Leighton Walters, an Australian-Canadian cafe owner, shared his “shock” on Instagram after receiving a letter from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordering him to destroy an $CA8000 ($9132) shipment of Vegemite, and to remove the spread from his menu because it has added B Vitamins.

Absolutely baffling behaviour from the CFIA. What the heck are they thinking?

I mean, they could have just said "it taste like shit" instead. Such a odd taste but every culture has its thing.

May I suggest other culinary delicacies from our part of the world such as Lamingtons, Fairy Bread and Tim Tams.( Bonus points for a Tim Tam Slam)

Tim Tams are awesome. Never had the others. Had an Australian exchange student in high school and could never get used to vegimite. She hated peanut butter so I get it.

Fucked up thing was our school on the first night to America takingn20nexchange students and their families out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse...

Lamingtons are a cake dipped in chocolate sauce dipped in dessicated coconut, sometimes filled with cream (you might know it as thickened cream, or whipped cream. I've heard shows where people put cream in coffee...)

I just had a look at their menus and they don't have Chicken Parmigianas which is common in pubs over here.

Oven cooked chicken. Covered In crumb, then put under the griller with a marinara (tomato) sauce on top and cheese. Chicken Kiev (crumbed chicken with garlic/herb butter inside).

Fairy bread isn't exactly a good, but something that could be found at a kid's birthday.

If I was travelling up North id want to try Poutine and a real Deep Dish Pizza.
