Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?

So that blind people can hate them as well.

lol - I am Canadian but I'm not from (or living in) British Columbia, so I don't carry the same biases about Vegemite.

Here's a friendly recommendation: since you have transports heading this way anyway, how about sending a few crates of Vegemite? That way, when the dust settles and the desolation formerly known as B.C. is open to pillaging from Albertans, we can pick up a few jars of the stuff for our own enjoyment.

You could not pay me enough to eat Vegemite. I think most of us get the taste as kids when the parents ram it down our throats and we forget that it tastes like crap.

I know I am in the minority, even in my own household, but nobody will convince me otherwise.

I once had to explain what Vegemite was to an American friend. I told him that it was a bread spread with the look and consistency of used engine oil, with approximately the same taste.

Despite my post above, I'm with you guys on this. I had it "force fed" to me as a kid. After being covered with projectile vomit a couple of times, my "olds" gave up.

I so agree with you, Ron. I thought it was just because I grew up in Scotland, and didn't eat it as a child, but obviously not. I think it's horrible stuff! My daughter loves it though.

From Wikipedia:

"Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans."

Unfortunately they left off the last bit, which was "and other people with no taste"

Vegemite is probably the nastiest stuff i've ever eaten. However, if you are someone that goes camping a lot, then you cant go wrong with vegemite.

It doesnt go bad that quick, easy to carry, can be smeared on your body to ward off carnivorous animals, so nasty even bugs wont eat it and if you have a flat tire or a hole in a boat, it will double as a patch

I think you got it right Michael.

It can also be used to legally torture prisoners (make them eat it - it is a food after all, kind of). I have patented this idea so send the CIA and other acronyms to me to get the exact details of how to administer it.

Think of Vegemite-boarding.

Looks like war is brewing.

My money is on the Aussies: The Canadian Navy is larger but Aussie naval vessels are newer, faster, and pack more firepower, so I think they will come out on top, as long as they bring some heavy duty coats. Either that, or devise a cunning plan to lure the Canucks down to Oz; I've heard Hosers actually melt if the temperature rises above 0°C.

[QUOTE=thunderbird;1586220]Australians in Vancouver tell me that they are being cruelly persecuted in Vancouver. They feel the insult is compounded by what they perceive as favoritism towards Britain. Initially, I thought it was a joke, but they were serious. I mean it is just bread spread!

The ex-patriots who now live in Vancouver don't sound like Aussies anymore! Complaining and moaning.
Geez - all my Aussie friends would just go online for their bread spread and be done with it. They are unconcerned with these types of fantasies: .....ooooooo.....the Canadians are plotting against them.
HA!

I think Aussies should concentrate on Tim Tams to avoid hostilities - you can't eat a Tim Tam and stay angry.

My first thought was, Australia has Tim Hortons donut shops? But that would be Timbits, not Tim Tams.

I wouldn't feel sympathy for people who do crazy things like wander into the jungles of Paraguay and remote villages in Guizhou China. Seems no matter where I go I bump into Australians.

I'll make a point of tracking it down somewhere. I think I just might know where I just might be able to find TimTams (a shop in Yaletown, Vancouver that I accidentally discovered on my way back from a business meeting)

tim tams are chocolate coated biscuits with a cream filling, more like the rolls Royce of chocky biscuits in the supermarket. they come with differing flavors.

there was one called ? arh caramel creame type flavor. they were being discontinued so we brought the shop out. we were eating these things for weeks on end. magic stuff thats for sure.

@ Maresko above , the wildlife mate have you seen how big our drop bears are ? they are getting hungry to this time of year, so many tourists from overseas still stand under the gum tress and we tell them not to, they soon shift when these bears start dropping from the branches as it scares them.
