Dear Australians

thebitterguyMy mother, on a recent trip to your fair land (by recent, read "sometime in mid 2003") brought me back a gift of a small toy Koala and a bottle of vegemite.
Now, I have vague recollections of the substance from my time down under (WJ '88), and it was generally considered to be the kind of thing locals feed to visitors as a gag (Sure, we always eat Poutine! It's great! Try some!).
Anyway, so I now have a bottle of the stuff. Only thing is, it expired a couple months ago (April 30 '04).
So, here's the question: is it now poisonous? Less palatable (if such a thing is possible)? Just kinda icky?
It's staring me in the face, daring me to do something with it. Is it safe to throw it out? Incinerate it? Feed it to the cats?
Help me! Dear God, help me!

Date: 2004-06-21 02:50 pm (UTC)stir a half teaspoon of vegemite into a glass of boiling water and you have almost bovril!
or, use it to flavour your stews and soups, that's what my mum does with it. Me, I have little portion controlled packets to torment visitors with. No way is it passing these lips
*shudder*
and it does go off. If it won't spread on hot toast, (it stays in a little ball and generally looks a bit ooky) chuck it.
