On a recent visit to Australia, there were what I thought were cinnamon
buns offered for breakfast.
As I don't particularly like the large quantities of cinnamon in those
buns, I avoided them only to find out later that the dark stuff in the
spirals was Vegemite!!!!!!

I have unopened jars of both, just because. They're both three or four
years old now. Nobody seems to mention them in the States, but if they
do, I'll be ready. Of course, the aged stuff might kill them now, but I
have it! I've never tasted either.

Best to be over sparing and add a little more if you would like it

at once. She told me that the thinnest smear on toast is all that is
necessary.
