It did not cure me, the neurosurgeon fixed that, but it is great to settle the stomach if you have a migraine. Despite what Bruce says the secret is not to slop it on like peanut butter but a thin smear is enough. I use it in my meat pie mix too. If I ever get over to your neck of the woods I'll bring you a jar.Irobotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-36623551866657580952018-08-11T08:56:43.966-04:002018-08-11T08:56:43.966-04:00Deborah: No, nothing picture-worthy, this time.

I suck on spoonfuls of vegemite. Great hangover cure. For the gourmet, mix vegemite with mashed avocado, olive oil and fresh ground black pepper.

They're actually sauteed, typically in margarine. For whatever reason they love them some margarine.<br /><br />Maybe it helps get the taste of Vegemite out of their mouths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-59568939553039886522018-08-09T21:08:15.949-04:002018-08-09T21:08:15.949-04:00Paco, no pictures of your travels?
