> there's absolutely no point discussing Vegemite with those from overseas, especially Americans, let alone trying to get them to taste it

Not so fast my friend! Ich bin ein sheiz Ami who is no stranger to sesos, lengua, offal, Asian ingenuity and piping hot street food spanning four continents.

Describe the Vegemite. On biscuits or toast? If with beer, a pilsner or stout? Please.

Perhaps so, but as I said above, I'll bet the per capita is low. Even Australians who aren't brought up with the stuff from a very early age just won't eat it either.
I recommend trying it thinly spread on buttered toast
I would recommend a pilsner. Vegemite itself has stouty tones. The pilsener would provide some contrast.
