Warning: Consumption of Vegemite hazardous to health

This morning for breakfast we had some toast, and just like every other morning there were 3 choices of spread: peanut butter, jelly and vegemite. Well, as you can imagine we have stuck with the pb and j so be on the safe side, but this morning we decided to spice things up a bit. Michelle remembered Lydia saying it wasn't good alone, but a little bit's ok on toast, so that was good enough for us to give it a try.

Well let me tell you reader, it is ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN DISGUSTING. I can't begin to tell you how bad it is, it is like something that tasted awful to begin with then left out to spoil for a month!

The name, Vegemite, does not inspire confidence, but you see so many people spreading it on their toast, that it can't be that bad, right. YUCK, oh god, it took two pieces of toast with pb and j as well as a glass of milk to get the taste out of my mouth and I still have terrible thoughts about it almost 3hrs later.

For the record, M also tried it, a tiny bit that got on her finger and she thought it was disgusting and quickly washed her mouth out with juice.

So for those of you reading this that like it, to each their own, but to everyone else who may come in contact with vegemite in the future...
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

And you guys are supposed to be adventurous! Vegemite is a wonderful Australian delicacy, and I can't believe you would slander my name by claiming otherwise. Did you butter the toast before you put the vegemite on it? That's key. I recommend trying it again the proper way--bagels are better than bread. If you want some delicious chocolate cookies to wash down the thought of vegemite (and clear my name), pick up some TimTams. Trust me on this one. Lydia

I seem to remember once when my darling wife said to me "try this stuff. It's from Australia." Naturally I tried it to impress her (this was before we were dating.) And I promtly spit it out in the trash can amongst a hail of mostly fake barfing sounds. Yes, it truly is disgusting. BUT take my advice, the Tim Tams ARE good... Michael

Hilarious! Sorry it was so bad. Let me know if the butter helps... if you dare try it again.

Happy Valentine's Day to you both!
