This is an icon in Freo - what I kinda dislike... everybody is glued to their cells.
But maybe if you see that every day it gets boring...
Wiki says: "The Dingo Flour sign is a stylised silhouetted dingo in red on the side of a historic and heritage-listed working flour mill in North Fremantle, Western Australia."
And what is also produced from flour?
Toast. Toast + Australia =.... remember that song from Men at work, "Down Under"?
For years and years, actually nearly two decades my taste buds said NO!!!
Friends asking, what would you like... their son had to eat it up.
I tried it as a a mixture with cheese. Yuck, too.
No, first time was 2006 in Wolfsburg! My then teamleader ordered it via amazon - it was awful.
We thought it had gone bad on the journey.
At Maccas Australia they serve those little portions of it in the morning and on Christmas eve, in the evening, shortly before we returned to Germany, I asked for one to bring it to teamleader.
It was hilarious, I had to explain to all three staff-members and ended up to the one portion #1 put in a bag +24 from #2 (Christmas) with 25!!!
When entering, the store was empty. By now some Aussies had entered with their Pomm-friends (Great Britain) and a discussion started.
This year on the Indian Pacific they served the little portions, too, but there was no toasted toast, so I took them to Brauschweig and gave it a go.
YUM! Tried to find it here - nope. Just the Pomm-version. And had eaten the Aussie one already. My friend ordered something at amazon anyways and got the other for me.
She said, it´s no wonder, either, I like it now, every 7 years our body cells are kinda "new".
An idea already?
... on toast, made from flour - maybe not Dingo-flour, though ;-).
In a blind- test I would not taste a difference.
Marmite is like very liquid honey, takes you forever to spread - fun-fact: "invented by the German scientist Justus von Liebig.").
Vegemite is like .. Liverwurst. Fun fact... came from the mothership:"In 1919, following the disruption of British Marmite imports after World War I, the Australian company Fred Walker & Co. gave Cyril Callister the task of developing a spread from the used yeast being dumped by breweries."
Ingo refuses to try. More for me!
Marmite is nearly empty already.
Well, this of course is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.
And, kinda... I really go step by step through the gallery and it´s getting scary...
The man has the fitting quote again. A bit.
"Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes
About success
If a stands for success, the formula a = x + y + z; x is work, y is play, and z is keeping your mouth shut."
It´s a miracle I love that very rich of Vitamin B12-stuff now.
Have a great start to the week.

I like the dingo painting. Clean and simple
Love the dingo and the whole post really!
The iconic Dingo flour mural. I remember that day on the way to Fremantle :) I still don't like vegemite, it appears that most immigrants don't like it. You have to be born here to like it, lol. I find it funny that my grandkids like it, but of course they were born here. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.
...Dingo Flour and the spreads are new to me. I don't get out much these days.
Yes, I always look out for "him".
The dingo says thank you!
Yes, it was a great day!
Yes, I have no clue why I suddenly like those spreads!
The spreads are typical for Great Britain and Australia, but maybe they make it around the world now!
Good morning, I like their logo Happy new week
hugs from the lake
That's a great Einstein quote today. And I didn't even guess that was a dingo. I think I'll skip both the Marmite and Vegemite on my toast-grin. Happy new week Iris. hugs-Erika
Lovely mural!
Yes, makes me smile every time! Hugs
Yes to Einstein. The rest.... you miss out (probably for a reason ;-)... Hugs and to a happy week
Yes...
I like the dingo but sure don't like Marmite, Iris.
:-) I won´t have these spreads every day, but... maybe it´s all the memories that come along with them...?
When the Young One was in 3rd grade, she had to do a Christmas Around the World project. Because I had good friends in Australia, that's what we chose. The teacher gave her a hard time. Didn't want her to do Australia because of Vegemite! The friends sent me lots of those little tubs. I brought in crackers. Some of the kids really like it. I think it tastes like axle grease. Anywho, Aussie friends told me to pile it on thick on a cracker for the teacher. Teacher was refusing to try until I shamed her: How can we expect the children to try new things, if adults don't set the example? The face she made biting into the cracker, priceless! 🤣
Thanks, but I'll pass.
The Dingo is cool. I never had Marmite but don't think I'll try it.
Brave up, Bill ;-)
Oh, BOY 🤣 I spread it thin on buttered toast and even that is intense. That poor teacher!!!!! You didn´t like her, huh? Thanks for the laugh!
I should try this with my Nieces and make SIL eat it!!! (She hates me)
It´s healthy ;-)
What am I eating right now? RItz crackers with peanut butter. Of course. I grew up in the USA. Every country has its own thing. I don’t like nutella or vegemite or marmite.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
That dingo mural is really great! As for Marmite, no no no no. Although I have not tried it in 50 years, still no. The memory makes me shudder.
When I was growing up a treat was marmite and chip sandwiches, these days I prefer Vegemite, it isn't as strong and is nice in small doses on toast on a cold day.
Yuck on Nutella! Peanut butter I used with a chicken-recipe by Jamie Oliver. Was OK, but a whole jar is too much!
LOL on the Marmite!!! I have no clue other than good memories of travels and friends why I like it suddenly.
My friend, who ordered it, didn´t ask for a try... and Ingo refuses. Every time...
Really??? I don´t taste a difference!
I bought the Marmite here in Germany at the Grocery... The Vegemite really is from Australia...
