What is fufu....jj (fufu ain't that bad!)

Vegemite is a weird 80's slimy vegetable thing made popular by the famous Australian pop group "Men at Work".


Here's the line that made it famous (imagine the accompaniment of a pan flute synthesizer with electronic drums, upbeat and 80's pop style)

"I said do you speak-a my language
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwhich"

Vegemite is so good and was actually invented in 1922, so was around in my grandparent's time (not since the 80's). Tom is assuming that because the first time he heard of vegemite was in the song by Men at Work that that is when it came about, but it has been an Australian icon for many, many years.

My favourite vegemite moment was when an American friend of mine wanted to try it and put a thick slab on a piece of bread. I tried explaining to him that you only need a little bit as it has a strong flavour, but he would not listen. The look on his face was priceless.

When I lived in Kansas, my roommate wanted to try vegemite, so I put some on toast for her, and I actually took a photo of the moment it hit her taste buds - LOL!!!

Vegemite was invented as a way to use the by-products of beer-making. It's a black, salty, yeasty paste. There is a New Zealand version called promite, and it's not quite as strong tasting, and a little bit sweet as well as salty. There's also marmite, which is British I think, and it not as strong as vegemite either, but not sweet like promite.

Oh... right... evolution...

In that case, when I go to the tournaments, I like to see which strong, virile man wins the heavyweight match, because clearly he has good muscle tone, conditioning, and skills, which could help him to build me a cabin and kill the bears to protect me and my baby...

Well, there go my chances with Cakegirl....

Doesn't this just speak volumes? I have been directed recently towards understanding the extent to which the male mind is one-tracked and selfish.

You sound more like a kiwi than an Aussie mate!

Vegemite is definately an acquired taste, I've trained my 5 pet kangaroos, 6 emus and my koala BEAR to eat it for breakfast.

Hey Pole gal, I had no idea vegemite was invented so long ago but I know that it became popular world wide by "Men at Work."

Oh yeah, keep on dancing...

You've got my interest....

What do you drink with vegemite? Beer?

[cakegirl]

Beer would make sense!
