Oh, lovely. Oh, I love this. I love everything here. Have you got Bali Maloo relish? Oh, Bali Maloo and a bit of Well, listen. And I mean obviously this is Vegemite toast.
Speaker A
As rich in flavor as this is, it's for the more delicate palette than this. I feel like this is a bit more working class than what we're looking at here. But I love Is it Vegemite or Marmite? I always
Speaker A
get the mix up. Vegemite Australian. Yeah, Vegemite. I love Vegemite. You know the trick, if I may add, slice of cheese with your Vegemite.

Speaker A
100%. Draw. Are you ready? Wow. Throw this curry this time of the day. Absolute breakfast time. This is amazing.
Speaker A
So, curry chips. I know all about this and I absolutely approve. Yummy. But that's the chicken salt.
Speaker A
You do not have chicken salt. Never heard of it. Never knew there was such a thing. 49 time in Australia was wasted. Um, so we put chicken salt like when you get fish and chips in Australia.
