Estava a ouvir a música Down Under dos Men At Work, e quando o cantor falou em "vegemite sandwich" não pude resistir a ir ao Answers.com, que deu como resultado o seguinte texto da Wikipedia:
Vegemite (pronounced "VEH-gee-mite" [...]) is the registered brand name for a dark brown, salty food paste mainly used as a spread on sandwiches and toast, though occasionally used in cooking. Popular in Australia and New Zealand—Vegemite is semi-jokingly called one of Australia's national foods—it is seldom found
elsewhere. Food technologist Dr. Cyril P. Callister invented Vegemite in 1923 when his employer, the
Australian Fred Walker Company, had him develop a spread from Brewer's Yeast.
Vegemite is based on a yeast extract. It is actually a by-product of brewing and also contains malt extract. Vegemite is a rich source of the vitamin B group, including Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), and Folate (B6).
[...]
Many non-Australians became aware of Vegemite when it was mentioned in the lyrics of "Down Under". This worldwide hit for the Australian pop group Men At Work in the early 1980s was used as an "unofficial anthem" when Australia won the America's Cup sailing competition.
Pronto, para que não haja mais dúvidas. Eu sei que isto também vos atormentava... ;-)
