Re: What is Vegemite?
In Response To: What is Vegemite? ()

Similar to Marmite in the UK but different taste. An Aussie icon. Every kid in Australia grows up on the stuff, you get fed it on toast & bread as soon as you can chew grin

"Vegemite dates back to 1922 when the Fred Walker Company, which became Kraft Walker Foods in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1950, hired a young chemist to develop a spread from one of the richest known natural sources of the vitamin B group - Brewers Yeast.

Following months of laboratory tests, Dr. Cyril P Callister, who became the nation’s leading food technologist of the 1920s and 30s developed a tasty spreadable paste. It came in a two ounce (57g) amber glass jar capped with a Phoenix seal with the label "Pure Vegetable Extract".

I will make it my duty to send all chippers I trade with one of the sample sizes shown in the scan. Same size as you would have for jam etc. in hotels. If you guys can eat grits then this will make your taste buds sing!!! rofl
