Vegemite

[Lemur]

Well, I remember being in middle school when Men At Work was on the radio. (Hey kids, gather 'round, and listen to old gramps tell you about the before-time, when we got our music on harmful rays beamed through the air ...)

The weirdest thing is that Mrs. Lemur, who has cheffed some high-class restaurants in her time, has never fed me Vegemite. Oh, she's served up every other weird food known to man, but not that. Now I'm curious. But I don't want to try it by myself -- as Prole explains, there's a world of difference between trying a new food wrongly and rightly. I'll need a native guide to show me how to eat the stuff.

-edit-

Was until Kraft, that American company bought it, anyway.

According to the Wiki article, Kraft bought into the Vegemite brand in the 1920s. That's one long grudge you're carrying ...
