Vegemite quiche (like vegemite and avocado toast, and lots of other stuff 
with vegemite) is actually good.

For those who are unsure, vegemite is made by taking the yeast deposit 
left after brewing beer. Add a lot of salt, a few other things, and you 
have a black substance that looks a bit like tar. (But then my mother ate 
tar Ice-cream in Helsinki last month. And I know of somebody called 
Cariadoc, who is a respectable person with a proper job. It does take all 
sorts)

I heard of an australian who went to Czechoslovakia in the early 
eighties. He took, as Australians do, a survival jar of Vegemite (About a 
pint). 

It should be noted that while some of us eat vegemite spread like 
cheese on a pizza, most eat it spread VERY thin - the amount that would 
sit on my (large) thumbnail is plenty for the average vegemite sandwich.

At any rate, when he got to the customs point he was asked what the 
substance in the jar was. To which he replied, naturally enough, "food".
Unfortunately the official, having smelled the contents, and looked at 
them, felt taht this was an at best unlikely story. After a short 
discussion, he decided it could be proven by the traveller. So a spoon 
was produced. In the end it proved necessary only to eat about half the 
contents.

(I like a lot of vegemite, but I think I would have a hard time getting 
that far)
