literally another aussie in london

Taste this, it’s OZtrayan

Australians like watching people eat vegemite.

We know most of you will hate it (although I have convinced a guide that it is great of recent times), but we like to see your face as you eat it.

Once I was in Texas, actually Colorado, but it felt like Texas, and this dickhead was going on and on about how their chilli was too hot for anyone, and then laughed when some of us tried to eat it.

So I got out the Vegemite, and convinced the hillbilly that a spoon full of vegemite is normal, he shut up for a while after that.

But I have moved on from Vegemite now, I have a new ozstryan taste sensation for the English, Bundaberg Rum, or bundy rum as the devotees call it.

It’s lighter fluid.

Undrinkable crap.

But every now and then you see a bar that has it.

The hard part is keeping a straight face while you order it, and a bourbon for yourself and then watching them drink it.

So far I have seen no one drink more than a sip without an expression of repulsion on their face.

When people ask who drinks this, I assure them it’s mostly New Texans (Queenslanders) and bogans (chavs).

That is when they put the drink down.

I can’t fully explain the taste of Bundy rum, but I suggest you find an aussie bar and try a double.
