Marmite in Sydney
 

Help, anyone know where I can hunt down marmite in Sydney. My supply has run out and i'm getting the sweats! Veggiemite just doesn't cut it! :scared: :eek:

Re: Marmite in Sydney
 

I was told there was a shop in Kiama that sells it.

There is a shop in Darling Harbour shopping centre that has lots of British things, and in the Macquarie Centre, but I have never actully seen Marmite there.

My daughter smashed a whole big jar of it the other week!!! Luckily I have a back-up and I'm off the the UK in a few weeks anyway!!!!

Where have you tried looking? Underground, overground..
I discovered and bought it in the Kirribilli Deli, until we moved. Will be needing to restock soon.
Reportedly also seen at the rocks

there's a shop in the Sky Gardens Mall on the pedestrianised bit of Pitt St pretty much opposite where virgin or hmv shop is. all manner of UK goodies to be had in there.

hi womblefox
I know what you mean, vegimite tasts ike soap. I have been in oz 12 years now and it still tasts the same. i have tried every concevable type of spread and its all crap. but fear not i have some good news, the South Africans are as keen on marmite as us brits and import it over here. it takes a bit of finding and you have to search out the delis. i have found one here in Melbourn already. i know of one on the gold coast but not in sydney i'm afraid. there was a company that was importing it from the uk but they had to remove the label somthing about kraft making an issue of it. still it is out there you just need to find that deli. the more italian , greek style the better or s African. if you know any one going to uk get them to get you the catering tub it last and last and lasts, happy hunting

I will have to hunt around, someone has told me that pyrmont market has a selection sometimes on saturdays..

As for the catering tubs I have been through 3 of them already, been here since Feb. I consume it in vast amounts. mmm...

I suppose the Marmite (by Sanitarium) they sell in Woolworths is different to the stuff in the black pot with yellow label?? The pot looks different but is the stuff inside the same?

We have actually moved on to Vegemite - part of our integration program :D

Re: Marmite in Sydney
 

We managed to find a new source without much trouble, so no need to panic.
Moved from Kirribilli a few weeks ago, to Queenscliff. The Four Olives Deli in Manly has real Marmite from the UK on the shelf. Woohoo. $7+ for a ordinary sized jar.
I should have kept that a secret, now there'll be none left for me next time.

Re: Marmite in Sydney
 

I buy mine at Woolwoth's supermarket. Have had no trouble finding it in Sydney supermarkets in the last 38years!

Re: Marmite in Sydney
 

We are in Melbourne but have found that

a) vegemite doesn't taste anything like marmite
b) marnite (by sanitarium) is ok but doesn't taste like Uk marmite
c) Promite tastes like complete crap

BUT

c) Mightymite tastes very similar to UK marmite.

As you can see we have spent a lot of time (and trips to the supermarket) to find this out :)

Re: Marmite in Sydney
 

*Real* UK Marmite? - in Melbourne? OOOOOoooh please tell me where I can get some, then I can make MarkMywords a very happy man (*and* give him some Marmite, ho ho!).

Have wheels, will travel the whole Melbourne Metro area, just to keep my man happy with supplies of his fave UK Marmite....... ;)

Cheers,
Anya.

Hi Anya
just so you can make your man happy, and a great peril to myself (finding that they have sold out and ca'nt get any more and anya from melbourn has bought all stocks.



the address is .................................................. ..............................
the deli at Endovoure Hills shopping centre, just in front of bilo. they sell lots of other english stuff along with other european goodies. not a bad shopping centre either. have fun and i hope he's grateful
shot in the foot (literally) :)

Re: Marmite in Sydney
 

Brill, many thanks, mate. I promise to leave some for you! And if you spot a guy walking round Melbourne with a big grin on his face, it's my man (MarkMyWords) :)

Cheers,
Anya.
