Vegemite

This Australian paste is made from brewers' yeast extract. It's actually a byproduct of beer production. It's incredibly salty and even a little bit bitter. The most common way to eat it is to spread some butter on toast, and then spread a thin layer of Vegemite over it.

Just the Vegemite, which I find . . . challenging. One of the funniest products I spotted in Australia was Cougar Cola, a canned whiskey and coke drink; I don't think "cougar" has the same connotation there, but it cracked me up.
