- Tenlow, on 10/12/2007, -10/+94And more importantly, why do you know what salted ass tastes like?
Am I missing out on a new way to drink shots of tequila? - TheSeeker11, on 10/12/2007, -9/+88"ugh! Good, this stuff tastes like salted ass!"
Who does your research? - nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+67Now the FCC is going to have to censor that "land down under" song. "He just smiled and gave me a v*bleep"ite sandwich"
- grooviekenn, on 10/12/2007, -6/+68Sorry.. but I'm not going to take any advice from anyone that knows what salty ass tastes like PERIOD
- Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+57How fair is that? We signed the "free" trade deal, followed you unquestioningly into Iraq, and THIS is how you repay us? It's sickening.
- ojk007, on 10/12/2007, -6/+55Wow, america is way too regulated.

How to eat vegimite!
1. Get a piece of bread or a cracker.
2. Spread as much on as possible. (the more you put on the better it tastes! Trust me im an Aussie!)
3. Eat as Slowly as possible. - unloud, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40Hey, dice01.....stay off the internet today, ok? Thanks.
- jinki, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39A Current Affair is going to have a field day.
- JHawk24821, on 10/24/2007, -3/+37"The (US) Food and Drug Administration doesn't allow the import of Vegemite simply because the recipe does have the addition of folic acid."
WHEW!, do I feel safe knowing that the FDA is combing the border for Vegemite. Not like they should be looking for drugs or illegal aliens or anything like that.
"What's in the car, son?"
"Oh, nothing. Just some African Grays, 38 Hispanics, 6 kilos of nose candy, some unrefined plutonium, and some cherry bombs."
"Hmm.... you wouldn't happen to have any Vegemite now, would you?"
"Heck no sir, I don't touch the stuff. They say it has [looks around] bread ingredients in it."
"Good job son, on your way" - Duncast, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36We can only hope, and take that reality show fad crap too.
- sorrow, on 10/12/2007, -5/+34I don't care how the stuff does or does not taste, know what this means to me? The government is really going to start cashing in on its new abilities to do whatever the ***** they please.
- jmzook, on 10/24/2007, -2/+31Ah, the FDA, they spend their time banning vegetable spreads, while drugs with deadly side-effects are approved for consumption. Isn't the bureaucracy great?
- JHawk24821, on 10/24/2007, -2/+30Dude, there are 38 Hispanics in the car, it's only about 1/3 full.
- butterflyeffect, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26nah, that's definitely a Today Tonight thing.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28As far as I know, vegemite is usually eaten with bread... so, what's the big deal?
...and just to pose the question: does anybody eat raw vegemite by the spoon full from the jar? ...humm, I think I just stumbled on the next stunt for fear factor. - estvir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21I speak on behalf of Australia when I say: Not cool, not cool at all.
I think Australia should retaliate.. what can we ban, Twinkies and bad beer ?
Hell, Johnny be a man for once and declare war on the US, no one bans Vegemite and gets away with it, NO ONE.
/makes some toast.
Does this remind anyone else of that Simpson episode where Bart prank calls a family in Aus ?
I - shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26vegemite is the stuff of champions... seriously.
i don't understand how non australians don't love it like we do... - neonblue2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20It is usually eaten on bread and toast, and there are also Vegemite flavoured biscuits. And to answer your question, I have eaten Vegemite without bread or butter to dilute the taste.
- Murphious, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I hate that show so damn much, but you're right. I can picture it now....
"Young Aussie battlers stripped of their pride through unnecessarily outrageous bans on Vegimite"
(A note to the US; the show sensationalises everything and for some reason uses the term "aussie battler" a lot.. It's awful and if you watch it; my god have mercy on your soul) - Murphious, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Marmite is Vegimite's bastard brother that owes it a favour or two..
- vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -10/+24but is it as good as Chef's Salty Balls?
- kelwyn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17You don't eat it by the spoonful, you just sorta suck on it for a while. It's top stuff. Can be disolved in water to make vegetable stock for cooking too.
