Basic breakfast burrito: Scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrown potatoes, cheese, and hot sauce wrapped up in a large flour tortilla.

By God, its her burrito, she can do with it as she pleases, and put it anywhere she likes! I would counsel prudence in the application of hot sauce, but outside of thatā€¦ ---

Jokes aside, Australia has almost no Mexican population to speak of so while weā€™re certainly aware of Mexican food (and there are plenty of Mexican restaurants and supermarkets sell Mexican food kits and salsa etc) the edited highlights are no, we donā€™t have breakfast burritos here by and large. ---

> [@Lynn\_Bodoni](#): > > You poor, poor deprived souls. First I hear that the cost of books is outrageous down under, now I hear that you have no breakfast burritos! No amount of yeast product can make up for this. Vegemite _does_ taste something like a yeast infection. (Please, donā€™t ask how I know.) Perhaps thatā€™s connected in some way to how it ended up in the one posterā€™s panties. Iā€™ll tell you though. I would still eat it over durian. ---

They probably threw away your vegemite because they thought it was a jar of runny cat shit that had gone past its expiration date. ---

The SO threw away my ā€˜travel jarā€™ of Vegemite, and my little jar of Marmite when she saw the expiry date, once. Once. She didnā€™t admit it, but I know she did. And I made sure she knew that Vegemite doesnā€™t expire. (ā€˜Travel jarā€™: A jar I refill from the 2.5 kg pail, so I can take Vegemite with me.) ---

I wager some intrepid soul, hungry for a snack after a long day, attempted his first taste of Vegemite, and ā€“ discovering that the spread must _clearly_ be spoiled ā€“ helpfully disposed of the foul substance before anyone could be accidentally poisoned. ---

This topic has awaken in me my desire to try strange new foods. Pray tell, before I buy this concoction, what does vegemite taste like? I think I saw it at my local market, Iā€™m curious enough to get a jar and try it but I want to know what Iā€™m getting myself in to. Is it sweet, salty? What does it smell like? Is it good for you? ---

Have you ever smelled a stock cube? It tastes sorta similar. Salty yeasty with a touch of acrid. lots of B vitamins and salt. ---

Does Vegemite really not expire? As an non-Aussie that canā€™t get enough of it, I brought back a whole bunch without realizing that it all technically expires in a few months. How long can I realistically go past that date?
