Stephen E. Collins says:Vegamite is very common in Australia, much like
peanut butter is in the US.  It's about the texture of peanut butter, but
with the
flavor of yeast (yuck! I think you have to aquire the taste very early
in life :-)

In the UK it is known as Marmite and is a yeast extract. Though
officianados may quibble over which is better they're much the same, though
I believe Marmite was the original. Thinly smeared on hot toast it is
superb with soft boiled eggs.
Enjoy!
