Had Vegemite in 1983, when my ship visited Fremantle. Spent some time with a very nice family and towards the end of the visit, the teenagers of the family asked if I had ever tried Vegemite. I said no, and they said they would fix me a sandwich to try. I talked them into just putting some on a soda cracker. I have eaten many strange things in my travels of the world, but nothing that comes close to the taste of Vegemite. Worst tasting stuff I have ever eaten. They stated the best description of the taste of Vegemite by a Yank was,"Grabs your tongue, rolls it around the inside of your mouth, then rips it out by the roof".

I was once told by an Aboriginal Elder that Vegemite tastes exactly like the sweat on the inside of a kangaroo's thigh after a 20-mile hop in 100F heat. I took his word for it!

Vegemite reminds me of the old Alka-Seltzer ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qdfMYFl0Ic

With all these stories about what Vegemite is "supposed" to taste like I'm thinking about that "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Just wondering how much money they could raise if you had to eat a spoonful of vegemite as the challenge. There would be a few interesting expressions for sure!

Yeah, me too.

I eat it like peanut butter because I'm an Aussie!

Just love the expressions on people's faces trying it for the first time.

First time I tried it, I thought I was chewing on a piece of a railroad cross-tie!
