My Mate

According to the Footprint guide to Australia, you are either a Marmite person or a Vegemite person. The latter is the Aussie version of the former. Or is it the other way around.

For the uninitiated, both are yeast extract. What might that be? Well, it's one of the few yummy black foods around. You spread it on toast in the morning. It fills you with the goodness of vitamin B. So good!

For most breakfasts in Oz, Vegemite was on offer. Being a good boy, needing my vit B, I spread the vegemite and munched away. Okay, a bit waxy and not quite as tasty.

So, Saturday morning it was a delight to dip in the Marmite jar.

This mate is a Marmite person.
