Yep, Woolies milk arrowroot biscuits do the trick. Now where can I get proper mayonnaise without having to pay a fortune? The stuff here is more like salad cream.

It's been a while since we had a mayonnaise thread.

Buy any mayo that has 'whole egg' on the label. Praise do one which is not too bad. S&W mayo is good. Best Foods mayo is Hellmans. I've also had a Paul Newman one which was very nice.

All these are in Coles and/or Woollies. I bought a giant jar of S&W mayo the other day (on special in Coles) for about $6.

Look online for your nearest Treats From Home or The British Lolly Shop.

The "British Lolly Shop" doesn't list them but "Treats From Home" does. Thanks.

I love Hellmans, but haven't seen a cheap one yet. Might have to make my own.

I don't think I will ever come to miss rich tea, but after our all too brief holiday in Australia in August I am desperate to find Chedz over here in UK!!! I love them and will be bringing tons back next summer!

You can usually get Hellmans in Coles. You can also get Best Foods Mayo in most supermarkets which is the same thing apparently but made in Canada.

I'm not sure if I remember Rich Tea correctly but I thought Marie was the closest thing but can see that they might have been closer to Arrowroot.

Marmite: The Australian actual equivalent, available in Supermarkets, is called "Our Mate", made in UK, but named differently due to an Australian product also called Marmite, but not tasting the same.

Great thanks for this. Any idea which supermarkets as I haven't seen it in Woolies or Coles but may be I have been looking in the wrong place. Sometimes items are illogically shelved here.:confused:

Did find 3 jars of Branston pickle last week though - cheese just isn't the same without it.:thumbup:
