With all the sourdough bread I’ve been baking lately, I’ve realised how much I miss Vegemite. Yes, peanut butter is great, but sometimes I just want the salty bite of the Great Australian Spread. So I made the detour to World Market the other day to pick up a jar (they only have little ones, unfortunately).

Here’s the iconic 1950s TV ad. And here’s the remake from two years ago, featuring the same actress who played the baton-twirling little girl in the original version. Yeah, we love our Vegemite.
