Dear friends from Queensland. What on earth is Vegemite? I saw it as a recommendation from a list of foods that came to me from my Dr. office and they got this list from Australia. It talks of Joules and things like Vegemite spread on bread. Is it like p-nut butter? Please forgive my ignorance, but I am truly interested!

Sounds to me like you can have a similar experience eating Cincinnati Chili. Anyone who ain't from here can't stand it. But if you're from here, it's sacrilige to not eat it. Most people can't imagine nutmeg, cocoa and cinnemon in their chili.

It's good eatin'! And, easy on the band (although it is very high in fat).

MMM .. hommus!! I was introduced to it when I moved here. It looked nasty lol, but I finally caved and tried some. I don't have it on pita bread, but on crackers/biscuits instead.

Once a week, usually on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, my family has what we call a "picky night". I go to the market and get gourmet crackers, dips (generally hommus, tzatziki, olive), cheeses, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh veggies and a few different types of deli meats. We just sit around watching movies and munching. That's our splurge for unhealthy food generally, as I'm not too keen on pizza anymore or fish n chips...

When I say splurge though, I "may" get 4 crackers in lol.

Big fan of the lamb roast as well, but I tend to like the fatty bits best so don't cook them often lol.
