stales wails: Vegemite is a yeast extract - urban mythology has it as a product of the spent yeast from the breweries

For once, urban mythology isn't so wrong. I listened to a radio programme years ago which spent an absorbing 30 minutes discussing the origins of Vegemite (yum). It was apparently the result of an effort to find something constructive to do with the left-over yeasts from the brewing industry. Don't remember any claims being made that it is actually made from them now, though. And I'm not sure which side of the brewing process I prefer!
