Vegemite


I couldn't do a food related theme of the last few days and not include one of the main staples for breakfast. Yes, Vegemite has arrived on my blog.

Now this brings back memories of my childhood. It also bring back memories of 1983 I think, "Men at work" Down under being played as Australia II sailed out to take the America's cup from the US.


I think the song goes something like this.

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty
And he said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Time for us Aussies to pick a battle song, who else wants this one?

Remember the War is coming.

Is that what the Brits call Marmite? Yeast extract? You love it or you hate it... the haters have the majority, I guess... :)

Maybe, it can be overdone.

It's pretty difficult to sell this to a German person!! https://d.tube/v/givesaminute/18hwfe9c 0219.jpg

Just, tell them it's chocolate on bread.

Heheheh @jeff001 :) Nice idea!

I did that to my German cousin when he visited the first time. It was worth it.
