Toxic waste with salt.

LOL!

If you have never tasted marmite or promite its hard to describe. Its sorta
like bonox, but thicker, if that helps (probably doesn't).

The best way I can describe it to someone who has never tried anything like
it is to get powdered beef boullion or stock, and add just enough water to
make a thick paste. The taste, while not the same, will be similar in nature
to vegemite, ie very salty and umami tasting (umami is the 5th taste after
salty, sweet, sour and bitter. It detects protein - beef jerky and strong
cheese also have a strong umami taste)

Vegemite goes really well with cheese and we Aussies use it to add some
"zing" to things like meatloaf and rissoles. As I said before, its not
really suited to American style white bread. If you don't like things like
vintage cheese, strong salamis and beef jerky, don't bother. But if you do,
I'd reccomend you toast some sour dough bread, give it a genourous amount of
butter, and then put on the least possible amount of vegemite you are
physically able to do, just enough to add a hint of colour to the bread. Eat
with other savoury (high umami) things. If you like the taste, slowly
increase the amount of vegemite until you get to the right level.

Mixing it with the butter or margarine on a cold slice of bread or toast is
also quite traditonal, as is putting a layer of vegemite on before making
cheese-on-toast

He is enjoying his Vegemite!

Yup, that was pretty much the noise he was making (along with the other
squeals, grunts and abab-woo-gabbagabba-lalala-pthpthpth sounds)

This boy is training up to be a great Australian.

He's not just cute, he's adorable, just like his momma and daddy.

He looks like them both to me. I used to think he was a perfect mini-Joel.
He is so precious. I have grandchild fever now.

Yeah, but I can sure see Yowie now. Especially around the eyes.

Does he gurgle? My baby nephew makes a kind of trilling, gurgling
sound that I love.

It doesn't help that I keep reading that as "Botox", the brand name for
the injectable form of Type A botulinus toxin, the most poisonous
substance known!

I suspect that it's somewhat similar to the meat extracts and yeast
extract pastes we use in microbiology -- a very stiff paste, which would
be the next step after the most concentrated essence in French cooking
-- glace de viande. The latter will coat a spoon when dipped in it,
where the former has to be scooped out with some effort -- and is AWFUL
to weigh out.

Where does the beer become involved? There must be beer -- isn't that
the national soup of Australia? :-)
