haha sorry i have to laugh at the whole vegemite thing. I grew up with it because i'm Australian, but hehehe it's pretty funny what others think a) of it and b ) what we think of it. Just a little hint, if you ever feel crook, have some hot tea and vegemite on toast, it does wonders. oh, and when putting vegemite on things make sure you can see the bread pretty well through it, you want a SCRAPE not a lot, it's not chocolate.

Speaking of which,, you can also buy the little individual packets of Nuttela in Europe for a special treat on your toast once in a while! AHHH NUTELLA!!

Ah....Nutella! The dream! hehehe
I must say vegemite does not sound apetizing at all, but i'm anxious to try it, just to know what it exactly is!

Is Vegemite like Marmite? If so it's pretty disgusting- it looks and tastes like thick, used car engine oil  . |

I work with two English women who have Marmite on toast ever day at morning break. Man, that stuff stinks!  |

but vegemite is like the best medicine in the world!!! Hmmm...you people, you don't know what you're missing out on. You need toast, butter and a scrape of vegemite...it's brilliant and nice hot tea...just try it!

I've tried Vegemite and it's not on my list of favourite foods. I suspect it must be an "acquired taste".

I think vegemite on toast is one of the first foods on the reccommended list when trying babies on solids for the first time...  |

Well... I am from Spain (olé viva la tortilla de patata!!) and all I can say is: if you come here, you can buy fresh food from local markets or supermarkets at a very cheap price and, if you wanna taste any typical dish, go on!! Restaurants are not very expensive (apart from those luxurious ones) and there are thousands of tasty dishes. About my experience abroad, in England and Ireland I tried with supermarkets and Fish and Chips (well, I can't deny that once I went to McDo but I'm not very proud of it). And in France, I tried with kebabs (mmmmm delicious!!), they are cheaper and healthier, and local markets and supermarkets (ED and Lidl are the cheapest). If you go to Euro Disney, try Planet Pizza!!  |

Food provides can provide interesting angle to anyone's travels! Having said that... My wife and I Will soon embark on our first trip to Europe this month (11-25 Nov). Please indicate the "must try" food in the following cities (and where to buy it/ price): Athens, Paris, Milan, Rome. To drive the point home, it's something like eating dimsum in HK or rock oysters in Sydney... Of course, you get the drift |
