Vegemite Ban

Ah, yes; I'd have rather not been reminded of that stuff; and those floppy, plastic squares et al masquerading under the title of "cheese".

and a good strong cup of tea (NOT orange pekoe!).

Apart from the dubious performance of this stuff being highly suspect of ever making something even loosely called tea, the penchant for making it with tepid coffee water from the stand-by glass jug just adds insult to injury.

I blame the Murrican electricity supply entirely; you could die of a dryness like Ghandi's flip-flop whilst waiting for the miserable 1Kw at 110V trickling from a weedy two-prong socket to boil a kettle.

You have missed out on a true cullinary delight. There are many ways to consume such a treat; "mousetraps" - aka. grilled cheese (again the - real - high collesterol stuff is best) on toast smeared with Vegemite - heaven!

A simplification of Caws-Wedi-Pobi or Welsh Rarebit but still tasty; Marmite will do just as well and a touch of English mustard and some Lea & Perrins doesn't go amiss either.
