And uses the word “sludge” twice in the first two minutes. I may be a defender of British food, but I have to confess I could never get into the dark yeasty stuff. (Via The Book Bench)

Just had whole grain toast with butter and Vegemite for brekkie in Oz. Love it!

Terry,

You say Vegemite, I say Marmite…..and I say them both in my book, which triggered the NPR piece! The book is: The Mish-Mash Dictionary of Marmite: an anecdotal A-Z of ‘Tar-in-a-Jar’. Check it out on: Mish-Mash-Marmite.blogspot.com   For you guys in Oz the best deal is to buy it from The Book Depository BTW: Vegemite is mentioned 40 times! Not bad for a book with Marmite in its title…cheers, Maggie Hall.
