I’m totally addicted. It’s a beautiful blend of flavour from both cultures. You can eat it as a snack, or go for the full breakfast meal. Many will scoff, but I say it’s the tastiest thing since… the invention of gravy chips by Hamish and Andy.
I’m talking bout Vege-bagel. The concoction sweeping the country (or the Hamilton household) with a vengeance. Like a well structured Tarantino movie, this tasty morsel leaves you wanting more.
You start with a pack of plain (not sesame) bakehouse bagels (or the like), toast to perfection and then add liberal amounts of butter (NOT margarine- this’ll kill it) and the beer-aftermath vegemite. It’ll literally blow your mind.
You’re probably thinking, “so what. I bet that just tastes like vegemite on toast. And that’s nothing revolutionary, Nik.” I beg to differ. Let me tease it out for you. (Heck, I have the time.)
As a cooking connoiser, I take into account the subtle blend of flavours on the palate. This dish combines a heaftier amount of palate-soothing carbohydrates than even a thick slice of toast to compliment the Australian creation of beer residue (vegemite).
It’s precisely these satisfying proportions which makes this particular aussiemerican delight so alluring. (Note Aussie goes first- it’s only fair. As Driscoll pointed out, channel 7’s coverage of the Olympics showed no other country winning as much as Australia. Oi Oi Oi)
Furthermore, a slice of toast is almost cold as soon as you finish condimenting it (adding the condiments to those advese to self word creation). The bagel on the other hand, will hold it’s heat well till the end of the last bite. A far superior substitute to toast.
Thank you for reading about the culture blend of the century. This is 4 minutes of your life which you’ll never get back. But don’t blame me, I didn’t make you read it. You went into this of your own volition. So I have no sympathy in my pocket for you. But I may have a few pre-chewed rusks if you're interested.
