+++Enter At Your Own Risk+++ At the gentle nudging (I said gentle y'all) of a few friends, I have started these blogs in order to share my culinary goings-on and daily misadventures through my own brand of humor (ok, sarcasm). I just write about stuff! At 50, I have learned that living has gotten in the way of life - and I am going to blaze my own personal trail to fun (hopefully)! If it is feminine, great. If it is not, so much the better! Hopefully fun that does not land me in jail............

Vegemite Sandwich?

How many of you 80's kids remember the group "Men at Work" singing "Down Under"?
It was released in October 1982 I believe...

I do not remember all of the lyrics, but i can tell you one part that has stuck with me for - how many years?

You do the math....

"I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich..."

I never knew what "Vegemite" was...  I had never even seen it...

Well, on a trip to the "World Market", I found it quite by accident.  Here is a photo...

Now, was I brave enough to buy it and try it? No.  Will I try it in the future?  Probably not.
But, with the lovely Internet age, I was able to look it up!  GOOGLE Babee (I still ain't no BINGer).

Vegemite is a dark brown paste made from used brewers' yeast extract which is a by-product of beer making! It is said to taste salty and slightly bitter - not unlike beef bouillon. In Australia they spread it on sandwiches, crackers, toast and etc.

MMMMM, sound enticing?

Nope - didn't tweak my interest either...
