Six years in an Australian boarding school means I hate vegemite with a passion few can understand.

I doubt it has much to do with my genes.

I hate vegemite

Is it as bad as steak and kidney pie?

Hehehe...I listen to a weekly podcast called PFW In Progress (New England Patriots football...American football) and it is kind of fun because they can say and do things on the podcast they might not do on the Radio.

They had a Patriots fan from Australia on as a guest, and he brought them various things from Australia...some kind of cookies they really liked, and...vegemite.

When they tried the vegemite, all of them went berserk, and it was mental image of four grown men trying to simultaneously wipe their tongues off a la Tom Hanks in the movie “Big” where he eats the caviar!

I can guess, paternal grandfathers early navy years involved massive quantities of tuna which he loathed later in life. On the other hand rice, which in pittance quantities was almost his exclusive diet for his 3 1/2 years as a POW of the Japanese, he didn’t mind because as he put it, “anything you add to it makes it better”...
