Vegemite

You can get this at Save On Foods, but its bloody expensive. Still, if you want that taste of home, and the next care package is a while away, it could be worth the stretch.

Re: Vegemite

I also saw it (I think) at Nesters on Nelson St Downtown. Yes, expensive! But at least it's not like the marmite that tastes totally different (so I've been told!!!!)

I'm lucky I get mine in tiny little spread packs from Air NZ or Air Canada when they come from OZ smile  Good knowing people at the airport!!!

Re: Vegemite

Is the new Vegemite abomination (which is actually kind of tasty) iSnack 2.0 available there yet? Or Cheesymite, whatever they're calling it now. It'll always be iSnack 2.0 to Australia because it was such an embarrassment.

Some of you might not have got to taste that yet? I'll make sure to bring some!!

Re: Vegemite

Nope, it hasn't surfaced here yet... interested to try it, but I'd rather the real Milo please stand up, rather than the Abominable Vegemite wink

Re: Vegemite

YAY I am so glad for this thread. In a crazy tired rush yesterday morning I left my Jar of Vegemite in my  carry on bag instead of putting it in my luggage, needless to say I nearly cried when I went through security at Toronto airport and they made me hand it over. Mind you the security guard was pretty confused as to what it was and why I was so upset over giving up my jar of (in his words) "whatever this is it smells bad anyway".

Re: Vegemite

So did you get some more Vegemite Chooky? Where are you now?

Security guard probably thought it was more of a security threat from the unknown substance inside...!

Re: Vegemite

No Vegimite yet - I will go on a mission this weekend when I have a little more time

I did check out the nesters on nelson near the samesum - no luck. i know the nesters at whistler sells it but thats way to far.

BTW I'm back in Van now for at least the rest of summer so have just started job hunting and looking for somewhere to live.

Re: Vegemite

You could try walking over to the IGA that's on Robson and... Richards? They might have it there. Alternatively I think they've got it at Save On Foods just on the other side of Cambie St bridge.

That Nesters is a bit up and down in its stocking... Nesters in general are a pack'o'pirates - I used to live just across the street from that one smile

Re: Vegemite

Well I found the Vegemite at the IGA near the corner of Smite and Burrard St downtown. I paid $7.99 for it but i just couldn't wait for it to be sent and there isn't much else i need from home right now so figure its a bit of a waste getting just a jar of vegemite posted.

Re: Vegemite

There's vegemite at the Market Place supermarket near Holdom Station out in Burnaby. Pretty sure they don't know what it is though, as I found it in the cookery section rather than the spreads heh.
