I have heard of vegemite but never seen it. We also have emu here in Iowa believe it or not! We have farmers who raise them here. I will have to look up some of the things you mention and check them out!
Thanks so much for answering my question!
Vegemite has changed in its flavour since the American company bought it. I used to like it until then. I suppose they were trying to make it palatable to other people as well as Australians. It is definitely not as good. The same can be said of the Arnott's biscuits as well. They are half the size and have a different flavour. I this way, food is becoming much more similar and gradually loses the individuality which keeps it attractive.
