Spread the word about my favorite spread.
It’s back. After an absence of more than six months, a batch of kosher Vegemite should hit supermarket shelves in the new year, Kosher Australia (KA) announced this week.The general manager of Melbourne’s kashrut authority, Yankel Wajsbort, reported that it had reached an agreement with Vegemite manufacturer Kraft, allowing immediate production of a kosher batch of 175-gram jars of the iconic spread. The batch should be available in late January.“We’ve always found Kraft to be extremely cognisant of the needs of the kosher community,” Wajsbort told the AJN.“It [reinstating kosher Vegemite] took significant changes in Kraft’s production processes and it took a long time to get those changes in place.”Wajsbort said the first kosher batch would bear a “K” symbol and would have a use-by date of December 13, 2005.
Excellent. I hope this means I can stop buying Marmite and have my parents send me the real deal from Australia.

So tell what does the stuff taste like?
Dave, how could you eat Marmite? You have fouled ‘the temple of your body’ ‘ its axle grease. Dispose of any remaining portions over the security fence. YUK!
Axle grease…..is that good on a ritz
Dan, Dave and I probably have only a few things in common – our shared love of Vegemite is one. But to eat the imitation ‘ Marmite, is an act of desperation and self loathing. Its rumoured that research into Marmite was funded by the forefathers of the PLO.It fuels the Shihab3. Even occasional eaters of Marmite suffer desensitised taste buds and extremely well lubricated evacuations, which I suppose is a good thing; because if one thing doesn’t give you the S’tz something else will. (by all means put Vegemite on your Ritz)
What can I tell you..I was desperate!
