Vegemite
I'm sure you've all been wondering whether I've given this Aussie classic a go by now...
... and the answer is: OF COURSE!
That picture is actually from the first day I arrived here when Steph and I began our Aussie adventure by diving head first into this thick, gooey, salty, malty, spread. What is it exactly? Yeast extract and apparently one of the richest sources of Vitamin B in the world! What does it taste like exactly? Strong, salty, malty goo
Aussies either love it, or hate it.
I've gotta say mates, it's weird as but I quite enjoy it and find myself craving it on lazy hangover days.. and strangely so does Steph.
Toast. Heaps of butter. Thin layer of vegemite. Sprinkled with some Tasty cheddar if you're feeling adventurous. Get around it.
Sincerely,
AUS

"VEGEMITE spread is virtually fat-free, with a mere 40kJ in a 5g serve, and is the perfect accompaniment for a wholesome, breakfast, lunch or snack. It’s far more tooth and gum friendly than jams or choc nut spreads, without compromising on taste. In fact, its unique and delicious flavour is what distinguishes the VEGEMITE brand.
VEGEMITE spread contains no artificial colours or flavours, and has absolutely no added sugar. It is suitable for vegetarians, is kosher and halal certified and contains rich sources of thiamine. 25% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of riboflavin and niacin are delivered per serve, as well as 50% of the RDI of folate, or 25% for women of childbearing age.
The B Vitamins in VEGEMITE spread assist in converting carbohydrates, proteins and fats in food into much needed energy and are also important for proper functioning of the nervous system, muscles and brain. Folate aids in producing red cells in the body and niacin helps to maintain healthy skin and a healthy digestive tract."
