I'm going back for a holiday in October and I will stuff myself till I'm ill with tescos cheese and onion crisps!
I used to miss rowies but now a baker in Auckland makes them and he sends them up to me
managed to get a can in the lotto shop in town for around 3 bux, it was amazing but i could feel the migraine coming on as i drunk it so havnt bought any more, nice for a wee treat though now and again

thats really good, what shop is it from? The only alco pop that i have found was archers fruit frusions ( though called something different here) i got them in the liquor store in papamoa for around 12$ a 4 pack though i havnt seen it here and i loooove them. I will have to have a wee look around, cos im getting sick of wine and the southern comfort not as strong here so my long southern comforts not as good so dont really enjoy them ..i need a new drink me thinks lol

Yes we do. I think Marmite is packaged as Our Mate but as I'm firmly in the hate it camp, I'm not 100% sure.

Gin - we are fairly civilised out here you know
I have 3 litres of the stuff in my garage

There are three yeast extract products available here and I like them all. Marmite (NZ version of Marmite) MyMate (imported UK version) and Vegemite (Australian version).
It is not illegal to distill alcohol here so you can make loads of Gin.
