Vegemite is similar to Marmite that's common in Britain and former colonies. It's loaded with vitamins that can be hard to get in certain situations (like when meat is short).

It tastes like a combination of steak, Guinness and soy sauce.

That's amazingly accurate except its like a thousand steaks, 1000 pints of Guinness and 1000 litres of soy sauce in a 200ml jar.

It's impossible to get over how intense the taste is. Even a wafer thin coating of it is too much on toast.
