Never had Vegemite but I have had marmite. It's an acquired taste. But you have to eat it correctly to even get past the first bite. I made the mistake of spreading it on toast in about the same thickness you would jelly or jam. Huge mistake! Took one bite and couldn't spit it out quick enough. Tasted like liquid smoke mixed with a bottle of salt soaked in beef bullion. Not good.
Years later I was at a friends house in Newcastle and he made some marmite sandwiches that tasted pretty good. Seems the trick is to butter the toast first then just barely put a small dab of marmite on and spread it ultra thin. It adds a salty smokey beef flavor to the butter and was quite tolerable. Mind you, this was the UK stuff, never had the down under brand.

Yes an old Aussie trick is to allow the visitor to spread their Vegemite thickly and then watch that first bite.

It was supposedly used for the WW2 malnourished POWs when they returned.

Good hangover food too (not that I have those anymore).

A razor and some Leggs pantyhose - suddenly all the guys want to get to know you

It's doubtful that my beard would fit in with that look.

I did Atkins for about 2 weeks and got tired of being a culinary accountant. Then I found a book named The Metabolism Miracle Cookbook-- recipes are ok and it is essentially low-carb. It was easy to follow. I continued reading things like Wheat Belly-- very fond of his books, Good Calories Bad Calories, Why We Get Fat, and some other scientific publications. In the end, I follow a very low carb/Ketogenic diet. To say it easily, I eat good proteins, some dairy, and green vegetables that grow above the ground-- cauliflower counts. If I were starting over I'd either follow Wheat Belly or The Metabolism Miracle (The Diabetes Miracle is good if one is pre or diabetic) and get close to where you want to be before digging deeper into Keto. It does work-- every time it is done. I have taught many people and they all have good success. I lost 230 pounds over the first 3 years or so and have maintained since. I've attached a before and after because most don't believe it-- some still don't even after the pics. Trust me, if I can do this, anyone can. Feel free to PM me if I can answer any questions.

Is that an 'eat nothing grown underground diet?
Carrots? Parsnips? Onions? Sweet Potato?

 

[RedVee]

An opposite diet. Should be big in Ireland.

Could you eat only potatoes for a year?

Don't say things like that here, you will get triple dog dared!

You did mention that you're in Texas, might not go over well, conversely, you could trim the poodle as well - live dangerously!

Eating bad tasting food helps that?

 

[rumblejunkie]

Just 'discovered' the EHX Cock Fight cocked-wah and fuzz. It's Mick Ronson in a box!

Probably not a lot of use for bass.

And it sounds painful !

 

[RedVee]

LOL - but no, it is supposed to be very nutritious. All the B vitamins etc.
And I believe it too.

I also classify Guinness draught as a Health Food....

Guinness is good for you, say medical experts

 

[Haji]

Guinness and other porters are salads in a bottle. Dark is good for you.

It's an essential ingredient for the best stew

 

[Bent77]

Let the fun begin

Is it considered bad technique to clank?

 

[rumblejunkie]

First its Thud and now its Clank . Its not bloody buscuit tins were playing , or is it ? . I like a bit of clank in the right context , especially if Im going for that Steve Harris sound .

Yes, thud biscuits

 

[Haji]

Thud Biscuits ain't a half bad band name...

What I find interesting about Steve Harris is that he plays flats, and they just barely make it to the end of a set. I never would have guessed flats in a million years, but they are.

If you ever get the chance visit Ireland and taste it there, it's nothing like anything that gets exported. I can't drink the stuff normally but in Ireland it has a wonderful creamy side to it that is, well wonderful
