Is it possible to acquire a taste for vegemite after one try? The answer is yes! While on U.N. leave in Petra, Jordan I stopped into the one and only watering hole serving alcoholic beverages. The Infidel's Lair, I believe it was called. Relieved to find they had beer other than "Stella", I ordered a bottle. Only $10.00usd each, I might add! A middle aged Western couple strolled in and took a table near me. Upon hearing the unmistakeable Ozzie twang, I struck up a conversation with them. Our chat soon came around to, of all things, Vegemite whereupon I mentioned that I had never had a chance to savour that Ozzie treat. Well, faster than you can say, digeridoo, the sheila produced a jar from her purse! I grabbed a spoon and tried some...it was delicious! It is possible to acquire, and quickly, a taste for the stuff.
CHIMO!
