PB & V

Today I tried a new take on the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich that graces my lunch several times a week.  Several weeks after placing an order on Amazon.com, a small package shipped overseas from London lay on our doorstep.  Inside, jar of Vegemite was carefully packaged in cardboard and plastic.

Upon opening the jar, I first noticed a strong aroma that smelled distinctly of brewers yeast, not very unlike the aroma that rises from the Budweiser Brewery near my home in Worthington, OH.

Excited to try this Australian staple, I spread a very small amount on one side of my sandwich and a reasonable portion of peanut butter on the other.  The result was delicious.
