Dear Australians

[thebitterguy]

My mother, on a recent trip to your fair land (by recent, read "sometime in mid 2003") brought me back a gift of a small toy Koala and a bottle of vegemite.

Now, I have vague recollections of the substance from my time down under (WJ '88), and it was generally considered to be the kind of thing locals feed to visitors as a gag (Sure, we always eat Poutine! It's great! Try some!).

Anyway, so I now have a bottle of the stuff. Only thing is, it expired a couple months ago (April 30 '04).

So, here's the question: is it now poisonous? Less palatable (if such a thing is possible)? Just kinda icky?

It's staring me in the face, daring me to do something with it. Is it safe to throw it out? Incinerate it? Feed it to the cats?

Help me! Dear God, help me!

Elle has the right of it. Vegemite endures.

To test the waters, I recommend this simple breakfast:

- Toast some bread

- Butter it

- Spread a thin layer of Vegemite on it

- Eat it

- Savor the salty, yeasty black goodness

Vegemite is great. Just don't expect it to be sweet.
