I did it. I finally got up the guts to try this interesting substance held near and dear to Aussie hearts - Vegemite. They sell vats of this stuff in grocery stores about as ginormous as the largest tub of peanut butter you've ever seen. Ingredients: yeast extract, salt, mineral salt, malt extract, color. It has the texture of smooth peanut butter but maybe a little thinner. It's brown. It's basically unidentifiable. A very small jar was bought for me the first day I arrived and people at work have been asking me for 2 weeks "have you tried Vegemite?" My answer was always no. Until yesterday. I spread a thin layer on a cracker (or "biscuit" as they say here). It's salty and tastes like....well...i don't know exactly. I can assure you it is not pleasant. David witnessed this taste test live on Skype. He found my facial contortions quite amusing :) Well, at least now I can say I've tried it....
Interesting Australia fact of the day: Their 2 dollar coins are smaller than their 1 dollar coins. Go figure.
