Marmite's history begins with the discovery that brewer's yeast could be concentrated, bottled, and eaten, by German scientist Justus von Liebig in the late 19th century. The Marmite Food Extract Company was formed in 1902 in England, and the spread was named after a French cooking pot, "marmite". Sanitarium later obtained rights to distribute Marmite in New Zealand and Australia in 1908, eventually manufacturing a modified version under license. Today, Marmite remains a popular, albeit divisive, food spread, with a "love it or hate it" reputation. A small white glass Marmite jar with a rusted screw top metal lid. It has a loose blue, yellow and red paper label around the jar with Marmite vegetable Extract printed in yellow on a red back ground banner.

Vintage 8oz clear Vegemite jars, specifically those used between 1935 and 1945, are a piece of Australian food history. These jars, originally used for packaging Vegemite, were often repurposed after use, with some finding new life as storage for beads. The Vegemite spread itself was invented in 1923 by Cyril Callister, and initially struggled to gain popularity until it was co-marketed with Kraft cheese. During World War II, Vegemite's popularity soared as it became a staple in Australian Army rations. Vegemite, a dark yeast extract spread, is a popular Australian food product. It is known for its strong, salty, and slightly bitter flavor. The Kraft brand was historically associated with Vegemite, but the brand is now owned by Bega Cheese. Vegemite is a staple in many Australian households and is often enjoyed on toast with butter. A small clear glass Vegemite jar with a rusted white and red screw top metal lid.

From its earliest days, the Ithacan Philanthropic Society has conducted an annual family picnic held at country towns on Melbourne's urban fringe. For many years Bacchus Marsh was a popular venue where this picnic group was photographed. Women would prepare delicious traditional Greek food and families would group together to enjoy a wonderful picnic spread. The annual Ithacan Picnic has been a very important event on the society's social calendar. In the early days, as many of the families ran family businesses such as fruit shops, fish shops and cafes, Sunday was the only break they had away from their work. The picnic gave them a chance to relax and to catch up with extended family and friends. Today the picnic continues to be an extremely popular day for the members where generations of Australian Ithacans get the opportunity to reunite. A black and white photograph of a large group at a picnic standing and sitting around and enjoying a picnic meal which has been spread out on the ground. Three cars are parked in the background under the trees.
