Not Sweet, Not Vegemite
So "sad" I don´t like sweets or sweet ice cream, I´d totally bought this ice-cream-"truck" otherwise, certainly in pink for my Niece(s).
It contains 12 sundaes, 12 spoons and is just supercute, no?
Also available in blue.
Oh, shoot, maybe I make it a Birthday-pressie? So the whole family but me can enjoy.
Reminds me of 2006, Perth was booked, I read the news in my lunch break.
I can´t find the original article anymore but vegemite icecream won a price that year.
My then teamleader - also a T, also from former GDR (weird, huh? My first teamleaders' name was B, though, from West-Germany, but TI, II, III are all from former GDR).
Anyhows TI looked over my shoulder and said, what is vegemite?
He was interested! I said, I can bring some with me, but, nooo. Interested means: NOW, so he ordered via amazon.
I brought toast. Toasted, untoasted, I brought butter and margarine.
No one wanted to join us after TI opened the jar!
TI and I tried every combination and concluded... the vegemite probably has gone bad, was stored wrong or something.
In Perth I got a new jar from Wollies.
And 25 portions from Maccas on Christmas...
No. The first jar was ok, we found out. Vegemite is just not made for German tastebuds ;-)
This is what Ingo made out of the first 12 Maccas-portions, this mobile has moved 3 times already!
Lost quite some color, huh?
What do you think, should Ingo make a new one of the other twelve?
Yes. They are nine years old! Kept in the Macca´s bag, look brand-new!
I still have not tried these... should I? With cheese - has anyone tried it yet?
I´ll buy the pink ice-cream-truck, if still available, blogging clears my thoughts at times :-)

Don't feel bad, I don't like vegemite either...
It must be an acquired taste, all of my Portuguese friends won't eat it either, but a friend's little girl who came here when she was 1 and is now 4 started eating it in school and her parents had to buy it as she loves it! I say that she's now truly Australian!
Recently they came out with a vegemite chocolate but I don't think it was popular at all...
Yes, I guess you have to grow up with it! Ewww, in chocolate! I once tried chili-chocolate, that was ok. As chocolate beer. Both won´t make it again, but it was interesting.
Not made for most American tastebuds either. :-0
The thing is it's a fact that non Aussies don't actually know how to eat Vegemite the correct way. They spread it thick like a normal spread which is all wrong. Hot toast, spread with butter and then just the slightest, slightest smear of Vegemite. Then it's quite nice. The Vegemite chocolate is pretty good, again you can hardly taste the vegemite its a little like salted caramel.
We had it only thin - obviously not thin enough.
Thank you, Grace, next time I have toast I try the cheesy bite - thin, very thin.
