The usual stuff is made in Toronto, and that's the stuff to avoid! This was the real McCoy!!!

My brtohers have bceome marmite walkers crips addicts.... but they only get them when we come to visit... they were astounded how muc like marmite they tasted when I brought the first lot over with me 2 years ago... caused no end of jealousy & rivalry between my marmite loving brothers (hate the stuff myself) so couple of months back when I visited I brought enough 'multi-pack's' to accomodate all of them... used that space/weight to bring back Kradt Dinner macaroni & cheeese... probably the equivalent to 'pot noodles' for Brits... even though Lipton cuppa noodle's is probably a very close alternative *LOL*

A favourite with my wife and I, we'll be having some with Christmas dinner.
The kids won't touch 'em. Not sure why?
