Vegemite: 'Tastes like Australia'

Introduction:

Every culture has its own unique foods. Vegemite is one of the most well known Australian foods. It is a dark brown spread that many Australians put on sandwiches, toast or crackers. It has a very strong, unique flavor and many young Australians grow to love it. My Australian friends told me that Vegemite is best with some tomato and cheese, so I decided to try it out on a sandwich. 

What food did I try?:

I tried a Vegemite sandwich. It is a classic Australian snack that is very healthy because of the added vitamins.

How did I feel when I tried it?:

When I first arrived in Australia, I tried Vegemite by eating a spoonful. It was horrible because the taste was  too strong. My first time trying Vegemite didn't go very well. My friends told me that Australians never eat Vegemite by the spoonful. They weren't surprised that I didn't like it after my first attempt. My friends explained that when I make my Vegemite sandwich, I should use only enough to cover the tip of a butter knife. I was nervous to try a Vegemite sandwich. I took their advice and only used a little for my sandwich. This made my experience with Vegemite much better. I really enjoyed the sandwich I made!

How is the food prepared?:

Vegemite sandwiches are popular in Australia because they are quick, easy and healthy.
