Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Today (January 26th) is Australia Day and one way that some of our friends down in summery Australia are celebrating is with Vegemite gelato.
The combination sounds slightly horrifying to anyone who doesn't already love Vegemite, the salty brewers' yeast paste that, like Marmite, is popular on toast in many parts of the world, but for those who enjoy its flavor, the combination is proving to be a popular seller for its creator. Gherardo Deflorian is from Italy and has a gelato shop, Gelateria Cremona, in Brisbane. Not a fan of Vegemite himself, he thought that the flavor would be unique, a little controversial and a bit more interesting than the same old flavors that everyone uses. He had to have his customers taste the gelato in progress, as he just couldn't stomach the concoction himself, but it has been met with positive feedback from gelato (and Vegemite) fans who say that "it reminds them of when they were little and they had Vegemite on toast with butter."

As I've read many times before, it does need to be spread very thinly on buttered toast. After some trial-and-error, I got the ratio down. Its actually not all that bad and I can see myself eating it more in the future, although I dont often eat toast.
As for the "vegelatomite"... I'm one for trying all sorts of things despite how gross they seem. My curiosity makes me wonder just how bad they are. In the case above, I've found that somet things are that bad at all (but, unfortunately, that isnt often the case).
I'll try one in a waffle cone, please.
