A New Food!

I have really enjoyed the food in Australia...I don't have to cook (biggest perk) and most things I've tried have been very good...

...with the exception of what I got last night...

Cara and I decided just to grab something at the local 7/11 for supper. I looked in the bakery display and spotted a huge cinnamon roll. Suddenly, that sounded really good...I'd eat a few bites, and then enjoy the rest in the morning. The little bag I put it in said "Krispy Kreme." Great! I didn't even know Krispy Kreme made cinnamon rolls! Later, as we sat down to eat, I pulled a section of the roll off. The brown cinnamon was thick on the piece. Yum! I shoved it in my mouth.

I chewed and chewed. Hm, something was funny. I chewed some more.

Where was the sweetness? Where was the cinnamon?

Something tasted odd...but familiar...

My brain rapidly tried to reason things out. Surely, it would get better if I ate more. Suddenly, I stopped chewing.

Noooooooooo! C-c-c-could it be………………………………...v-v-v-vegemite?

This made no sense to me. Why would Vegemite be in a roll that looked like a cinnamon roll???

Today, I confirmed it with Belinda...I had bought a Vegemite and Cheese Scroll, apparently a common and well-loved treat for the Australians.

Bleh! No, thanks!

My only regret is that I didn't take a picture before I threw it away.
