite without tasting it:

"Marmite" is a much better name than "Vegemite."
