Going to crave Marmite like there's no tomorrow!!!

[scottishcelts]

Hi all, i'm sorry and don't want to sound like a whingeing pom but it's only just came to me that i don't know how on Earth i'm going to survive without Marmite (i know pathetic isn't it). So i decided to buy and try out Vegemite - and i'm sorry Australia but it just doesn't taste as nice as Marmite.

I'm pretty sure you can't get Marmite in Oz (Well not just yet) until i arrive that is; i'm going to have so do something about that one - unless someone else has tried and failed - if so i would like to hear all about it! :

Yuck! I hate the stuff but my husband loves it. We haven't found it yet out here but since we are in a regional town that doesn't always mean anything.

Good luck on your search,
Karen

Hey Kaz, you haven't lived yet if you don't eat Marmite!

Anyway if your hubby does come across the stuff keep me posted, i'm on a mission now!

There's a show on over here on the Bravo cable channel called Top Chef. One of the contestants in this new series is a Kiwi of impeccable taste; one of his secret ingredients he was allowed to use was Marmite which he used in a recipe (can't remember what) for which he got a commendation for!

WooHoo!

Just a thought ;
As marmite has been mentioned lots of times on a product you cant get over there , why not speak with the Marmite manufacturers / distributors and start importing the stuff . double the price and sell loads then retire early

You're on your own there....awful stuff!

Just checked Coles online website and you can get marmite at $3.08 for a 250g jar (made my Sanitarium).

You may be in luck! East of Brisbane is Birkdale (approx. 30KM). There you'll find a store called Britain on the Bayside which looks like they sell the good stuff

They have an email address which you may want to use to see what they've got there.

Good luck

Or here even..... Scottish Products, Scottish Food and Drink, Haggis - Highland Fling Products

I was craving several food items when I came out to the US - right up until I came across the wackiest weirdest supermarket around - Jungle Jims (the man's even setting up his own monorail for heavens sakes!) - and there I spotted an aisle with Marmite, Heinz Baked Beans, Robertsons Marmalade and of course to cap it off, numerous varieties of Cadbury's chocolate.

Heaven!

I wish you as much luck and blessings in locating a similar slice of home in Brisbane as I did here in the US!

I wouldn't worry too much. I've moved all over the globe and it's basically impossible to NOT find what you crave. There's usually and international supermarket somewhere, sometimes they store it in the "exotic" () section of a regular supermarket, and otherwise there's always the internet! Mind though that you might have to order it way before you're running low as it might take some time to get to you. Since it's a product in a jar and in no need of cooling till opened ( I'm assuming here, i don't touch the stuff!), it shouldn't be a problem. Me however.... i'm gonna have to live without my Frikandellen during my stay in OZ. The chance of me buying it there is slim to none, and since it's frozen it won't be a brilliant idea asking friends/family to bring it with them on the 24 flight.... Heck I even if they could i doubt they'll be allowed to bring it into the country! "Miss/Sir, what's in this?" ... "eeeh...dunno, it's a mystery to everyone!". sigh...

Speaking of frozen foods i crave... I want Eggo's!
