A spread for toast made of vegetable extract. While it is extremely
popular in Australia, it is reviled everywhere else. This aspect of vegemite is used for great humour by we Australians, as a
single smear of it will reduce a non-Australian to a quivering jelly, similar to a veteran of 'Nam.
To make a vegemite sandwich, you must toast two slices of bread, and then butter it. You must then add just the
right amount of spread, I find that half-a-teaspoon per slice works perfectly. Press the two slices together, and
eat. Then, depending on nationality, you will proceed to the
local pub or to the
ER.
Some leading scientists theorise that we Australians can digest vegemite do to our stomachs and tongues being lined with a natural Kevlar, strengthened by years of swearing, drinking and licking kangaroos.
Robert: Hey, you wanna try a Vegemite sandwich?
Johann: Okay, I've
never had one before.
Robert (prepares sandwich) here you
go.
(Johann eats it, then coughs up own appendix)
Robert:
Wussy.
