Vegemite is perhaps Australia's most enduring cultural icon. But how did this pungent, salty black paste, which for most of us is how we start the day, come to be created?

Description
Today more than 22 million jars of Vegemite are sold each year, but when the salty black paste was first produced in 1923, the public wasn't interested. In fact, it took another fifteen years and a world war before we embraced it.
The Man Who Invented Vegemite spans the Gold Rush, the Depression, and two world wars, opening a fascinating window on the evolution of modern Australia. It also delves into the quiet achievements and tragedies of one man.
Jamie Callister sets out to learn more about the grandfather he never met. Along the way, he discovers that extraordinary things can happen to (almost) ordinary people.
