I think Vegemite looses its flavour when transported to the Northern hemisphere. A bit like Guiness which, I am told, has to be drunk in Dublin for the true flavour (best use for Guiness as far as I am concerned is in chocolate cake).
They do a NZ flag road jersey although there is no matching jacket.

Heh, I wonder if Nutella is banned in DK as well. That's where I first tried it, before it showed up in the US

I'm in the "tried it, hated it" category. My British father loves the stuff. My mom and I don't see how it can be classified as food.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

I saw someone riding in one of the Foska bones jerseys yesterday, it looked great!
Marmite lover here. Though I should confess that a friend bought me a bar of marmite flavoured chocolate for Christmas and I've yet to be desperate enough to open it. It's the idea of the aftertaste that bothers me.Dawes Cambridge Mixte, Specialized Hardrock, Specialized Vita.
