Ovaltine, Vegemite Banned in Denmark
Fox News ^

Posted on 06/02/2011 4:55:38 PM PDT by nickcarraway

After news that Britain's beloved Marmite has been removed from supermarket shelves in Denmark it emerged Thursday that Australia's favorite spread, Vegemite, has also been added to the Scandanavian country's banned list.

Denmark has ordered Vegemite, along with Marmite and Ovaltine, off its shelves because food authorities have never confirmed claims that it is a "rich source of Vitamin B" and folate.

Has water been approved by the Danish government? I think no one in Denmark should be allowed to ingest water, until a lengthy approval process.

Has Australia declared war yet. They sell lots of these commodities at the Lotus supermarket in Chiang Mai, Thailand, much to the amusement of the locals. A young niece’s account of her tasting Vegemite could be a standup routine. This from a girl who eats ant eggs - it must be really bad.

Well they can use Bovril to oil their engines though. (ps, thanks for your service. My dad was a Marine pilot in ‘Nam)

I tried Vegemite once. Truly nasty stuff. I think you have to grow up eating it in order to delude yourself into thinking it's edible.

Denmark - what a funny little country. Wooden shoes and windmills. And the little boy sticking his finger in the dike. Rosie O’Donnell is still mad at him about that.

I guess. Jao’s concern that she might have to cut her tongue off to get rid of the taste kind of gave me the hint. You must be brave!!
