Up next, a crowd of angry Kiwis heading for the NYT offices. Vegemite is an Australian thing, New Zealanders eat Marmite. (Of course, to an outsider like me, they're both about as palatable as dipping my bread in soy sauce.)

I am a Kiwi, and like my mother I've a strong preference for Vegemite, though my father and brother are both Marmite people.
My wife is American, and has converted to being a Vegemite-lover after finally experiencing it correctly (NOT a mouthful on a spoon, like all those "look how disgusting Vegemite is" videos show). We did a blind taste test last time we were in New Zealand, and to my surprise we could both correctly tell Vegemite from Marmite, and both preferred Vegemite - even though it's Australian!
