Its a Galactor plot I tell ya!!

I was watching the news today and to my horror...

They muttered the words 'ban' and Vegemite in the same sentence...

So an Aussie that would cause a national rebellion...How could they even consider it...my breakfast would never be the same and my eldest daughter loves her vegemite sandwiches.

Some crap about it being unheathy and full of salt...now if they realized how much vegemite goes onto bread they may rethink that statement. They better ban Macdonalds before they ban a national icon and food group!

I figure Galactor has something to do with it...grrrr

Well, I've never had vegemite, but if it is to Australians what peanut butter is to me, then I can fully understand your outrage!

Now I'm thinking about that episode where Galactor steals the world's sugar with that "Ibukuron" mecha, and how horrified Ryu is.

Definitely Galactor...

I gather Galactor knows how to push your buttons, Ebony!
Now if they tried to ban Flakes and Crunchie bars, I'd be up in arms!!!

I tasted some vegemite my dad brought back from Australia years ago and didn't particularly care for it... but I know it's popular there and makes no sense why they would ban it...

I see a market potential here, black market mind. Smuggling Marmite (vegemite by another name) into the southern hemisphere

LOL- All teh Aussies lining up to get their fix of Vegemite...

I would be like banning peanut butter in other countries al together.

Most people in australia grew on it from Childhood, and most people who have never tried it before put it on too thick. You only need a sliver of spread because its a strong flavour.

I use it in cooking casseroles too.

Yeah I know I blame Galactor a lot for things but then I'm a Swan and we know Galactor likes to steal things like Sugar... Maybe Katse has a liking for Vegemite! grins

The question I have Ebony is WHERE are they planning to ban it? As you say I can not imagine it being banned in Australia, it is a National Product. So perhaps they were talking about banning the importing of the product into some other country.

Ahh... that's probably the problem... I know I put that stuff on a cracker like it was peanut butter Smile

Some goodie goodie health group are trying to get it banned for "health reasons..." If they come close to succeeding there will be a national revolt! Lol

If you do, I'll have to let you know my response. Along with asking the "proper" way of eating it. To get the full Aussie experience.

Banning Vegemite would be un-Australian!! Some idiot e-mailed "Sunrise" saying that it wouldn't matter as nobody liked it. They did a poll and 91% of callers said that they loved it.

Most new-vegemite eaters make the mistake of putting too much on their toast. It realy does only need a scraping as it's got a very strong taste.

And Marmite!! Cheap Vegemite knockoff. It definitely doesn't replace it at all!

I agree that Vegemite is also very good in stews and some people put it in gravy as well.

If you've read Terry Pratchett's "The Last Continent", then you will have a good idea of vegemite....

You Aussies have me really curious to try it now. I think I've seen it in some grocery stores around here that have lots of imported foods.

It's one of those foods that if you like it, you love it, if you don't you don't - there's really no mid way with it.

An Aussie staple sandwich is a vegemite and cheese sandwich - bread, butter, scraping of vegemite and a slice of cheese (it has to be the processed pre-sliced cheese).

And, of course, there is the "worm". Sao biscuit, butter, scraping of vegemite. Put another one on top, squeeze together and watch it come out the holes!

Go ahead and try it Lborgia - but just remember to only scrape it on (about 1 small teaspoon on a slice of toast).

Ahhh vegemite - so many ways to enjoy it!

And now - for everybody's enjoyment: THE VEGEMITE AD!

This is the original ad - but it's still used today (with some colour added)

I keep having to edit this. What do you get when you combine vegemite with Anime? THIS!

Laugh1 I'm not sure if that ad makes me more curious to try it, or more afraid of it!
