no don't think it has reached the otherside of the world yet, you have to make your own.

Not sure where you are heading for ironman but when we visited my family in Perth last April there was 'British' sweetshops all over the place, i even found some old sweets i hadnt seen since i was a kid here in Uk!!

Heinz ketchup is readily available (including the organic version) as well as many other brands. I don't know about midget gems, but I'm sure there is an alternative if they are not here.

No Ketchup hasn't made it - they call it Heinz Tomato Sauce. I still call it ketchup.

I have yet to see midget gems...then again i have not been looking for them....it may be my new mission.

They do Heinz tomato sause and Heinz Ketchup, they are 2 comletely different things

Both can be bought in most normal supermarket.

Are midget Gems the same as Iced Gems, if so I can get them in the local supa valu in the international foods section

Since we're on the topic, what's the difference between the "normal" Heinz ketchup (the kind with the white label) and the Heinz 'Big Red' ketchup they also sell here? I spent hours in the supermarket the other day trying to work it out...

I'm not sure what makes them different, My hubby likes the Big red as it is a tomato sause and not a ketchup, personally I think the tomato sause tastes like the cheap stuff you get back in the UK in some greasy spoon cafe.

Most Aussies will have Sauce (rosella is very popular)

Personally I preffer the Ketchup but I was brought up on Ketchup so I guess that's why.

Big Red has less fat, other than that not too sure. I actually prefer Big Red soup to the normal one now.

Thank you for the info on the tomato sauce and ketchup, as it has been a standing joke in out family for about 20 years, that if I (as main stocker of cupboards) let the house run out of tomato sauce that my other half would sue for divorce. It has happeded twice though disaster has been averted. (have been tempted to throw away the full bottle occassionally) That aside it has been interesting to see how and what info people have been exchaning, about ketchup and on other shopping related threads.
