It's pretty silly for the government to ban something that no native born American will eat in the first place! Funny how you'll eat something that you were brought up with that other people will say "would choke a maggot!" For me, gefilte fish is wonderful. According to my "goyshe" friends, it's something they don't want to look at, let alone touch or eat!
If you're not born into it, you have to develop a taste for it, or just avoid it, and Vegemite is one of those things.
The US banning another terrific food - I know that I once resorted to "Black Market Jelly Babies" when I was "into" Dr. Who.

We need a Constitutional Amendment to stop the government from banning stuff that doesn't actually outright KILL you!

"Vegemite" is a spread, sort of like peanut butter, that is made from yeast, and LOTS of salt. Really, really a huge amount of salt. It's practically inedible. Truly foul. But for some reason, the Aussies seem to like it.My personal theory is that it comes from Austrailia originally being a prison colony, and vegemite was a part of the punishment. The prisoners were fed it every day, and it became a staple for them. That and the old saying, "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

You hit the nail on the head with that description.

it is homecoming, there are 8 kids going to dinner at the country club and then to the dance at the school. It is a Catholic all boys HS, he and his friends each asked a girl from their catholic elementary school [from which they just graduated in 8th grade this past May] to the dance. we have known the people involved forever. xshub and another dad are doing the pick up from the dance and taking them home. it should be fine, but i did have some anxiety about it. xshub reported that when he and xsboy picked the young lady up at her home, xsboy went to the door to get her and then sat in the front seat of the SUV with his dad, leaving her to sit behind them. i roared! he is SOOOOO not ready for primetime!

#1 in a series of I'm sick of the bowing and scrapping bs the US is ever expected to do rants. Well, knock off the scrapping, then.
Scrap heaps are not terribly appealing.
They might even givve you a scrape.

I LOVE vegemite. The problem is that it can cause incredible and uncontrollable flatulence. BLAAAAAAAT!!!I'm shocked! You mean that when you eat tiny little critters that consume sugars and produce CO2 you get "the vapors?" Who knew?!?!

Hmmm.... They seem to have left off the final, and most important sentances...
Following months of laboratory tests, Dr. Cyril P Callister, who became the nations leading food technologist of the 1920s and 30s developed a tasty spreadable paste. It came in a two ounce (57g) amber glass jar capped with a Phoenix seal with the label "Pure Vegetable Extract. The problem was Dr. Callister was murdered before he could record the formula, and it was lost forever. So Kraft released Vegamite instead, which was originally designed as an industrial spackle."

(I have a big jar of it! Come and get me!)Yet another example of the government making criminals out of us... Just a week or two ago, it seems I broke state, and quite possibly federal drug laws by bumming a few Cold Formula Advils off of a co-worker, due to the chance that I might start up a meth lab with them!
