Vegemite, like the remnants of icecream on a stick or in a tub are both
substances that make the eyes of my dogs bulge in pleasure as they are
fed it slowly as a treat.
My sister used to dip her vegemite on buttered toast into her milky and sugary
tea for breakfast, back in the 1960s. Maybe a precursor of the Tim Tams in
coffee movement.
