A few years back I was in Melborne, Brisbane, and Sidney for a couple of weeks on a business trip. I took some grits along as a cultural exchange because I knew I was going to be introduced to Vegemite. Fixed them for everyone to try and nobody there understood them either. Of course salty tasting toast in the morning instead of jelly or jam was a little different for me too. Ain't it great to experience different cultures!
