Cheesymite Scroll Story
Is this not golden perfection? I don't know about the non-Aussies out there, but this, to many of us, is the answer - vegemite, cheese and a roll all in one. They sell them at Baker's Delight and trust me, I delight in them.
When they first appeared, I was mildly horrified. In a "who would eat that?" kind of way. I don't even remember how I first tasted one, whether it was a sample on the counter or an eager friend egging me on, but I do know that I rapidly became addicted. To be clear, I don't eat white bread. Maybe once in a while, when I'm utterly bored or it's something truly fabulous. But this, I find hard to resist. I have to walk past the Baker's Delight booth and look the other way, so not as to be tempted by the savoury smell, calling out to me!
I am also very ashamed to say that while the Plumbaby was in utero, I could not keep track of how many I ate. Maybe it was something to do with needing all that Vitamin B. It is Vitamin B in Vegemite, isn't it? After I'd read aloud to Figster about all the wholegrain, organic nutritious food I should be eating, he'd come home and find crumpled Baker's Delight bags in the bin. Oh Internet, I am so ashamed. But if I can't confess to you, to whom can I? And anyway - they're really, really good.

I shall walk past our Bakers Delight today and check them out. Sometimes aI make little mini pinwheels with pastry, vegemite and cheese to serve with drinks.
Hi Glutton Rabbit - I didn't know about the zinc, but I suppose that makes sense! All the better for me!
And Barbara, it made me giggle to think of you checking out the vegemite scrolls! I am such a bad influence! Nevermind, I'll try to post about broccolli tomorrow!
think Plum Baby will definitely be a Happy Little Vegemite as bright as bright can be, with a kick start like that! :-)
I've never tried them; like you I don't tend to eat white bread, especially white bread from big bakery chains, but I have tried some of their croissants once, which were quite good, so I might have to give this a whirl!
Ooooh...
I used to eat these every Saturday morning, when I was working opposite said bakery. Great hangover cure!
Now, working in Thailand, I drop by your & other's blogs to remember Melbourne food. Thank-you for the perfect homesickness indulgence today.
these were so good ... lived in melbourne several months and ate these beautiful rolls! probably hopeless to try tracking them down in the states.
