As an American I have to stand up for vegemite, too. It's got an unexpectedly strong flavor, but spread thin on toast it's rather nice. I think that most people who try it more than once or twice develop a taste for it, at least in small quantities.

This has been an interesting thread on how taste and cultural
conditioning relate. As an Australian I have to stand up for our
national honor (such as Australia has) and say I love vegemite. We are
fed it from a young age; almost all Australians love it; most
non-Australians hate it. My favorite way to eat it: piece of burnt toast
(black -- melds with the black vegemite), butter, vegemite, topped with
a fried egg. Excellent hangover food; lots of B vitamins. For the
record: I also love maple syrup and peanut butter. Lots of Australians
love peanut butter. I tried Durian at the NAFEX meeting in North
Carolina the summer before last-- no thanks!

mIEKAL, Marmite is wonderful! Vegemite is about the only thing we could
find close to it when I brought my husband over to the US. Donna
