SC - vegemite

[marilyn traber]

On an odd impulse[and i dont want to hear about it ;-)] I did a search on
vegemite- and also found info on bovril, marmite and promite.
There were ovver 2000 references on the net by hotbot seek for vegemite. It
sort of boggles the mind, dont it?

here is the ode to marmite
An Ode to Marmite
The Joy of Marmite

I spread my Marmite sparingly, upon my buttered toast
Of all the things to put on bread, it's what I like the most.

Its flavour always feels warm, although it isn't hot
- --Caustic like a chili sauce, it certainly is not

Approved by vegetarians, and good for your nutrition
Of what my Mum called savoury, the very definition.

Though made from lowly byproducts--leftover brewing ooze
It is so reminiscent of the finest of French stews

Such grand associations were surely what was meant
When so named by clever brewers from Burton on the Trent

Precisely what exquisite yeast do Marmite makers use
To lend such gourmet qualities to brewing residues?


A.R.D. Pepper, March 1993

I couldn't backtrack and find the ode to vegemite, but it is similar.
