Default Vegemite. Australians don't leave home without it.

My one experience with Vegemite happened, in all places, Petra, Jordan. I stopped for a cold (and very expensive!) beer at the one and only watering hole in Wadi Mosa, one of two concessions to we Infidels. (The other concession: flush loos.) I joined the only other Westerners, a delightful couple from Australia at their table and during the course of the conversation mentioned that I had never tasted Vegemite. Quicker than you can say "G'day mate!" she whipped a jar out of her purse and presented me with my first taste of that marvellous stuff. Do all Ozzies travel with Vegemite always close at hand? Derek.


P.S. Pray tell, what is the joke about the female Gorilla at the zoo?
