Vegemite??? That is what the song refers to by Down Under...and a vegemite sandwhich??? I just came to that realization, and after all these years. What IS a vegemite sandwhich?

And, what are those other things you named?

I was one of those weirdo's when I lived in AZ for one winter! 60 degrees is NOT chilly!!!

And Ralph and I would keep you busy enough replumbing the bathroom, drywalling the basement and upstiars, you wouldn't een have time to notice the snow

He can help Mike with the bathroom and putting the floor down! He can stop in Indiana on the way to Ohio.

Vegemite is a concentrated spread made from yeast extract. To be specific, it's the leftover dregs of yeast used in the beer brewing process (I used to work at Kraft Foods and got the whole factory visit!) It's black and sludgy and looks like something you'd use to patch up potholes in the road. Getting hungry? It smells like a mix of rotting shoes and salt. It's one of those things you either hate or love. I am firmly in the hate category. I'd rather spread my car oil on toast than that stuff

Witchetty grubs are kind of like a big centipede without the legs, but fatter and yellow and white in colour. Apparently you throw them on the campfire and eat them whole. It's more of a protein food for Aboriginals who are still on the land and intrepid travellers. Luckily we have those supermarket things Isn't it amazing how we grow up with food biases?

Vegemite and Marmite....absolutely revolting. Majorly shocking for me when I first came here. Yikes!

But then I heard about the great "super-market" I rode my emu to the nearest one! Too bad you have to pack all your goods on your back for the ride home. If only we had cars....
