Take a fresh baked loaf of bread. Hollow it out. Spread inside an entire jar of peanut butter. Then an entire jar of jelly. Then a pound of bacon. Eat. Die.

Seriously, a picture.

Or get twice as much for $2 more.

I've already got a jar from our last trip, but this may come in handy.

My wife scoffs at the way I eat Marmite. I like it in a buttered toast sandwich with melted cheese and tomatoes. Lettuce is optional. It also works open faced. I don't need the cheese either. Just tomatoes and Marmite on buttered toast is great.

For all those addicts (which includes me), you will soon have the chance to sample Extra Strength Marmite.

This is the key. I think people don't know how little they are actually supposed to use. Here's a pic of the finished product. Yum!

When I lived in Australia for a couple of years, I was rather confused as to why the people I stayed with were all obsessed with me trying Vegemite. I told them it tastes like a weaker version of Marmite, and I think they were offended. I think they were even more offended to discover that Marmite was invented first.

Doubly offended to discover that Australia isn't bigger than Europe. But they were country bumpkins, so I can't take them as representative. (Put 'Europe Australia size comparison' into google and you get this thread as the top link...Please note the numbers at the bottom in sq km. It looks like someone got confused with sq mi).

A new pleasure! A new pleasure!

I've been craving a Vegemite sanga all morning. It would have been better than the oatmeal I had on the drive to the office.

I think I'll pick up some English muffins and a tomato, and have a toasty cheesy Vegemite melt.

See, now that is 50 billion times more Vegemite than I tried when I first tried it, and I found it to be the most foul substance on Earth.

I thought your picture would have, at most, a slight brown tint on the bread, but no, there's tons on there.

[Johnny L.A.]

I was thinking it looks like about 1/3 of the amount I use.

[Cicero]

I have vegemite just about every day on toast or crackers.

The moose breath bit is nonsense BTW.

[Johnny L.A.]

Maybe it's because I spread it thick, or maybe it's my chemistry; but whenever I'd have a Vegemite sandwich for lunch, a boss would off me gum. He finally came right out and told me.

Maybe everyone here has moose breath and I haven't noticed.

[Johnny L.A.]

Well, I've just had a Vegemite sandwich. Maybe I should find someone to breathe on.

[Cicero]

Well, I just got the vegemite out of the fridge to see how strong the smell was and my partner wanted to know why I was sniffing vegemite.

I approve of your wife's discerning palate.
