But how may people here had to google "wombat" to find out what they were?

OMG!! That is sooooooooooooo true! Hehe when I heard wombat, I had no idea what that was. Well I heard of it, but little did I know it would be this cute and cuddly little fuzzball from Australia.

Lol we don't have tigers on our cereal

We have Toucan Sam, Snap Crackle and Pop, King Wheeties and Din-O-saurs. lol Actually some of those are probably American cereals too

But it is the same as me trying to explain what a jaffle is, or why Vegemite is the best sandwich spread ever

(A jaffle is a cast iron implement that hold two slices of bread and a filling and presses them together to form a tasty pocket, it is then placed in hot coals to toast, taken out and eaten

Nowadays though you can get fancy electric ones

but they taste better cooked on the fire

)

WOW!!! The world is SOOOOOOOOOO much bigger than Brooksville, FL.! That's so cool. I truly love learning about the different faces of the globe, it is so fascinating. We have toucan sam, snack crackle and pop. The others, IDK. I love fruity pebbles, and lucky charms. Lucky Charms has the leprechaun. Hehe, remembering a Aussie friend I met (AKA interrogated--I asked her every single question I could fathom about Australia) she told me about this 'vegemite'. -tilts head to the side, showing confusion- I don't remember what it was but the name is familiar. Is that veggie cream cheese (neufchatel cheese)? Isn't that so wild how things can be so different all over the world? That always fascinates me.

Vegemite is a thick black gunky spread made from yeast and is the worlds richest known source of vitamin B

Its really yum, but Americans just don't seem to have a taste for it

Interestingly though Americans now make it after buying out Kraft, which used to be an Aussie company. A health group recently tried to ban it from Australia because it has a high salt content, needless to say the campaign went really really badly lol.

We don't have Leprechaun cereal, we have Skippy-o's though shaped like little kangaroos

I used to live in a place called Brookeville, it had a population of six people

Me and my dad in one house, my nan and pa just down the road and two other blokes just up the road

It was so peaceful up there

When I saw your vegemite I immediately thought of Vitameatavegamin. On an episode of "I Love Lucy,
Lucy was doing a commercial selling bottles of a vitamin drink. It took so many takes that Lucy became drunk. This was one of the funniest episodes, ever.
Have you seen the reruns IMR?

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #56 on:** March 16, 2009, 01:02:17 AM »

I love Lucy

Nope never heard of it... I just googled it though, it was made in 1957

I wasn't even born then

For those who aren't familiar with Vegemite...

When I was young, (soooo long ago,) some of my veghead friends talked about Vegemite, but I never tasted any.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #58 on:** March 16, 2009, 05:43:11 AM »

Its not really something you can describe lol, its salty, but you don't really notice the salt, very strong, thick... I practically live on the stuff but I can't describe it lol.

Oh I love MARMITE!!! I eat marmite every day on my toast!

It's just like the Australian vegemite, just a different name. It's made out of a yeast extract! YUMMY!
It's said that you either love Marmite or you hate it.

gucci_boi7782 · « **Reply #60 on:** March 16, 2009, 09:50:14 AM »

This is SUCH culture shock!! They have vegemite/marmite, but have never heard of 'I Love Lucy' ("LUCY!! YOU GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!") Hehe, that is as American as apple pie!

However, as far as this thick gunky yeasty thing, I think I'll let all you folks keep it. It just looks like black tar. To each his own, eh? (Trust me, I've ate some 'adventurous' stuff too)

And for Brookeville, hehehe they're pretty much the same. We are a pretty small town (A LOT more than 6 folks though)

Is there any way you can see the old reruns of I Love Lucy? She was the best comedian ever. If you can find any, please watch some of the episodes. Besides being so funny, it will show you what the 50's were like here in America. My favorite episodes where: Lucy at the chocolate factory, Lucy door to door sales person.(she was doing home per menants.) and had to put some pocket curls, named that because if you over process hair it breaks off roller and all. You had no choice but to hide them in your pocket.(poor ladies) and Lucy stomping on grapes for wine.
BTW, I was a cosmetologist years ago and never had a pocket curl. TG!

Ha ha I agree with fancyfont, I loved the chocolate factory one. I think (if you live in US) that you can rent and buy the episodes at a video store and they sometimes come up on TV Land if you have the channel. They're really funny

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #63 on:** March 16, 2009, 05:39:15 PM »

Wow Brooksville has a website

Lol I was the only person in Brookeville who even knew what the internet was

I asked my Nan and Pa about I love Lucy, Pa thinks he might have an episode or two somewhere in his old video collection, he said he'll take a look for me later

fancyfont · « **Reply #64 on:** March 16, 2009, 08:13:40 PM »

I hope your pa still has a video or two of Lucy. Once in awhile I'll see an episode on TV and can't resist watching it. Still as funny as ever.
