Being Aussie doesn’t make you like vegemite. I hate it, for example.

I have tried it before. I’m not big on salt so i didn’t like it. It is just something you do or don’t like. Ill bet if it wasnt salty it would have been okay.

If you have a World Market (also known as Cost Plus) store near you, they carry Vegemite (stores thru out most of US except the Northeast).

Vegemite i do understand is not that appealing to other countries unless your a complete freak who enjoys it.
But being Australian means you get to grow up with it and you learn to love it.

But its not where near like salty poo.

Hey but thats just the whole population of Australia’s opinion.
Hahaha.

I wish we had Vegemite here. Such a disappointment. Petition your local grocer for Vegemite, I command it!!!

I love Australia and it’s Vegemite, but do they sell it in US? Which store? Does anybody know? Thanks.

Trust me, you don’t want to get too acquainted. I think I’m the only Australian who hates Vegemite. It tastes like eating peanut butter made of salt.

Oh I had completely forgotten the video! I haven’t seen it since about 1984! Bloody hell, my memory of 1982/3 fashion has been clouded over time. But the poor koala. How much can it bear being tied to him like that?

Marmite comes from New Zealand, its a much better alternative! Not as bitter. Marmite/Vegemite and cheese toasted Sammys ROCK!

You wusses should try it

Six foot four, and full of mussels.

The Belgians are known for eating mussels, which makes the lyric a pun in keeping with the theme of regional food based stereotypes. Mussels-Belgium, Vegemite-Australia.

Hooray for double entendre in pop music!

Also:
It’s Men At Work, not Dire Straits.

This Alaskan has had opportunities–courtesy of IRC friends in Australia and New Zealand–to try both Vegemite and Marmite. Good stuff!

As an Aussie, I must defend Vegemite’s honour – if only because anyone who doesn’t like the taste is deported. Lol.

A warning to anyone (I’m looking at you Americans) who wants to try Vegemite (and please do) – use butter first, and the tiniest smidgen of vegemite! Seriously, it takes us many years of hard training to get used to having it as thick as most people have butter, and even then that’s considered pretty hardcore (I myself have it a mm or two thick on crumpets, but I’m crazy).

Eat that malty salty goo!

No, it’s not illegal. That’s just a rumor. I’m an American who hasn’t tried Vegemite, but has tried and likes Marmite, but I think we should all sing.

I’m a happy little Vegemite,
As bright, as bright can be!
I always eat my Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea!
My mummie says I’m growing stronger
Every single week
Because I love my Vegemite!
I enjoy my Vegemite!
It puts a rose in every cheek!

Isn’t it illegal to export that stuff?

But it was a place to make a purchase, and they obviously had vegemite. If he had thought to ask, I bet he could have bought it.

I prefer to describe the taste as “yucky.” But I come from the land of American Processed Cheese Food, so what do I know?

One minor quibble…the man in Brussels simply smiled and gave away the sandwich in response to a language inquiry. No purchase was required.
