Awesome Dudes Awesome Vegemite On Toast
May 20th 2008 23:30
Alright losers, vegemite sandwiches suck balls, but vegemite on toast kicks arse.
So you’re sitting around at ten pm on a Monday night, and all you’ve got to drink is a half a bottle of vodka. You look in the fridge and there’s some orange juice, sweet. Then you think, I’m a bit peckish too, how ‘bout some toast.
What you need-
2 pieces of white bread (preferably thick or toast)
Butter
Vegemite
What you do-
Cook your toast in a toaster, when it pops up leave it in there for thirty seconds, if you take it out straight away it sweats on the plate and goes all soggy, so let it cool slightly to retain crunch.
Alright use butter or that butter with canola oil in it, and spread about a teaspoon on each piece of toast, then slap about a half a teaspoon of vegemite on each piece, not too much. Cut in half and serve.
Once you’ve finished gulp down the voddy and OJ, then go aaaaaahhhhh. This also works well in the morning as an eye opener.
Now if you’re thinking about using margarine, DONT! Jeff Janz told me that marge is grey before they put the food colouring in. I said thanks Jeff where’s your forehead gone.
Fun fact No12- Major League kicks arse over Major League II.

However, let me get to the real topic here;
Veggie sambos...well it depends...if the butter is too thick, same for the veg, then YUCK!
Toast, admittedly, does allow a tiny bit more leeway in that regard.
However, in defense of the humble and much maligned veggie sambo...
(Oh Americans et al; this term "sambo" is an Australian colloquialism for the word sandwich...just in case the term is misconstrued.)
Someone, sometime in the distant past, must have decided, when it came to shortening the word sandwich, (for Aussies must shorten everything because we are too bloody lazy to pronounce words in their entirety) anyway, they decided that "sanwo", or "sandwee" or whatever, just didn't make the grade, and settled on "sambo"...and no, it was not a vegemite sandwich that brought this word into use! It is for all types of sandwiches...and this is the first time it ever occurred to me to think about the "sambo" contraction for sandwich...odd really...as it does not make sense)
Anyhoo, if one puts on cheese, and/or cheese and lettuce, then, man you have one great sambo of cheese, crisp ice berg lettuce and vegemite...YUM!!
I love it when American friends (and rellies) first try vegemite...and of course, when younger, my brothers and I could not resist the temptation to remain silent when you see the poor unsuspecting Americans spreading a really thick sludge of vegemite across their sandwich for the first time...their facial expressions were marvellous..some tried to be polite about it too..."How do you like vegemite? Isn't it great?" Their faces of anguish contort into pitiful expressions of painful gratitude...poor things...hehe...others nearly vomited, which made us laugh all the more!
Then again, Americans have ROOT BEER!! YUCK!!! Oh, and Doctor Pepper!!! eeeewwww!!!!!
But we have the ultimate defense against spy infiltration in war time...VEGEMITE!!!

And to think all this time, I have been taking my toast out of the toaster as soon as it popped.
Who knew?

I am surprised you haven't heard that word!
I think you have to be of a certain vintage maybe and lived in certain areas to have used this word...colloquialisms often are localised, even in our comparatively young country with its small population...
...just for the record...!!!

if you are interested,
(and as you claim you are studying writing I would think you should be...)
I would consult the Macquarie University Linguistics Department, in regards to Australian colloquialisms, there you will indeed find reference to the word "sambo" meaning sandwich...
...just for the record...

cheers anyway...

the arrogance of youth...oh that's right, you are in your late twenties!
Say, isn't it time you that abandoned that childish obsession with unwillingness to admit you are wrong?
It does you good to admit your mistakes, that way you begin to learn more about yourself and the world at the same time.
The fundamental ethic needed to make a good writer is research, jarra....
Such a pity about your research phobia... but you might be able to do basic copy for a rural newspaper ...oh.. no, sorry, they require research too!

I spend 9 hours a day writing and researching jerk, just because you've come along with your brilliant idea doesn't mean I'm gonna snap to immediate interest and put it ahead of the 10 thousand other thing I have to look up today.
Everyone thinks because you're a writer you should immediately be interested in everything every two-bit, half-ass wants to talk about.
I didn't admit I'm wrong because I wasn't.
I said I never heard it - I haven't.
Weirdo.
Comment by Undercover Brother
Firstly, your comment was longer than the blog,
then you go and diss this guy on another long comment about him being arrogant for not admitting he was wrong, when he didn't even say anything!
You're the one looking arrogant now my friend.

No, I don't think that, I think you lack a generosity of spirit and your acumen and wit may be retarded by your ego.

It wasn't a "brilliant idea", it was merely fact.

I would only be interested in 'talking' to you if I thought you had something interesting and original to say.
I don't.

not heard of it? Not read what is on this page then? Not looked it up? Sounds like you are only interested in putting someone down, not in honest debate.

I think you are being unfair to Fog. He was only seeking to inform you, so I see your resentment towards him as out of place. Maybe you're having a bad day, but you can't blame Fog for that. You will attract more readers if you treat people with respect and dignity.
Some of your other readers have also taken up your meanness and this is much to their discredit. Why can't we all get along? All this animosity over an abbreviation (or is it slang?) for sandwich? Why would you get so negative over something so relatively insignificant?

Sounds bloody kiwi to me.
This is Australia, you say sanga!
Orble is so politically correct and lame now.
Fog was fully attacking that dude, all he did was stick up for himself, and you're calling him mean?
This is my last comment on orble, this shit is gay.

That was in a Safari theme restaurant of dubious quality that seamed to think naming a sandwich after a character in an old and kinda racist children's book (they even had pictures on the wall) that then got used as a derogatory term for African, was cool. I don't think it is, since I call a sandwich a Sanga as well.
But I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, Australia’s a pretty big country, with a small population, and there must be different slang in different parts of it. No need for anyone to get rude.
(No one mention potato cakes/scallops! Or pints/pots/schooners! And especially not Souvlakis/Donas/Kebabs/Giros!)
Anyways, Awesome Dude, awesome point on the letting the toast sit a bit before taking out of toaster; I’ve always done so, but without the conscious thought as to the reason. You are a sage, sir.
I look forward to seeing if I agree with you about cooking of noodles.