- nixonrichard, on 10/24/2007, -2/+16I hear the terrorists are trying to use trans-fats in NYC too.
- corkster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17The first step of the Anzac-Americo War on 2007 - America bans vegemite
- nfsnobody, on 10/12/2007, -8/+21It's not about the taste. It's a classic Aussie icon. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the taste of it either.
- reticulate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13They'd have to add at least two dodgy tradespeople, a new type of diet pill and possibly a dole bludger to have a story though.
Incidentally, any Aussies here ever watch Frontline? - t4k3n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Well i've been growing stronger every single week.. i dunno about the rest of you's!
Next they'll be banning Wiggity Grubs.. - jeffiek, on 10/24/2007, -2/+13I thought it was impossible for the FDA to get worse.
I was wrong. - Angostura, on 10/24/2007, -2/+12Ah. As a Brit married to an Australian, you can imagine that there is an ongoing ah - discussion about Marmite v Vegemite. Marmite was the original, and Vegemite is essentially a watered down version created for the delicate ozzie palate.
/Flame on - reticulate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Liberty Spread!
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folate
Don't see what the deal is with banning folate in general. - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15Marmite came first, pony breath......
http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/marmite.htm - JHawk24821, on 10/24/2007, -4/+13When I read that it was banned, the first thought that came to mind that it was somehow related to terrorism. I was asking myself how Vegemite could be seen as dangerous, then it occurred to me that someone probably took it on a plane, or tried to at least, and the airports nut balls thought it was a bomb. Man, what a world we live in when the first train of thought is something to due with reduction of our liberties, terrorism, or airports.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Random taste test in my office here (Japan) - 8 out of 10 people liked it.
Vegemite on toast everyday for me :) - Murphious, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11John Howard be a man?
You might as well ask Michael Jackson to be black again! It's not going to happen... Ever...
And as for banning twinkies? Do any Australians actually eat that stuff (Twinkies I mean)?
Isn't it funny how the Americans on Digg are complaining about Vegimites taste while we complain about how unhealthy their favourite (note the U in favourite) food stocks are? It's a really different culture over there... - Murphious, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10:|
What the hell are they driving to fit all that in!? - clintonforbes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9As an Australian and a Vegemite lover, I am thrilled at this news. The last thing Australia needs, in these uncertain times of long-term drought, is another shortage of an important natural resource - Vegemite.
I would hate to think that the US would stockpile our favourite sandwich spread and use it as a bargaining chip to keep our troops in Iraq. - NerdENerd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I just revoked my Asutralian citizenship with that typo!
- noeljohnhoward, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12my stomach banned this ***** for a long time now
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I seriosly dont know what the hell twinkies are except they are popular in america and unhealthy, and maybe yellow
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Thats because you Americans spread it on like jam (jelly). You need to get used to the taste. Whats really bad is promite.
- dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8innaccurate
http://www.souzouzone.jp/blog/2006/10/substance_abuse.php - monkeymagik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8bah! Vegemite isn't really Australian anyway. Kraft was bought out by a Philip Morris ages ago. So when you eat Vegemite you're really funding Big Tobacco.
Try the Dick Smith version Aussiemite... or as some call it "Dickmite" :-) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Good old Dick Smith.
Remember the '*****' matches - vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10and apparently tastes of salty ass. go figure
- stacky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8In the words of Charles Firth, on CNNNN: "Tonight we investigate the miracle weight-loss program for the dodgy builder that ripped off the neighbour from hell!"
And congrats to gtvwill on his HSC. Good Luck for the next few weeks. - reticulate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7That and Tim-Tams.
- Duncast, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Its a great medicine when eaten by the spoonfull, or diluted in a hot water drink like tea. Great for colds.
I dont recommend it, unless your sick though :P
Great on toast though. - Spec8472, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9"2. Spread as much on as possible. (the more you put on the better it tastes! Trust me im an Aussie!)"
You're a bastard. :P
But yes, please IM an Aussie. (Like, Me) -
