(Marie-Antoinette, not Marie, you ignoramus ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite : "Vegemite is a dark brown savoury food paste made from yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits, as well as a filling of pastries like Cheesymite scroll, in Australia and New Zealand. It is similar to British and New Zealand Marmite and to Swiss Cenovis."
Never tried Vegemite, but I am very fond of its cousin Marmite, deliciously salty... yes, one can well imagine such stuff being made of sargassum :) We would call it "dark sargassum". Should be quite successful in Bermuda, except in classrooms of course.
