FOOD from
DOWN UNDER

I have to admit that my Australian food experience has been lacking over the years.  However, a Chef named Jason introduced me to Vegemite this Spring.  Like you probably, my only previous experience with Vegemite was the Men At Work song.  Traditionally, this paste made from a by-product of beer-brewing and is eaten on buttered toast.  My taste was Vegemite mixed heavily with butter and eaten with pita.  Yum.  Give it a try if you get a chance.  So, have you figured out this next Call is from Australia yet? I’m the queen of subtle….
