Vegie Delights


Not a bad product at all, though not a personal favourite of the sort.

Tastes nice in a spaghetti bolognese or the like, but definitely jazzing it up a bit with garlic, herbs, seasoning, what-have-you.

Vegemite


They’re age-old questions, questions old as time itself, questions remaining undeciphered, mysterious as the Loch.

PlayStation or Xbox? Holden or Ford? Marmite or Vegemite?

I’m with the Aussies on this one, sorry mate.

rupertpiers Hahaha, nah mate, I eat too many carbs for that right now, but honestly, a lot of carbs doesn’t always make me feel great. Maybe that’s your point. 🤣👌1 likeReply
aqualing Love it🥑 my go-to cooking oil💚 the price might go down if it’s more popular?1 likeReply
rupertpiers Ah true, nice! Yeah, I figured the same thing, but then, you never really see things go down so you? And to me it’s a catch 22, like, if things were lower, wouldn’t you likely sell more rather than keep it elite? But then, you gotta pay workers in the short-term, so the logical thing seems bump up the sale price. Eh, who knows! There’s always good ol’ sunflower oil. :-)1 likeReply

Culley’s Kitchen picklenaise is a personal favourite condiment of recent years.

A dairy-free aioli-style sauce infused with pickle and dill, very reminiscent of tartare sauce.
