Try Vegemite In Australia

Vegemite is a dark brown food paste made from brewer's yeast extract (used in brewing beer).  When I traveled to Europe in 2007 I met a few Aussies who actually brought tubes of Vegemite with them to have on their toast. I knew when I went to Australia I had to try it.

At a glance, it looked like it had the potential to taste good and possibly be sweet.  I was told by some locals to spread some butter on toast with a very thin film of Vegemite.  I did just that and it was AWFUL.  It was bitter, and smelled horrible.  I have heard it is an acquired taste, but I don't plan on trying it ever again so I can acquire its taste.
