Vegemite Victims!

I held out as long as I could. I didn't want to do it. But alas, I am a victim of peer pressure, and I have a picture as proof. The Atlantans down under got together for breakfast, bit the bullet, and tried some vegemite, a product that's as close to the hearts of Australians as peanut butter is to Americans. We did our research - Sammy confirmed that it was Wiki-approved. Proper preparation of vegemite dictates a thin layer on toast. You most definitely do not want to down a big spoonful of vegemite - it's a product of yeast extract (basically a by-product of beer manufacturing), so you might choke to death if you did. It may look like nutella, but it definitely does not taste like nutella. It was an interesting experience, for sure. I probably won't be trying vegemite again any time soon. I believe Carson's exact description was "sesame seed mixed with seaweed." A local on-looker joked with us that it's made of "yeast and kanga poo". Mature. Hilla - aren't you glad I brought you some home! :)
