GROCERY SHOPPING!

There's only a few items I really must have: popcorn, nuts, and frozen yogurt. If your cupboard were bare except for 2 items and you only had 1 in the refrigerator/freezer, what would they be?

What is Vegemite?

@Itsmee, it's really nasty, sorry Aussies....

didn't the "I Love Lucy" show have an episode about vegemite?

commented 12 years ago

No, that was about liquid vitamins....

Itsmee, Vegemite is made trom concentrated yeast extract, it is made by an , American company Kraft Foods Australia, it is a rich source of vitamin B. The Australian Army have it in their combat rations, We think the same for Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, most Aussies would not touch it with a ten foot pole, it sounds revolting, but then again i have not sampled it myself just like most of you with Vegemite.

If you keep vegemite for too long, does it get infected?

commented 12 years ago

bulletman

G'day Fig., i don't have Vegemite long enough, a 400 gram jar lasts just a little over a week. If Vegemite is kept in a warm enviroment too long it may go off, i always keep Vegemite in the fridge as it does get extremely warm at times.

commented 12 years ago

One more question on Vegemite? Is it a good source of vegetables? If so, I really want to try it. But I don’t think I can get it.

Provided they are grown in the right kind of soil (iron), potatoes and milk will provide all the nutrients needed to sustain life. So I guess for a third I's say chocolate.............

Beans and rice (That makes a vegetable and a protein)

Oranges (That would prevent Scurvy ~ whatever Scurvy is. I used to threaten my kids with that disease so they'd drink their Orange juice.

Shoot, that leaves out Calcium. Our teeth would fall out! I think this is an excellent question, Bob. I cannot believe the price of groceries. I need to do something to cut down our expenses. Your method is just a weeeeee bit too drastic.

Are they called Snags because of what happens if you carry a string of them loosely?!

I also like the British 'Bangers'!

commented 12 years ago

PEOPLELOVER

Well Figtree I must confess that I have never pondered the meaning of snags but you could be right.
We also call them mystery bags, for obvious reasons. Your guess is as good as mine as to what`s in them.
In the good old days a snag was a thick sausage, then they started making the thin ones now you can get lots of different types and flavours.
Problem is to-day they have taken the fat out and any good cook can tell you fat is where the flavour is.
