Ok all you members of the 'Vegemite Haters Campaign'... hahaha Vegemite is
indeed something you have to be brought up on. I have eaten it all my life
so it's nothing new to me but it is something that you have to spread
lightly as you can't aquire the correct taste otherwise. Looks great on
kids faces too hehe, actually when my kids eat it they tend to lick it off
the bread and throw away the bread... another trick is to spread it onto
sao's (square crackers with holes in them) with marge or butter and squash
two pieces to make worms ooze out hahahaha. Anyway Vegmite is "One of the
world's richest known sources of Vitamin B'. So it's a healthy thing. The
funny thing is my husband is also American and when he saw my son eat it for
the first time he thought it must be great as my son was digging into it...
hahahaha should have seen his face! very amusing indeed. Great party joke.
But I love Vegemite... Vegemite Rocks!!!.... Mel (who is happily munching
away on her Vegemite toast)
