Didn't find any Vegemite in my local food mart. What is it and why you Australian swear by it?

Marimite is available @ Amazon, and speciality grocers. The reason it is largely unavailable in US is becoz it was wrongly assumed that it is illegal in US per FDA as it has folic acid , and the belief is only breads and cereal can have such folic acids in non vegetable products as it causes problems when consumed @ levels more than 1000mg per day. Considering the British and Aussies haven't mastered the American language and mentality its obvious vegemite is dangerous to ones mental state. We have evidence enough. In fact Australians are or used to be screened for vegemite at customs (though it was not a law).
/ignore off

I know we shouldn't feed the troll, but geez what a moron, and in public as well.

Marmite is not vegemite you cretin.  and it's spelt Marmite - not Marimite .  Marmite is also not australian
If you're going to trawl google before contributing, at least make the effort to even remotely look like you might have a clue.

OTOH, in case you hadn't worked it out yet - the reason why most of your posts are ignored are because you are a first class dickhead.  Your above contribution confirms it.  When people do respond it's because they can no longer suffer reading the stupid and inane responses that your post in a desperate attempt to appear to have relevance. 

that's another 2 minutes of my life that you've robbed, so get back to the village - they're missing their parking inspector and the donkeys are getting out of control.....

Considering that virtually no American knows of Vegemite or Marimite unless they have Aussie connecions you should credit me for my cultural awareness, and the folic acid thing shows I could be a nutritionist too. Oh u r rite about speling, most people here do not spell good since we use spell checkers (maybe not even that). Take a poll of Vegemite awareness in the USA treads and also about its alleged bans, folic acid content etc. And I do resect the ENglish educational system ur O levels and A levels produces great spellers. Frankly the reason spelling is so heavily emphasized in UK & Oz is to prepare u for breath analyzer tests for DUI in USA. We hvae witnessed qute a few examples, they knew the alphabet backward and forward, and hey u r good for something let me not take that away.

The best thing for you would be a degree of contumelious indifference, but seeing that you want to continue to demonstrate being a phuquewit in a public place:
1) Never been pulled over for having jars of vegemite by anyone in TSA.  Hawai'i, Maryland, Virgina, DC, Cali and Texas.  You obviously don't live in america and get out much (or don't leave your cubicle)
2) Never been pulled over and subjected to any spelling test by any of americas finest.  Never been drunk either, but thats beside the point.

Again and again you have this continuing attention seeking disorder  that places importance on being responded to irrespective of the fact that you are now SP's most prominent ignoramus.

My one hope is that who ever had biological responsibility for imposing you onto the other inhabirants of this planet saw fit to not have any more.  The thought of you being able to breed and inflict pain by generating more idiots onto the world community would be too much to bear.

I'm glad that you think you understand english, as you should seriously thinking about prefixing the word "off" with a reproductive invective.

I work for an American company which employs on our project not only Americans but also English, Australians, Emiratis, French, etc. The Programme Manager for whom we work is American. Although our contracts are all in correct English he is trying to have everyone conduct general correspondence in "American" English. I have pointed out that while many of us are aware of some unusual American spelling, as we were not educated in the US we are not familiar with "American" English. Hence, we continue to use the Queen's English. He understands this.
Herc, can you imagine the response I would get if I told the Programme Manager I couldn't comply with his instruction because I eat Vegemite???
 
You are such a d1ckhead.

Programme is spelt Program, I mean Programme is like some latin Italian novel from the 15th century- Queen's English, hilarious. There is only one English language, American English- u shall comply or be arrested by our language police soon to be launched by Obama.

Finally, War on Vegemite

Vegemite Oddly, Australians love their Vegemite — a dark paste made from yeast extract, eaten on toast, that has the taste of briny rat and the consistency of industrial lubricant* (or maybe it's the other way around). Vegemite is the Down-Under version of the equally baffling British food product Marmite. Anyway, despite having fed generations of Ozzies with no known ill effects, Vegemite is now verboten on U.S. soil.

The United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian expatriates there. The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate [a vitamin], which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals. Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for breakfast. [...] Paul Watkins, who owns a store called About Australia in San Antonio, Texas, said he had been forced to stop importing Vegemite six months ago.

I sure am glad the U.S. government is using its might and manpower to protect me from yeast extract.

you probably bought some chinese knockoff made of melamine - thats why an education is important, because then you'd know how to spell and that you are supposed to be eating something else.

seriously sport, you are a first class phuquewit.

last time I was in Cali I bought vegemite.  there are any number of aussie ex pat owned shops selling it.  and for a product thats supposed to be illegal, US State Dept staff don't seem to be too fussed about eating it at Embassy sponsored functions.

again, you're a first rate moron.

protect you from yeast?  crikey, I'd be more worried that the US immigration system seems to have spectacularly failed because they seem to have let someone into their country who is the product of an unsuccessful union between a fire hydrant and a goat.  you can pretend to be smart, but you always show how intellectually barren you are within 2 sentences.

It is actually becoming amusing as you're making our old friend "Cateyes" look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Thank you again for publicly confirming that your grasp of the english language is equivalent to a 10 year old.  Unbelievable. You actually don't have a clue.  

Stop using babelfish, it's obviously not working for you.  You need to have a basic grasp of another language if you want to use such software as a vehicle of dialogue - you just can't cut and paste to convert it into a conversational structure.

A Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe by a Turk from Turkey PDF Print E-mail
Written by Onur Celik (an actual Turk)   
Sunday, 14 December 2008 02:46

I would like to say a few words before revealing this secret recipe that will make your friends and neighbors so discontent with your culinary skills that they?ll never ask you to cook ever again! First and foremost, baklava is Turkish, dammit! My ancestors invented this form of fine fatty pastry thousands of years ago on horseback while migrating from China to Mongolia! And no wonder aliens visit this country the most — the food is anything but of this planet! I would like to end this foreword with a brief statement that I hope will shed some light on myths concerning the name of my country. I have a confession to make. No study so far could determine whether the animal was named after the country or vice-versa. Many theorize that it is the doing of benign well-meaning early modern Orientalist anthropologists who confused the language spoken in the area with the gobbling of a turkey and thus decided to name the region — and its inhabitants — after the aforementioned animal.

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 Turkey

45 toothpicks salt

1 cup (preferably a shock-absorbent type) paprika

666 cloves of garlic (use a holy hand grenade for substitute if you can?t find any)

54 Ars&&05;n tablecloth

1/5/4 cups of sushi (a day old if possible)

1 pack of English muffins

2 jars Vegemite

3 jars whiskey punch (uppercut is preferable)

3 bottles of Raki (the drink of preference of the moderately Islamic, Western-oriented, Middle-Eastern, Semi-Secular republic of Turkey)

 

DIRECTIONS:

Catch a live turkey (preferably one from Turkey, Turkish turkeys are world-renowned for their tantalizing taste). Decapitate the turkey. Gently remove skin and organs. Simultaneously, pour all the Vegemite on sushi (yummy) and preheat the oven to 365 degrees. Smash the garlic, cover it with paprika and hang it up on a wall nearby. Wash the turkey under hot whiskey punch and stuff with tablecloth. Cook for several hours and gorge, making sure to wash it down with an inhuman amount of Rak&&05;. Or save yourself the trouble and do it the traditional American way: buy an instant turkey.
