Default Can you get Marmite in Canada?

Hi, I'm moving to Winnipeg next month. Just had some cheesey marmite toast,
and it got me thinking! Can you get Marmite in Canada?

As tobapaul said, the answer is yes.

Marmite has its very own Wiki.

Other British goods (or their equivalents) are covered in the Wiki called Shopping.

Yes, I was going to say we should have a big heading at the top of the page "Before you ask - yes you can buy Marmite in Canada!"

But it's VERY EXPENSIVE in comparison to the UK. By the way, Colemans English mustard doesn't have sell by dates on the jars, one I had was brown instead of yellow and tasted like cardboard with bits of carpet and wood chippings then covered in cat's pee. Come to think of it I haven't checked for sell by dates on Marmite either...hang on...nope they don't.

Marmite has a "best before" date. We just opened a jar marked "best before Feb 06".

We did a taste test against a newer jar, no obvious difference. Within the past five years I opened a jar that had a promotion on the top for a long playing record, we ate the contents of that one without it obviously worsening our conditions.

Why would you need a "best before" date on a jar of marmite? It doesn't last a month in this house
