Land Down Under

Today is a Day That Will Go Down in History

Today......I was brave. Today......was another "first" for me. Today......I ate Vegemite.


Now you may be wondering what this "Vegemite" is. It's black. It's incredibly salty. It's made of yeast. It's EVERY BIT AS DISGUSTING AS IT SOUNDS. And yet a lot of Australians love it and spread it on their toast every morning at breakfast. I've been working up the courage to try some ever since I got here and heard about it, and today I finally spread the tiniest bit on half of my toast. And once I took a little bite, I had to quickly chug my milk to avoid dying from coughing so hard. (I almost said "scull my milk" and then had to actually think about what the American equivalent was....my Aussie friends would be so proud!) Anyways, yes this post serves no other purpose than to inform all of you that I tried a very Australian food, and was definitely not a fan of this one. Next up might be a "slice" or a lamington....I think sticking to sweet foods is probably safest!
