NO! vegemite, is rather tasty stuff infact. Sure, it might take some
getting used to by the uninitiated, but as long as you start off by
not spreading it too thick on your sandwich or toast, and gradually
building up to a thick slab after a few weeks practice, it's pretty
much turned into a physical dependency.

A nice "soup" can be made too- just stir in 1 or 2 teaspoons of the
stuff to a mug of hot water (oooh, my mouth's watering just thinking
of it :) My family easily goes through a jar of the stuff each week.
