Interesting read. I guess it's everywhere.
BTW - I've got a friend down in Innaloo. About twice a year we exchange boxes of goods from the supermarket that the other doesn't see often. This last week was my turn. I'm the proud owner of a bottle of Nando's Peri-Peri sauce but haven't opened it yet. I also had no idea that Vegemite now comes in "Cheesybite" flavor.
The jury is still out on it however.
Cheesymite Ain't Vegemite.
It's ant bait. Disgusting stuff. Throw it out!
Probably taking the Mickey out on you.

Haven't opened it yet. We'll see.
Vegemite isn't bad stuff. A bit on soda crackers with a good beer is a real treat. I have given some to friends that compare it to a cross between axle grease and something rotten. I don't get that at all, but everyone's taste is different.
I must say a jar does tend to last a good while though. A little goes a long way.
We have Vegemite and Marmite.
Similar but different enough for personal tastes.
When in Hawaii our daughter took some and the Americans generally ascribed your friends comments.
Interesting Cheesymite evolved whilst the company was in American ownership /hands.
It's not intended to be slathered on, rather scraped on an scraped off again. I like it a bit thicker than that though.
Back on topic, that fraud stuff is real and it's scary.
Companies have been fleeced by accepting "legitimate company emails" requesting transfers or payments.

Don't discount the many uses Vegemite can be put to.
You've probably heard over yonder of the many cure-alls that are good for "coughs, colds, sore holes and pimples on the d...."
Well Vegemite is one such magic concoction.
HereÛªs VegemitevixÛªs list ÛÒ a few of the 101 fabulous uses for VegemiteÛ?..
1)Hangover cure ÛÒ donÛªt need Berocca after a hard dayÛªs night out drinking ÛÒ Vegemite is FULL of vitamin B, and tastier than a raw egg yolk mixer.
2)Hair gel ÛÒ obviously for those with dark hair, otherwise it will look a little odd!
3)Gravy cheat ÛÒ whilst Gordon RamseyÛªs looking the other way slip a little of this in your gravy and voila, tasty rich gourmet gravy!
4)Morning sickness cure ÛÒ I craved the stuff whilst preggers. I couldnÛªt eat much, and that I did eat I recycled onto the daisies, but vegemite on toast was very comforting and full of folic acid for the alien growing in my tummy!
5)It will survive nuclear annihilation ÛÒ I donÛªt think it ever goes off!
6)Song lyrics ÛÒ It features as distinctive lyrics in the 1980s Men at work hit ÛÒ I come from a Land Downunder ÛÒ ÛÏBuying bread from a man in Brussels, he was six feet four and full of muscles. I said Û÷Do you speak-a my language?Ûª He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich!
7)Space stuff Australian astronauts are given vegemite to sustain them in space!
8) Soldier juice ÛÒ ANZACs had vegemite in their kit bags at Gallipoli!
9)Sushi filler ÛÒ Apparently, you can substitute vegemite for soy sauce (shoyu) in sushi! But IÛªm not sure why you would. Vegemite and wasabi? ThatÛªll blow your head off!
10)Zit zapper! ÛÒ If you put it on an ulcer or a zit it will zap it clean away! Truly!
Then there's this
Topical application of the popular spread Vegemite significantly reduces disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis, Melbourne researchers report.
So if the culinary attributes don't appeal there's much more it can be applied to.

I have had vegemite stirred up in a bowl of warm rice, similar to a splash of soy sauce and it's very good. I'm not so sure how well it would mix with seafood though.
There's a chance the fish might jump out of the bowl to get away from it! 🙂
