Just as a point of curiosity is codswallop a delicacy you can
order in Oz, like vegimite? What is it?
I refer you to an authoritative source -- which also has no
explanation for the origin of the term "codswallop".

By the way, the Australian and New Zealand savoury delicacy is spelled
"Vegemite". I have no idea what "vegimite" might be!
Having tasted it, I have no idea what Vegemite might be either. :-)

As a point of historical interest, vegemite was originally called
"pawill', to avoid confusion with the English savoury delicacy called
"Marmite". But the name never caught on, and it was relabelled "vegemite".
