Hi there,

Coles actually have a section of english products, they have things like weetabix because their weetbix (which is what they call it) is horrible and my husband wont eat it. you pay about $8 for it too, for a box of 24, you check the price of weetabix 24 pack next time your in tescos! anyway, they have other things like hp sauce! devon custard, colmans mustard, sticky toffee pudding in tins.......... so there is hope.
The one thing you need to be prepared for is the chocolate tastes horrible over here, they put a wax in it to stop it from melting ( i have a friend who is quite high up in cadburys) when ever friends or relatives have bought english chocolate out here it always melts and then goes a bit funny, its weird.just stock up on it!

Hi all, thanks for all your posts, i can't believe it not only can you get Marmite in Oz but Cadbury's chocolate! OMG, i thought i wouldn't be able to survive without that too!

Just a quick Marmite update

My husband spotted some in Coles supermarket although it is made by Sanitarium, but it is actually called Marmite. He hasn't tried it yet so not sure if it will taste the same.

He also thinks that the Cadbury's chocolate is sweeter here.

Regards
Karen (and Marmite loving husband)

Hi Kaz, thanks for that. Please keep me posted when your hubby does the Marmite test on the Sanitarium!

Oh and I could live with Cadbury's chocolate being sweeter!

For me Marmite's like baked beans and tomato ketchup - other's may imitate but none ever come close as the real deal (that goes quadruply for vegimate - blugh!)

heheh well I can't say that I miss Marmite (yuck!) but there are things from the US that I really miss now! I can say that culture shock has DEFINITELY hit!

It may say 'Cadbury's' on the label, but it doesn't taste the same

Funny to read this post.
Im an Aussie living in Dubai, and we get the terrible UK Cadbury's
Cadbury's Oz is definately sweeter, and creamier...its advertised as glass and a 1/2 milk in it......whereas we find the UK one so dry and crumbly !!!!
We have a friend visiting us from Oz at the moment, and he bought heaps of the "good stuff" with him !!!!!!!!!!!!!
