I was in the USA, going to Uni, the family I was staying with bought me some Vegemite so I would feel at home. Chris took the lid off and shoved it under my nose, I threw up all over her lunch and the table.
I was full of apologies and said I will clean up the mess. She said, she was sorry, it was meant to be a surprise (well it was, wasn’t it?) she had no idea I was allergic to that stuff and then added, I wouldn’t eat it either. True story the family dined out on that for the whole time I was there.

I’m sorta the same, the smell of vegemite makes me so queasy that I’ve never actually tried eating it (or any similar derivatives such as marmite).

Totally agree. Poached eggs on buttered and Vegemited sourdough with a side of avocado. The Vegemite turns a bland breakfast into a delicious one.

l prefer my Vegemite on toast to be covered with grilled tasty/cheddar cheese. Lately that toast is Coles sourdough and olive bread.

It’s awesome, you can eat it without anything on it too- that’s how good it is!

I think that’s a Laurent recipe. My two go-to breads atm are Laurent sourdough and the Woodfrog baguette. Both can be eaten without even butter.

I thought it was an anxiety thing that made do, but my mum and sister are the same. We’re preppers from way back! No shame in it.

They told the story over and over to all their friends, who thought it was hilarious.
It’s good and so is sliced tomato over vegemite toast… Aussie bruschetta!
Hmm, … I do remember going spare on PB & Tomato sangas with salt and pepper after I discovered them as a kid for a while, … but Tomato & Veg is a new one. 
Might give it a try with some amazing Organic late season ones my Neighbour gave me tonight.
Hope it doesn’t turn out to be perfect Tomato sacrilege, … 
when young id only eat lettuce with tomato sauce on it!
Seriously? Wow, … that is something.
Might even beat my old mate “Fang”, who as a 4th 5th 6th Grader would order nothing but Tom sauce sangas when we came back from Surfing, and the same after school at his house, … but his obsession didn’t end there.
I never know which one to finish this story on, as to wihich one qualifies as the strangest, … but he would have Tomato sauce on Cornflakes after School too, … and, believe it or not, … on Ice Cream as well.
(Ok, for once & for all help me out here Blitz, … which one is weirdest and works best as the finale??? )
tomato sauce on ice cream is the winner!

l was pleasantly surprised when l started work in China to find so many bakeries there. l lived only a 10 minute walk from work, but in between were 10 bakeries. Mostly they just sold wite generic white bread, or some strange concoctions like shredded pork on buns, and a few of the bakeries went bust over the years. However there was one chain that did a decent sesame seed bread, and also some garlic bread and crusty bread sticks. Then over the years they gradually stopped making most of the things l liked. They sold very small loaves of only 9 or 10 slices.
Only if it’s covered in hommus
Yuk, that is truly disgusting. No, I haven’t tasted it but its like tomato sauce of fish and chips.
