It didn't come through as spam (the subject, you may know, of an
infamous Monty Python sketch).  Vegemite is an exclusively Australian
abomination, I'm glad to say,m though not unlike British Marmite
(another yeast extract product though darker than vegemite).  The
nearest thing to spam in the US is pork luncheon meat; a US cookbook for
disabled people explained a good way of getting that out of its tin/can,
finishing the description of the technique with the line 'now all you
have to do is bring yourself to eat the stuff!'.   I suspect that the
creation of spam (spiced ham)  was inspired by Arctic and Subartic
British experience with pemmican and maybe with Hudson Valley Dutch head
cheese.

Is it spam, or, as the case may be, vegamite (sp?) in Ormskirk?
