Classic. No demerits for spelling or grammar, but crikey to spell ignorant incorrectly is totally hilarious on so many levels. Ok maybe just two.
Basically what I’m saying is you are overly nationalistic and over the top proud.
“Dumb thing to do on an international forum.”
You called it!
Listen, nothing personal meinem kleinen Liebenwurstkuchen. I’m not telling you what to post, but the subject is pepper cheese. Replies such as:
“Ashgrove Farm Wild Wasabi chesse is an interesting take on pepper cheese but not liking Wasabi I havn'nt tasted it anddon'tintend to. Jindi Brie is a great chhese IMO.”
Are great! Maybe a little info as to what is available in Oz. Some real details on the types of pepper cheese you guys have. Does Jindi Brie have peppers? Of course not.
And then sprintman has to tell us general export numbers, and just how much of yet another aussie product should be jammed down our throats. Don’t try to sell us on your country so hard. Plenty of people go there and love it. Your export products vary of course, but in general don’t survive the boat trip all that well. The products with “Aussie” slapped on them are generally a rip-off. The best thing shipped out of Australia IMHO? Hardie Products. It certainly isn’t your wine or cheese!
That’s about it – just my opinion.
About time you realised that. Took long enough
sprintman does a have a sense of humor. Good on ya!! (I say we do need a real aussie flag, not one of those made in China, U.S. flags)
Oops - I gave credit to alreadygone - it's harrydog spreading these nasty rumors.
Yers why can't we have an Oz flag?
Probably just need to find the oz flag gremlin on the web somewhere.

I made a Vegemite and Commonwealth Blue Ensign gremlin for Shannow a long time ago.
Vegemite isn't Australian it's American owned (Kraft).
Vegemite?
We don't actually eat that stuff.

Yeah, Vegemite can't be sold here.
I know who eats 6 millions pounds of that stuff per year. Thank you for buying American!

U.S company but definitely not an American product. We now buy Aussie Mite or Mighty Mite which taste better. Others avaiable are Promite, Marmite, etc.
Vegemite is considered as much a part of Australia's heritage as kangaroos and the Holden cars. It is actually an Australian obsession that has become a unique and loved symbol of the Australian nation.
A Vegemite sandwich to an Australian kid is the equivalent of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to an American kid - but the taste is QUITE different!
Vegemite is one of several yeast extract spreads sold in Australia. It is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract (a by-product of beer manufacture) and various vegetable and spice additives. It is very dark reddish-brown, almost black, in color, and one of the richest sources known of Vitamin B. It's thick like peanut butter, it's very salty, and it tastes like - well let's just say that it is an acquired taste!
Australian children are brought up on Vegemite from the time they're babies. It is said that Australians are known to travel all over the world with at least one small jar of Vegemite in their luggage, for fear that they will not be able to find it.

History of Vegemite
In 1922, Fred Walker (1884-1935) of Melbourne, Australia decided to try to make a special "yeast extract" that would be as delicious as it was nourishing for his Fred Walker Cheese Company to sell. The chief scientist in the company Fred owned was Dr. Cyril P. Callister, and it was Dr. Callister who invented the first Vegemite spread. He used brewer's yeast and blended the yeast extract with ingredients like celery, onion, salt, and a few secret ingredients to make this paste. In 1912, a national competition and a prize of 50 pounds was offered to the winner or winners to name the new product.. The name ‘Vegemite’ was finally chosen from the entries by Fred’s daughter Sheilah .
With its unusual and unique flavor, Vegemite was not an immediate success and sales were slow. In 1928 Vegemite was renamed and registered as Parwill in an attempt to boost its sales and to attract customers of the rival spread Marmite (an English yeast spread that dominated the Australian market sinc 1910). "If Marmite...then Parwill" was the rationale behind Walker's strategy to carve a niche in the market for his spread. The name Parwill and Walker's play on words didn't catch on. It was only sold as Parwill for a short time in Queensland. The name was withdrawn in 1935, and the original name was reinstated.
Earlier, in 1925, Walker had arranged with the Chicago, Illinois firm of James L. Kraft to make processed cheese in Australia. A company called the Kraft Walker Cheese Co. was established alongside Fred Walker and Co. In 1935, Walker used the success of his processed cheese to launch a new campaign to revive Vegemite. The company launched 2-year coupon redemption scheme whereby a jar of Vegemite was given away with every purchase of other products in the Fred Walker Cheese Company. Australians tried the product and loved it. Vegemite was well and truly on the road to success.
Two years later, the company held a poetry competition and once again brought Vegemite into the national spotlight. This time its success the prizes were imported American Pontiac cars. Entries flooded in and sales multiplied.
In 1935, the recipe and manufacturing methods was sold to Kraft Foods and has been wholly owned and made by American companies. In 1939 Vegemite received endorsement from the British Medical Association which allowed doctors to recommend it as a Vitamin B-rich, nutritionally balanced food for patients.
In World War II, soldiers, sailors, and the civilian population of Australia all had Vegemite included in their rations. Soldiers’ Vegemite came in three sizes: seven-pound tins for the platoon, eight-ounce tins for soldiers on the go, and half-ounce rations for behind enemy lines. This war-time demand meant that civilian were limited. Hence, advertisements were run to explain the situation: “Vegemite fights with the men up north! If you are one of those who don’t need Vegemite medicinally, then thousands of invalids are asking you to deny yourself of it for the time being.”
The main change to the original recipe in recent years has been to reduce the salt content from 10% to 8%.

Promite (Masterfoods of Australia) contains glycerol monostearate. Isn't that a plastic lubricant? Ick!
