Bizarre Cultural Foods You Won't Find In Your Local Restaurant

Vegemite

Vegemite, a favorite food in Australia, is a dark brown spread made of brewer’s yeast extract, vegetables, and spices. It is smeared on everything from toast and crackers to pastries and sandwiches. The flavor of vegemite, which has been described as salty, savory, and a little bitter, is very strong, which is why it should be used in very small quantities. Using too much is one of the mistakes made by those trying it for the first time. Vegemite was developed in 1919 as a way to utilize the used yeast from breweries. Breaking down the yeast cells created this paste. Though vegemite is a cultural food in Australia, it is quite similar to a product known as marmite in the United Kingdom.
