This is my third request on the formula for this weird product. Do they roast it, fry it or boil it. Or eat it on a stick like a Popsicle? I sure hope those Chappies down under will excuse me not knowing the right culinary use of this weird food stuff. Do they fish for it, shoot it or harvest it or use it as a hardener for cement.


Oh well, what the hell. Any country that celebrates Xmas in the summer has strange animals that carry their young around in a purse and others like the duck billed Platypus with its many strange appendix and folks who have not learned to press the brim of their military hats flat. So you must excuse the rest of the world when it looks with suspicion when they produce a food product for human consumption called
vegemite

Hi Norm
I remember you asking about this product..
The Ozzies use it for all sorts of things,even eat it..It is an evil smelling product that tastes like rotten cheese curds swimming in battery acid...

This is right from their web site....
They hook their kids on it right away and it is highly addictive..

Quote..."

The perfect time to introduce Vegemite is when your baby is enjoying a variety of solid foods. Apart from providing vital nutrition, its flavour can help babies accept new foods. Try adding a little Vegemite to mashed vegetables and pureed meat dishes. Then, as they grow, spread it on their rusks, sandwiches and toast."

Jeez...they even spread it on their rusks..
That is probably a miss print and it must be "Tusks"....which they must nip off when they get over a month old like we do to baby pigs,cause I can't remember seein' any Ozzies with tusks....
But I was drinkin' one night with this Ozzie chick........er..better leave that story for Gracies Bar and Grill when the lads have another gather up...
Now barring "Tusks" it may be an Ozzie name for "Butts" ,but my mom used to put talcum powder on my butt...but I made her stop once I left home and joined up at 17...
Anyway Norm..you can read all about Vegemite here at their home page..
