*He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite Sandwich*

I come from the land down under

I love my husband -- He is my favourite grown up person on this planet but it FLAWS me that he hates!! vegemite.

How can any redblooded Australian hate vegemite?!?!?!?

Aren't vegemite sandwiches the main staple of any Australian kids diet - didn't we all take vegemite sandwiches for lunch at school.

it's amazing -- Vegemite puts a rose in every cheek - The vitamin B in Vegemite helps kids grow up stronger. It wakes you up - makes you feel great - wash it down with a glass of milo (more milo then milk!)

Put it on Vita-wheats - make worms!!

Add some red frogs -- mmmmm Vegemite and Red frog sandwiches :- see this Link

It's completely unAustralian to NOT LOVE!!!!!!!! vegemite. Remember the song?!?!!? Do you come from the land down under?

Now people are allowed to differ on the amount of vegemite - I personally like a little spread evenly with lots of butter but I have a friend who has no butter and the vegemite is almost as thick as the bread it's spread over.
But you can't be Australian and HATE vegemite -- that's like ...wrong!!

MMM Vegemite sandwiches - think I'll go make me another one.

(in honour of vegemite I've left this blog black)

It has the same ingredients as Beer so it should be good! But i have my doubts.

If I am hungry enough I would eat it and say "thank you very much!"

To bad it has malt extract or I would pick some up, maybe I will anyway and make my husband try it.

Have you ever had Nutella? That is the best!

Hey Trina .. i HAte vegemite as well! really gross! BTW i think now we should point out that Vegemite is no longer owned by an Australian company but is now American.. remember the Dick Smith debacle? Funny cause my sister not long ago handed me some toast with vegemite on it.. I would rather peanut butter.

vegemite on toast with butter -- not margarine --

margarine is the devil!

Even with butter nearly doubling in price over the last year, we don't EVER buy margarine...we just ration our butter.

I eat everything, we've got extra virgin olive oil spread in our fridge at the moment.

But my dad or sister would only ever have butter -- I could harldy ever tell the difference.

my doctor wants me to have tests on my thyroid for being too thin

what the...?? wow when is that happening? maybe rocco's "dangerously thin" comment was right after all?? *s*

haha Rocco's seen me twice in six months

I don't know if it is happening -- when we saw Mary 2 weeks ago for Elana's checkup she told me she was worried and if I kept losing weight they'd have to do some tests.
And the other night Nick kept commenting about how small I looked on the couch, and how there's nothing left of me blah blah
Anyway

In my defence, vegemite is a by-product of making beer. Would you spread beer on your toast in the morning? Or dip a few toast-soldiers in your lager at night. Hell no.

I'll drink the beer, the rest of you can eat the waste on toast.
