As a native Kiwi, I grew up on Vegemite, was given Marmite, but 
didn't like it, and would drink a cup of milk with a really lot of 
milo and sugar mixed in ... mostly milo and sugar, a little bit of 
milk.

I am pretty much American now, except I can get my Kiwi accent back 
out when I drink heavily, another story altogether ... anyway, I had 
a friend in Scotland ship over some vegemite ... and I didn't like it 
all that much.  

Here's my thoughts on that:  Vegemite is an acquired taste.  Once you 
taste it and like it, if you don't eat it fairly often, well, at 
least once in 15 years, you no longer have the taste acquisition, and 
have to start all over again. (Yeah, not sure if that sentence was in 
the English language, let alone made sense)  

Has this happened to anyone else with vegemite or anything else?  Or 
an I just that wierd?  Well, that wierd and dis-acquired a taste for 
Vegemite.

lvoe for vegemite during her trip back home in March!  :)
