I happen to be a bloody Australian and I want to set the bloody record straight on Vegemite sammies. I ate Vegemite sammies ~3days a week (or as often as me mum had a bloody hangover) for school lunch for fifteen bloody years. I still have care packages of Vegemite & Aussie tea (you bloody septic tanks have no concept of what the word "tea" means to a cono-bloody-seur tea sculler) sent to me regular. Marmite is the pommie bastards' ripoff of a traditional Aussie food (the fact that Vegemite HAPPENS to be made by that bloody a'merkin company Kraft is irreverent here). Vegemite is ALWAYS made from yeast. Marmite & Boveril are traditionally made from bloody cow scraps, though they have tried to imitate our second most important national food on occasion. Boveril is a bloody DRINK, mate! NOBODY spreads that stuff on anything, although me mate says it makes a good fly repellent if ya smear it on ya bloody face. Yer mix Boveril with hot water & drink the bloody brew. The secret to Vegemite on a crumpet in the morning for brekkie is to put the butter on first then sort of stir the Vegemite into it until its sort of like marble. Yum! So don't listen to the pommie bastards, get yerself a few tubes and half a duz Vegemite sammies, grab a cupple-a snags and ave a barbie at the beach. Before ya know it you'll be true-blue and chundrin in the good 'ol South Pacific Sea! (p.s. the most important national food is a bloody meat pie'n dead horse)
