Is it possible to obtain this vegemite in the US? I've heard a lot about it and figure it's worth a try.

Call around to health/natural food stores. Also, if there are any shops that sell British goods, they often carry it. Just don't smell it before you taste it... -LBJ

My daughter went to school in Australia this past fall and come home with some Vegemite, I think it must be an acquired taste

My all time favorite has got to be Vegemite. It is dynamite stuff and the secret performance enhancer of Aussie swimmers. Stock up now before the world finds out and bans the product. clyde

I feel hungry thinking about this..Home made tacos with fried shells not the store bought box shells. Spaghitti with Giant Meatball, Cachiucco (sic) (italian seafood stew). Shrimp Shrimp Shrimp! Spare ribs and saurkraut..Soup and crusty bread. Oh I could go on and on but my Favorite "Healthy" Food Dish is... Chicken Souvlaki Platter! Grilled Greek marinated chicken *** on skewers over a green salad with Greek dressing, Fresh tomato quarters,mild salty Greek pepperoncini peppers, Greek Kalamata Olives and ground Feta cheese served with a side of hot Gryo Bread cut in quarters (Gryo bread does not have the pocket that Pita has and is a little softer) Low fat, carbs, and good!

As a kid for meets (and I still eat it ) I like cottage cheese rolled up in bologna, hence the name, bologna roll-ups. It used to be perceived as strange in the PBJ crowd. Since I tend to travel for work, I just love trying new foods, especially regional. The two last I had were in nothern Spain..... Pulpo - which is boiled octopus with butter and paprika, awesome Fabada Asturias - beans, pork shoulder, chorizo, and blood sausage with a side of the blue cheese, Cabrales. Northern Spanish chicken soup!

It's a good thing that is the only time we do it - it takes a year for the smell to leave the house!:) Heh, that was the tradition 'back home' for my family too. Dare I admit ... I like sourkrout.

okay, you all are making me hungry! I use to be a pretty picky eater in my younger days then I was lucky enough to be able to live in several different parts of the world. LOL I had to eat local fare or go hungry. Surprise! Most of it was wonderful! But, I'm still a southern girl at heart and one of my favorite menu is a fresh veggie dinner (that's what we call lunch in the south) It would consist of: field peas, fried okra (sliced very thin and breaded in white cornmeal, not the horrible fried okra you get in most restruants) stewed white field corn (not the yucky yellow cream corn from a can. Cream corn and stewed corn are two different things), pinto beans, copper penny carrots, cole slaw, fresh sliced tomatos, cornbread w/butter (made with white cornmeal and NO sugar), sweet ice tea and pecan pie. (If pecan pie isn't available turtle cheese cake will do even though it isn't typically southern) Having lived on the coast I also love shrimp and oysters. There isn't anything like a low country boil on the beach with a pit of coals covered with a piece of tin for roasting oysters on the side. Top that meal off with icy cold beer. I think I've gained a couple of pounds reading this thread so I'm off to the pool.

Yesterday being New Year's Day I was able to make and eat my favorites - collards (for money), black eyed peas (for luck) and tons of cornbread. I've been doing this so long I fear what would happen if I missed it on New Year's Day. Lest The Bug think I'm a poseur, I did actually chop the greens myself and cook them in hocks.

Cinc, come on now, I said "most parts" not Texas. I actually lived in San Deigo. What an awesome town. Roberto's have some great carne asada burritos, just perfect for a post surf grind. Hook'em Blue

You mean there no real Mexican food in California or Arizona or New Mexico. New Mexico has the highest percentage of Mexicans in the US at 50 percent and California ties Texas. Visit La to San Diego and their are neighborhoods that are 50 percent Mexican or better. Arizona has abour a 26 percent population.

For me it has to be authentic fresh Mexican food. Although, good Mex is hard to find in most parts. While outside of Texas, it has to be fresh bagels with veggie spread (I am a big time carnivore, but that veggie spread is good). I went to school in Ann Arbor via South Texas and had never seen snow much less tasted or smelled fresh bagels. A nice hot bagel and strong cup of joe really hit the spot on those frigid winter mornings. Hook'em Blue
