Vegemite - Are you Aussie enough?



Howdy Everybuddy.  I woke up early last week when it was my birthday.  Six thirty a.m. is a perfect time for everyone to rise and shine in my opinion.  Unfortunately, not everyone is of this opinion.  Mum was the only one to rise to the occasion.


I had put in my order for my birthday breakfast treat.  Yes, you know it.  Vegemite on toast.   Mmmmmmm, slobber, slobber, yum yum, come on mum.

Now for those of you who haven't tried our tasty spread, there are many differing views on how much vegemite to spread on your toast.  We love it and always have plenty but the trick is to also have heaps of butter.  Mmmmmm.  Mum was brought up in a household where the butter looked like cheese when it was spread on bread.  Cholesterol?  Try not to think about it. 








Can we eat now mum?  What do you mean you want to freshen up so you look your best for the photo?  Who cares, let's just eat!

Jeez mum, you sure scrubbed up well.  Gorgeous jammies.

 

Totally satisfying mates.  If you get the chance, give it a go and let us know what you think.  Most people outside of Oz think it's rubbish and we just can't understand why.  Anyhoo, to top off the day my sissy made me a special birthday cake too.  It had full sized pears baked into it.  Totally yummers.


Tyler wanted to help with the candle or possible just eat all the cake hehe.


I got two new teddies and I loved Mr Purple Koala and I let Stellie play with Mr Teddy.


 


Well that's it from us.
See ya next time or see you at the Olympics!
No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stella

  3. Pawesome birthday celebration, Rory.

    We have not had Vegemite and you are right, we hear differing opinions. But the Momster is a butter lady, and that HAS to be REAL butter, not margarine. Everything tastes better with butter. We agree.

  6. Well mate, over here in Blighty we have Marmite and we LOVE it. So naturally Mum thought she'd like Vegemite. She bought a huge jar as soon as she got to Oz. She says she doesn't want to be rude fellas, but it tastes like sh**e!! Looks like she'll never make a decent Ozzie! Deccy x

  8. We have that here and it is called Marmite. There is an advert that you either love it or hate it. Mum is firmly in the haters corner, LOL. Your cake looks wonderful, what a great idea.
    Aww, how sweet to snuggle up with your toys.

  16. What a fantastic birthday you had, and what wonderful Dane-sized stuffies! We also love your expression on your new header, Rory.

    We are unclear what vegemite tastes like. It looks kind of like treacle. Does it have a honey or syrupy taste? We'd have to have a sniff before we could venture an opinion, but as long as you love it, that's really all you need to care about, isn't it? After all, your birthday is about YOUR favorite foods!

  23. You had a wonderful birthday from the looks of it. And it's best to let poor Mum at least comb her hair and feel pretty, or she'll be grouchy about the pictures. Trust me on this one! Hope you get lots of Vegemite sandwiches, even on regular days!

    xoxo Marjie
