VEGEMITE SANDWICH TRADIONAL (VEGGIE SANGER)
I can't believe a traditional "Veggie Sanger" has not been posted! "No Worries Mate"................ I am here to fix that! Vegemite sandwiches are terrific for school lunches, and used to be an Aussie Tradition, not so long ago but not so sure about now. Vegemite is high in Vitamin B .....but it is quite salty so it probably not considered a health food as such because of the saltiness. But they do not go soggy like a lot of sandwich's do at school! A Vegemite sandwich is a quick and easy snack for both kids and adults. All you will need is bread and butter or margarine .......and of course that jar of black gold "Vegemite! " Of course you can add things if you prefer, like cheese or avocado! Even use crumpets instead of bread, for an amazing snack. Come be an "Happy Little Vegemite!"

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, chives, shallot and lemon zest.
- Lay the bread slices out on a clean work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter over each slice of bread. Trim the cucumber slices so that they are the length of the bread slices. (Save the scraps for salads.) Lay 4 pieces of cucumber across 1 slice of buttered bread--it is okay if the cucumbers overlap. Repeat on 5 more slices of bread. Season the top of the cucumbers lightly with salt. Next, add a single layer of radishes over the cucumbers, about 12 rounds per slice of bread.
- Toss the frisee with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the frisee evenly over the radishes. Top the frisee with the remaining 6 slices buttered bread. Cut each sandwich into thirds with a serrated knife to make small rectangles. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: For a classic Vegemite and cucumber sandwich, use a soft white bread. However, you can also use other types of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or rye.
- Use fresh, crisp cucumbers: The cucumbers should be firm and have a deep green color. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have soft spots.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them to absorb the Vegemite and add a refreshing crunch to the sandwich.
- Spread the Vegemite evenly: Use a butter knife or spoon to spread the Vegemite evenly over the bread. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of Vegemite, as it is the star of the show!
- Add the cucumbers: Place the cucumber slices on top of the Vegemite. You can arrange them in a single layer or overlap them slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper: Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. This will help to enhance the flavors of the Vegemite and cucumber.
- Top with the other slice of bread: Place the other slice of bread on top of the cucumbers. Press down gently to ensure that the sandwich is evenly filled.
- Cut the sandwich in half: Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich in half. This will make it easier to eat.
- Serve immediately: Vegemite and cucumber sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them immediately after making them.
