It could have been an all out war - Australia could have decided to rename the Pavlova as Australia, then the Kiwis really would have needed some gripe water :D Weet A bix - Pfft! Weetbix, ends there. weet-bix, agree :), in NZ the ad goes "....kiwi kids, are weet-bix kids' I think wikipedia (or some other equally as infallible website) recently confirmed the pavlova's kiwi origins!

we have vegemite AND marmite in NZ, but our marmite is nothing like the gloopy english marmite, its like vegemite but a little sweeter! Not sure how kiwis feel about eating "australia" though? How about weet-bix vs weet-a-bix?? NZ McDonalds do a burger called the "kiwiburger" which I think has beetroot in it. :)

[ Muse; think the Embassy is trying to contact you, you need to surrender passport :D Ha ha - they can try, but i'm holding onto my Vegemite (aka Australia) very tightly, breakfast wouldn't be same without it! BTW it can be bought from Spinneys usually, sometimes Carrefour as well if anyone needs a dose of bliss. For the record, I am really not keen on beetroot in burgers or anywhere else for that matter, and not so enamoured with fairy bread either, so I can probably hold onto my British passport a while longer....?

I am British but much prefer Vegemite to Marmite and made the switch in preference when I first tried Vegemite while travelling in Australia about 20 years ago. Marmite blieeegghh, Vegemite yum!! Muse; think the Embassy is trying to contact you, you need to surrender passport :D

Sorry, I've just scraped myself up off the floor... Are you saying that they have changed the name of Vegemite to "Australia" ? Are you serious??? Are you absolutely sure they have done this? This is not some PR stunt or early April Fools? First trying to turn it cheesy and now this??? I'm sorry, call it what you want, but anything other than Vegemite is UNpatriotic! Oh, and yes, *ahem* I totally agree about Fairybread *blush*. _______ scrap post, just saw it's till Australia Day only. Phew! _____________ <em>edited by The Fairybread Thief on 23/01/2012</em>

You ladies keep on ranting. To anyone who is neither British nor Australian, both taste absolutely disgusting.:):):) It is on that point that the Aus and Brits join forces! Crazy Americans who only eat peanut butter and jelly (jelly which is jam but they call it jelly like crazy people :D) Don't the Kiwis have their own version of Vegemite too? I'm Dutch, so we only do cheese and hagelslag :)

Would have replied sooner but had to clean the vomit off my keyboard... blaaaah... Marmite is what Britain WISHES was Vege! Marmite is a Karama LV...

Can take the Sheila out of Australia but can't take the Australia out of the Sheila :D You're bl00dy right you cannot :D Australia is delicious, Birts just don't know taste, I mean, you eat something called spotted d1ck and the name doesn't disturb you enough to turn you off - what more can I say :D Get your mind out of that gutter Amy!!!!!

really?? It's still vile... Go for Marmite; much better :) Agreed, Vegemite doesn't have a patch on Marmite. ETA it's only a temporary re branding in the run up Australia day. They're not changing it for good. <em>edited by Chocs01 on 23/01/2012</em>
