Today at the age of 22 i tasted Vegemite for the first time. Being Australian this a horrible thing. I should have been eating it from birth but since birth the smell has always made me gag (sort of the way it does to every other nationality). I have been called a freak, un-Australian and just plain weird. I work in childcare and recently as i have been spreading the thick black mud across their toast the smell has been doing something different to me. It has made me want to try some. I wasn't gaging or projectile vomiting I was actually thinking mmm smell and looks good. Finally today I bit the toast and... well I didn't hate it. I can't say it was love at first taste but I can finally say that I ate it and didn't mind it.
Vegemite you have one me over. I'm a happy little Vegemite.
