Today we had moms group at our house so we hosted an Australian morning tea. To celebrate Lucy and I wore our Cronulla tshirts, we put up our Australian map (which no one looked at) and we had toy koalas out around the food. We ate vegemite sandwiches, tim tams, caramello koalas, and pavlova. I made everyone try the vegemite sandwiches with some funny reactions. One mom thought it tasted like artichokes (which she doesn't like) and another like beer but all unanimously decided they didn't like vegemite (one mom couldn't even swallow her first bite!) But on the other hand they all loved the rest of the fare on offer especially the pavlova. [By the way I am having problems cooking pavlova at the moment because of the high humidity here.] A couple of moms took home sandwiches and tim tams for their husbands to try. We all had a great time together with the kids playing and the moms chatting. However Lucy needs to learn how to share her toys with other people. She was especially possessive of her new chair with her name on it. After everyone was gone Lucy sat down to lunch and decided that she didn't like vegemite sandwiches either!

Keep the vegemite down under

Perhaps a happy medium would be a special Vegemite pavlova.
Cheers,

maybe try vegemite toast and grilled cheese - doesn't nearly all (stereotyped) american food have grilled cheese on it?
you were very good to cook pavlova...they just seem like too much hard work to me..but am happy to eat the product of someone else's efforts.
Oh how funny! Kids do the darndest things :) I am about to try to make pavlova... get back to you in a few weeks... K :)
Why not also try deep frying them in heaps of oil, they are sure to like them then!!
