It's an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B9. The Reduced Salt version even contains vitamins B6 and B12. These vitamins may support brain health and reduce fatigue, anxiety, stress and heart disease risk. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vegemite Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, we could create and market a Canadian version, sweetened instead with maple syrup. Stick a big maple leaf on the front label, half red, half Union Jack. Call it Canamite Catamite?

chester 773 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 ok, the interviewie in that link is a fucking hoot But when you’ve got Marjorie saying Jewish laser beams started a fire and all this other crazy stuff — it’s like eating a garlic cupcake. Oh, it looks great. It’s got a little chocolate in it, but the thing’s full of garlic. It’s unpalatable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cisco 168 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Talk about never ending story... The original dumbarse and his tribe are now in Australia (the vids are running a bit behind )where upon arrival they stack on a blue with the Border Force people clearing them in. Then they bleat about the 10 days at sea not counting towards quarantine... too fucking dumb to know that if one person brings covid aboard a boat with a crew of four it can be bouncing around for over a month... Then there was the rendezvous with another yacht while on passage.... OK so it was also heading Fiji to Oz but that is neither here nor there.... dickheads... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
