VEGEMITE SANDWICH TRADIONAL (VEGGIE SANGER)
I can't believe a traditional "Veggie Sanger" has not been posted! "No Worries Mate"................ I am here to fix that! Vegemite sandwiches are terrific for school lunches, and used to be an Aussie Tradition, not so long ago but not so sure about now. Vegemite is high in Vitamin B .....but it is quite salty so it probably not considered a health food as such because of the saltiness. But they do not go soggy like a lot of sandwich's do at school! A Vegemite sandwich is a quick and easy snack for both kids and adults. All you will need is bread and butter or margarine .......and of course that jar of black gold "Vegemite! " Of course you can add things if you prefer, like cheese or avocado! Even use crumpets instead of bread, for an amazing snack. Come be an "Happy Little Vegemite!"

Steps:
- butter bread, if you find the taste of vegemite too strong.
- spread with vegemite to your desire.
- get as many potato chips on as possible.
- put a piece of bread on top of that.
- press down to crunch the chips and let them break.
- cut into 4 squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Spread the Vegemite thinly and evenly on the bread. Too much Vegemite can be overpowering.
- If you're using butter, let it soften to room temperature before spreading it on the bread. This will make it easier to spread and prevent it from tearing the bread.
- If you're using cheese, use a good quality cheddar or mozzarella cheese. Grated or sliced cheese will work best.
- Toast the bread if you like a crispy sandwich. Just be careful not to over-toast it, or it will become dry and hard.
- Serve the sandwich immediately after it's made. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
The Vegemite sandwich is a simple but delicious sandwich that is enjoyed by people of all ages in Australia. It's a quick and easy meal to make, and it's perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With its unique flavor, the Vegemite sandwich is a true Aussie icon.
