To be honest, and I'll probably lose my citizenship over this,* I'm not
that great a fan of Vegemite. It's too salty for me and the only place I
really like a lot of salt is on fish and chips (e.g. I annoy my younger
brother the cook by refusing to put salt into the water used to cook
pasta).

was told I could never have Pavlova ever again!

I've never heard that before. Peanut butter is bland enough that most
people will eat it.
