How could you say such a thing!
I'm sitting here now with a filter coffee and a promite doorstep and life is good!

BTW, I haven't seen Marmite in Oz yet - does anyone know if you need to go to English shops to get it in Oz?

Wow - sounds amazing.
However, try it with Vegemite and you'll ruin the flavour so watch out once you arrive! Vegemite has a sour taste so it could totally change the flavour.

It is lovely - have to find some Marmite in Mel - or I'll have to bring some.

In five months of searching, I came up empty.....

I think it's tasty - but that's because I lived in Holland for years before moving to Oz

Did you try the chips with mayo and/or sate sauce?

Did you eat the big pancakes (with spek cheese & syrup). I just had sultanas but my friends invariably had something weird on their pancakes. What about poffertjes?

I suppose I should mention promite and vegemite in this thread....don't have these on any of above mentioned products
