This is what I tried to tell Catweazle about Vegemite recently. Marmite - Vegemite -- both come from the same circle of Hell. However, Catweazle's reaction taught me to stop criticizing any of the various bizarre foods favored by any Her Majesty's subjects (where is he, anyway?). BTW, when we lived in England, my kids could never get over the nasty mess that the Brits call "pickles."
Kansas, of course, is the home of "normal" food -- most of which is either (a) fried or (b) found floating in Jello. If they could figure out how to deep fat fry Jello, the world would be a perfect place.
