Aha, still have the box in my trembling hands, ingredients are:

Salt
Wheat Flour
Maize Starch
Flavour Enhancers 621 627
Colour 150c
Yeast Extract
Vegetable Oil
Flavourings (including Beef Flavour)
Autolysed Yeast Extract
Sugar
Lactic Acid
Onion Powder
Mineral Salt 508

Now you'd think that Beef Flavour would give the game away but it then goes on to say:

Contains wheat, gluten, suitable for vegetarians.

Also the foil from each cube can be recycled :lol:

Re: Missing things from home
 

I'm quite used to beef flavour - walkers beef and onion crisps were always vegetarian :lol: - just never oxo. Where are you buying those, as it would be helpful when I have family here :)

Re: Missing things from home
 

Just Coles / BILO

Actually if Aldi ever get them in as a special item when they do a UK promotion (Lyles Golden Syrup, etc,) I wouldn't mind betting they'll import directly and hopefully get the pukka version ... that would be nice.

Sorry to tease, I realise you don't have Aldi in Adelaide yet... coming soon I hope.

Re: Missing things from home
 

LOL - we've only been here a few months, and wouldn't have thought to check oxo for being meat free. Bought a rather expensive vegetable stock as I do like a cooked dinner sometimes, and always handy in recipes.

Thanks for the info :)

Down to personal taste buds though! I don't like the baked Walkers, has to. E the originals, and there are times when I would kill for a lacket of their S & V! Same with Twiglets!! :demon:

Young spark misses prawn cocktail crisps, pringles and skips - hasn't found that flavour anywhere :(

Re: Missing things from home
 

Haven't found Prawn Cocktail flavour here in 10 years outside of the occasional pack in a British shop. Aus just doesn't do them :(

Try http://www.treatsfromhome.com.au/. - i've used them a lot :)

Re: Missing things from home
 

Thanks for that Polly :)

His big sis is bringing him Pringles at Xmas as part of his pressie - my pressie is getting to see my Haribo :)

Re: Missing things from home
 

Sounds revolting- and having gluten, I can't use it anyway. I use a good quality vegetable stock (liquid) or make my own gravy from the meat juices when we have a roast.

Re: Missing things from home
 

:ohmy: Aussies are missing out. So is the Brit who hasn't decided to market them yet. What about Worcestershire sauce, dare I ask??

Re: Missing things from home
 

You can get the sauce :thumbup: can't get the sauce flavoured crisps though :thumbdown:

Re: Missing things from home
 

:( I may distribute them to various friends around the country before I leave so I have a stash in each major city. haha!

(Also, too much time in the 5 word story - I just spent far too long thinking about how to condense that into 5 words before realising I didn't have to!!!) :o

Re: Missing things from home
 

:rofl:
Excellent idea, send boxes everywhere so you have a stash waiting......if you like you can send them all via Brisbane, I promise to pass them on to the other cities, honest......

:scarper:

Re: Missing things from home
 

Oh yes sure thing - PM me your address and I'll send them straight away.

Also, if you say gullible really slowly it sounds like 'worcestershire sauce crisps' you know!:nod:

You can't fool some people can you :(
