CRAZY CAFETERIA LADY PUTS BUTTER ON TOP OF VEGEMITE

I went to the cafeteria this morning to get my usual multigrain toast with butter and vegemite. They have a new lady there and she didn't know that you could change the temperature of the toaster for thin/thick/turkish bread. So my thick toast came out as warm bread. I asked her to put it through again. She put *one* slice through again and kept the other slice out which she proceeded to butter. Another girl came over, having seen the toast go in again, and said that the toaster should be turned up and proceeded to do so. The poor man next to me ended up with slightly burnt turkish toast. My toast came out *very* brown. The girl started to butter the turkish bread. The lady who was serving me got impatient waiting for the butter knife, and reached for the vegemite instead. So the toast had vegemite on it without butter. When the girl was finished with the butter knife, crazy lady took it and PUT THE BUTTER ON TOP OF THE VEGEMITE!!!



I mean, honestly, who puts the butter on top of *anything*?

Sammy

Who puts vegemite on anything?

Ewwww...

Sucks about the toast though. I hate when people do stuff like that. I guess because it boggles my mind that some people can't comprehend simple tasks.

*about to die in a fit of giggles*

Ah, Jojo, you SO crack me up today. hee! Thank you!

And as for the cafeteria lady, I suppose it's obvious why she works in a cafeteria to begin with... Be thankful she's not a nurse or something. *lol* (gee, now I'm reminded of a silly skit from SNL where the guy's every solution was to put margarine on it. ROFL!)

It is obvious why the lady works in a cafeteria. Now to give you another laught. What is vegemite.

Vegemite

Ah,the lady handles your food. I wouldn't upset her too often, if I were you.

This travesty would never be allowed to happen with Marmite !

(sorry, just had to throw that in there!)

I noticed that the home page for Vegemite also has a recipe for Roast Pumpkin and Leek Risotto.

Excuse me while I run away screaming.

We can get Vegemite in specialty food stores here, but I don't know anyone who has ever eaten it.

How about some peanut butter instead?

I discovered Vegemite in London a few years ago. The memory still makes me shudder.

As for the intelligence of cafeteria ladies . . .

A few years ago I quit working full-time, but I actually considered applying to be a part-time "lunch lady" at my daughter's school. She begged me not to, because she would never be able to stand the humiliation.

I understood what she meant a few months later, when we found out she is mildly allergic to wheat, and I tried putting her on a wheat-free diet. I went in to the cafeteria to talk to the manager to find out if they served anything that she could eat. The manager swore up and down that nothing they served, including the bread, had any wheat in it . . .

Oh man, not me! I don't mind cooking with butter, but just to cut off a pad and put it on something...I can't stand it! Every time I visit my folks, they think I just dropped in from outer space.

ETA: On the other hand, I do hang out this place revolving around a guy from another planet. Maybe it's finally corrupted me.

O.o Now, I may be a bit daft when it comes to cooking (Lois has more skillz in the kitchen than I do), but... um... isn't bread usually made with wheat?

My mom was a lunchlady type thing at a mental institution once. (I used to think that if I ever got committed I'd at least have an 'in', but the woman went and quit when she moved to Tennessee! Grr) And my mom at least knew how to make toast...

But I agree! Never anger the Food Handlers. Even if they DO put butter on the Vegemite and onions on your omlette when you ask for MUSHROOMS... Grr again. Mushrooms does NOT sound like ONIONS!!! (Evil villianous vegetables trying to take over that which is pure untainted fungi!)

Onions? Mushrooms? bwahahaha! No, no, no!! Omelets should contain only ham and *cheese*!

LOL!

vegemite... marmite...

Someone needs to introduce you guys to Nutella.

NEIN!! Omlettes are made with ham and cheese, yes, for they would be completely SICK AND WRONG without them, but the omlet (I give up on spelling this word...) also needs the cool and snappy flavor of tomatoes and the healthy fungal qualities of mushrooms to properly pull it together! Without these two ingrediants, it is merely an... um... OM!!

Oh, that delicious Hazelnutty confection! I'm confused though... is it more like peanutbutter, or more like a jelly?

And even better than Nutella... APPLEBUTTER!! (Which you put on a samich with peanutbutter and and and oh my, some banana slices would totally rock on that thing...)

Man... Now I'm hungry!

Applebutter was always a breakfast food for me in the South. It went on butter biscuits. ^_^ I can't imagine it on a peanut butter sandwhich.

I think Nutella is more like peanut butter though. I spreads like it and doesn't need to be refrigerated. ^_~

Nutella? *drools* I used to live on the stuff when I was in College. <g>

And someone seriously need to send me some applebutter, because I keep hearing about it... and I WANT SOME!

...ahum. thank you. *lol*

Hang on... what's a PB&J sandwich to you? Lunch??
It qualifies as breakfast to me. Or am I just in the wrong part of the world again? LOL


ETA: ...OK, I went and checked that website for Marmite. They have a gallery of pictures that people made with that stuff on their toast!!! [choking with laughter]

Actually PB&J was Lunch... or a snack for me.

I don't know if I can get applebutter here in LA. If I could I would totally send you some Lara. ^_~

Never heard of that combination before, but I definitely want to try that out now!!

Oh and it's nice to read that there actualy other people who like applebutter

Ok, if I understand this Vegemite and Marnite are yeast spreads. If so, WHY would anyone want to eat that on bread. YUCK, SHUDDER.

But who am I to talk. I eat grits, Southern or (Arkansas) corn bread which has no sugar and very little flour so it is has I guess a grain texture as opposed to smoooth. To me egg salad is really egg olive salad - chopped hard boiled eggs and chopped olives mixed together with mayo and a little slaw dressing.

Despite all that YEAST SPREAD?

wait, wait, wait... what??? YEAST spread? I didn,t read the words, my eye caught the link that said "image gallery" and when I saw that people posted pics of what they'd drawn on their toast with the stuff, I had already decided it was an art material - not food. *lol*

...but then, as far as weird foods go... I happen to really, really love poutine . Fries, with brown sauce and cheese curds. Hey, I live in Québec - that thing is the closest we have to a "national dish". heheh!

Oh, I am all about Nutella. With crusty French bread...

Because they are BR-R-R-ITISH! (or at some point their ancestors were)

I love the British, truly. Never met nicer people than those I met there. But Vegemite and Marmite rank right up there with... well, actually, Vegemite and Marmite are in a class by themselves. Now, scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam - well, now we're talking!

Well, yes... But really, we're New Zealanders and Australians. Big difference, even if we are both part of the Commonwealth.

I like Nutella. I just haven't had it in years. But it was very nice and chocolatey. Hmm... Going shopping today... Maybe Nutella should be on the list!

~Anna.

Oh, the peanut butter and apple butter sandwich was amazing! Or at least it was 15 years ago LOL. It could have just been my uneducated taste buds.

And PB&J SO qualifies as breakfast! Or at least it's the only thing I feel human enough to make in the morning besides coffee. It's usually breakfast/lunch to me depending on what I'm doing before class starts at 11.
