    Big convo at my husband’s work yesterday. A lady came in to the tearoom with a Vegemite and lettuce sandwich for lunch. Which the aussies declared “I’ve never heard of that”.

    So it prompted my husband to ask me if I’d ever had this. “Shit yeah. It was mother’s favourite lunch to make for us. I never liked it because after 5 hours in a hot school bag the lettuce was pretty sad”.

    He can gleefully skip into the tearoom now and announce that it is indeed a thing because his wife said so. 😂

      Hrmm… That’s the first I’ve heard of doing that.

      Wouldn’t the salt in the vegemite draw moisture from the lettuce into the bread leaving a unrecognisable puddle?

        Not a puddle but it did make the lettuce go old and limp if left to long. I would imagine if freshly made and eaten straight away it would be different but I don’t want to.
