There are certain foods one must grow up eating. Vegemite is such food for it has its own particular smell and taste! Anyway, ‘THE tiny town of Beaufort, Victoria, has a well kept secret, and it tastes like an Australian icon.

Ten minutes north of Beaufort, in Chute, the man who invented Vegemite was born and raised.

Cyril Callister was born in 1893 and spent his early years there in a house that is still standing.

The fact is not widely known but the Beaufort Progress Association wants to change that – beginning with Australia Day 2019.

“With Australia Day coming, what do we all think about?” Association president Liza Robinson said.

“We think about our traditions, we think about Vegemite, Anzac biscuits, our flag, and all that stuff.”

Beaufort’s cafés and hotels will be offering Vegemite-themed food, including Vegemite flavoured sausages, cheese and Vegemite scrolls, and more.’ https://www.theland.com.au/story/5862663/celebrate-the-man-who-invented-vegemite/?src=rss&utm_email=1ec342a17f&utm_source=The+Land+Newsletters&utm_campaign=e88cb54e2d-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ade9099b1a-e88cb54e2d-114568689
