What is the name of the brown paste made out of yeast that many Australians like to spread on toast and sandwiches?

It is called "Vegemite" and is somewhat similar to English "Marmite". Non-Australians seem to think it is disgusting, but it is great on toast, bread and dry biscuits and you can even make a hot drink out of it. It is healthy and nutritious, it is made from yeast extract and contains niacin, thiamine, riboflavin and folate. Many Australian kids (including myself) have grown up on it since 1923. Go out and get a jar and find out what you have been missing out on since 1923.
