A jar of Vegemite from Cost Plus. Most Aussies (and perhaps Kiwis, too) love Vegemite, but most non-Aussies (and perhaps non-Kiwis, too) probably despise Vegemite. Have you ever eaten the stuff? It's bitter and almost overwhelmingly salty. It's...it's definitely an acquired taste.
Here's my story about Vegemite: When I was traveling in Australia, I was a vegetarian. The vegetarian meal on one Qantas flight consisted of a long roll sliced open like a hot dog bun stuffed with a thick slab of butter and a thick slab of something I didn't recognize. I took a bite and realized that I was eating a butter and Vegemite sandwich. Maybe you know, but Aussies spread their Vegemite very, very, very thinly. This was a great chunk of Vegemite and it was disgusting. I think I tried to scrape it off my tongue with a spoon, and I ended up abandoning all my lunch rather than risk letting any Vegemite-contaminated foodstuff get close to my tastebuds.
But a few weeks ago, Dave and I were at Cost Plus and we saw the Vegemite and were both, like, We should get some. We didn't that day, but when we went back, we picked up this little jar.
Frida Kahlo and Charles Darwin. Just playing around with my little figures.
