Not our name, but our passion
Vegemite is a thick, dark brown Australian food spread made from leftover brewers’ yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922. To Australian children this is the equivalent to peanut butter and jelly to American children. Alex and I like trying new foods so we ordered a bottle and tried it out.

If you have never had gelato Dolce Freddo in Newburyport is a great place to start. Similar to ice cream, gelato is made from a custard base of milk, cream, and sugar. The difference lies in the proportions of each with gelato having more milk (and less cream) compared to ice cream.
Many flavors to choose from
Alex approves
The Chicken Connection in Plaistow is one of several locations for this small chain. They are noted for their chicken fingers, fried chicken and side dishes but they also have ribs and BBQ. Their fried chicken is very good and Alex likes their fingers. The array of side dishes is also a highlight.

Sal’s Pizza in Derry is a pizza chain that was first established in 1990. I like their thin crust pizza and find this to be one of the best pizzas in our general area.
