Vegemite, the Aussie spread, is 100 years old on Wednesday (October 25).
Traditionally eaten as a thin layer on a piece of bread, the savoury spread has become a staple of diets down under, and is considered a close cousin of Marmite. On October 25 100 years ago the first jar of Vegemite was produced by chemist Cyril Callister. A century on, Vegemite remains one of the nation's most popular kitchen ingredients.
