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. ---

> [@Blue\_Mood](#): > > This is the key. I think people don’t know how little they are actually supposed to use. Here’s a [pic](http://www.aussiebloggers.com.au/wp-content/vegemite.jpg) of the finished product. Yum! 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. ---

I have vegemite just about every day on toast or crackers. The moose breath bit is nonsense BTW. ---

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. ---

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