2. Vegemite
3. Native trees don't shed their leaves, but the do shed their bark.

Date: 14 Aug 2008 07:51 (UTC)The best way to eat vege is to take a slice of hot buttered toast, and spread a really small amount of vege on top. A really small amount; such a small amount that toast still shows through and you're wondering if you have enough.
From here you can work your way up to an amount of vege that actually stains the toast.
