Thanks for your comments, Rhonda...I am always looking for things
to fill out the orders to SimplyOz; will try the VitaWeats and SAOs
as soon as I can. But I have never heard of Vegemite along with
peanut butter; thought they were antithetical substances as most
people I've talked to say that Australians dislike peanut butter as
much as Americans dislike Vegemite. Interesting thing, our world.
