MARMITE

I knew that would attract the attention of Marmite lovers :) My 9yr old daughter loves the stuff and I buy the occasional small jar here which is expensive. The rellies are coming over next month - can they bring it over in their suitcase? Also DECENT GRAVY GRANULES (the ones that don't end up in a blob at the bottom of the jug) - can they bring these too!? Thanx :D

I may be shot down in flames here, but isnt "Our Mate" which they sell in Countdown here in Chch English Marmite exported under a different name (rather than that god awful stuff they call Marmite).

Yukk, don't buy locally produced Marmite :thumbdown:
To avoid confusion, our local P&S have British imported Marmite with the labels covered :-)

Sure is which, but as Jo_paul says it is expensive and a very small jar. You can get huge jars in the UK :D

The love or hate it persona runs to extremes!
People love it enough to import the stuff.

we have used these Bisto (onion) gravy granues from our P&S . theyre actually in a tin, rather than the cardboard and plastic cannister used in UK, and taste and work just fine
