They sort of taste like a mix between a banana and an apple. Every year here, there is a paw paw festival where there is paw paw EVERYTHING! And every fall, this local brewery makes a Paw Paw Wheat beer, which is like a golden ray of sunshine being poured into my throat. Seriously the best beer of all.orangek8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15789011205806729028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1147751076358979222006-05-15T20:44:00.000-07:002006-05-15T20:44:00.000-07:00Mmm....

His girlfriend is English and she loves it. Eats tons of it. I have some but use it when making a recipe of PETA's seiten or for riching up broths in soups & stews or in gravy.

Children here particularly like vegemite and butter on salada biscuit sandwiches (they have little holes in them) and when you squeeze them together little vegemite worms appear. What fun! <BR/>I like my vegemite sandwiches with cheese, and sometimes I have them with cheese and celery. Sounds gross, but it's delicious if you try it. <BR/>Now I have to buy some lamingtons tomorrow!Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128659418796685701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1147509944881361592006-05-13T01:45:00.000-07:002006-05-13T01:45:00.000-07:00I'm australian and love vegemite spread thinly in ...I'm australian and love vegemite spread thinly in patches (its all about moderation with the stuff) on toast with vegan maragarine and a springle of nutrtional yeast. I've got my chinese fiance addicted to it too. <BR/><BR/>But vegan lamingtons well done! I've missed them since turning vegan. <BR/><BR/>And well done for a pretty authentic aussie lunch. I saw the aussie part and thought to myself 'oh noooo please don't let it be mock kangaroo or something horribly fake australian'. Every time I see australian pub/restaurants overseas they serve kangaroo something which very few aussies actually eat.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391678902908585000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1147505919876306882006-05-13T00:38:00.000-07:002006-05-13T00:38:00.000-07:00Greetings from Sydney!
