It's the night before payday and the next big grocery shop is still 24 hours away. The pantry is suspiciously bare except for some penne, some olive oil, an old red onion and a tin of lentils.

The release of Lenard's Vegemite range of chicken products prompted a discussion here at All Eaten Up, namely the hitherto secret world of Vegemite as a meat marinade.

It seems the world is divided into two camps – those who swear by the flavour of vegemite marinade, and those who have never heard of the practise.
