Welllllll,
You guys and gals are REALLY missing out on a culinary treat if you pass up
up a chance to try our national pride.
I could say: -
1) It is a by-product of the food processing done on our kangaroos
2) It is the extract from the ear canals of our Koala Bears.
3) It is the mucous residue from rabbits which have died from
myxamatosis.
4) It is an extract from shingle back lizards, or any other fresh road
kill you can find.
5) It is a concentrate consisting mainly of witchetty grub droppings.
6) It is a secret formula invented by Australians Fred Walker and Cyril
Callister in collaboration with Canadian James Kraft (of Kraft foods).
Now, only one of the above statements is true, but then again, maybe not.
I lie sometimes!
It was only a secret formula until it was released for sale in the U.S.A
then your FDA insisted that the ingredients be listed on the lable.
SPOIL SPORTS!!!
It is a bit strong in taste but it is intended as a thin spread for hot
buttered toast, crumpets or in sandwiches with a nice slab of matured
cheese.
Do you want to know what is in our cheese???
Perhaps not!
I urge you to try it if you have the opportunity, AND best of all, it is a
VEGETARIAN paste so that may exclude some of the points above.
But then again, maybe not.
Have a good New Year folks, and if you care to send me an email off list I
will tell you what our slang term for Vegemite is ( it is a little
coarse!!!!)
Regards,
Graeme Suckling
