white sauce? Bread sauce? FGS it takes minutes to make from scratch something much nicer than you could possibly get out of a packet.

You can buy suet here. And instant oat cereal has acres of shelfspace in every supermarket and countless different flavours.

Oh, and please don't shout.

Just out of interest - where is it that you have found suet? I have looked and not found any, but could be looking in all the wrong places.

Totally agree about the white and bread sauces though - packet ones are just NASTY and they only take a couple of minutes to make from scratch.

The instant oat cereal is not the same here as ready brek,beacause ready brek is a fine porridge oats.My 2 young children only like the fine porridge oats,instead of the standard oats which are available here.So when friends and family come over,they bring ready brek and large jars of marmite with them.

Marmite's fine - don't try Bovril (at least, don't declare it) it's made from mad cows you know!

Plenty of oatmeal cereals on the supermarket shelves in my experience - even a Maple Syrup flavoured one (can only have sold to us tourists...)

Why this constant comparison between Marmite and Bovril? They are two completely different things, made from entirely different raw materials and used in different ways.

Last year alone they smuggled 815 tons of the stuff (through Bolivia then onto the US then across the US border into Canada)

Just to warn you though, Colombian Marmite can be as much as 100% pure so go easy and spread it very very thinly because if you OD on this stuff it can be lethal ;)

P.S. the DEA have been cracking down on Marmite dealers and if caught with more than 15ml you could spend the rest of your life in Prison !

My advice is "just say no" !
