Vegemite

Does Australia have its own cuisine? Or at least its own foods? In fact the only one I can think of is called Vegemite. So what is it? It's a Nutella-looking spread for your toasts that is as unique, as rich and as surprising as Australian fauna. But hold on, you've gotta be careful when you first taste it! You'd better read this post first!

How to taste Vegemite for the very first time

Typical scenario
Your very good Australian friend keeps talking about this fantastic thing, as huge part of true Aussie culture as stubby holders, to the point where you just have to try it. So he or she gives you the magical jar containing this divine food with a simple instruction: "Spread it on a toast! That's the best way". And so you do, you warm up your toast, take a generous amount of Vegemite and put it on your toast in a half-inch thick layer. Then the most exciting part comes, you're about to taste it! Expecting sweet Nuttela-like taste, you don't hesitate and bite as much of your toast off as you can. And suddenly, your face turns into an awful grimace expressing mixture of endless surprise, disgust and pain! You definitely didn't expected THIS, right? The content of your mouth together with the rest of your toast (if there is any) fly into a rubbish bin and you are done with Vegemite for the rest of your life. What a loss, what an unnecessary inconvenience! Your life can't be considered complete without Vegemite! But your life can be saved thanks to this blog. Keep on reading.
