I know non-aussies (and actually, come to think of it, most aussies) will think me strange, but I love eating vegemite straight up. I just scoop it into a spoon and lick away until it's all gone. Does that make me wierd? Actually, don't answer that!

Tim Tams.. is there anything better? A close second is Mint Slices. Actually, Montes are pretty good too! Oh dear, I'm getting a chocolate craving.. gotta go!

Well, I'm not actually sure they did ban vegemite. I think it was just a really good scare campaign/urban myth that went around just before the last time I went to the continental USA/Canada.

I was of course quite afraid that I would have to make the journey without vegemite (a fate worse than death) but a serious dig on the USA immigration and customs websites indicated that there was no drama with bringing vegemite. So I did, declared it, and didn't get dragged away in cuffs!

Which would seem silly anyways, really, since the previous time I was there I found vegemite in the Safeways on the highway just north of Edmonton! It just had all the details in French on the other side of the jar!
