Thanks for the link. It's about time that USians had "proper" food
available. The bloke who trims the remains of my hair has relatives in
Transpondia, and he seems to spend his whole holiday over there in the
kitchen, cooking enough real food to fill their freezer so that they'll
be OK until his next visit.

Fortunately World Market now stocks a number of useful British items.
So I needn't forgo PG Tips, or Typhoo. I can make birds custard for
my American apple pie. Branston Pickle is available to give my salads
a slight UK touch. Walker Shortbread and McVities Biscuits Biscuits
(now there is an ambiguous word) are occasional treats.

You can get Vegimite in the UK now too.

What's with the "now"? I've been buying it from Tesco for at least 10
years. Vegemite with an 'e' in the middle I mean.

I was able to buy Vegemite from my local Tesco in 1988.

Returned to Oz in 87 - they were a tad slow to respond to the market!!

sigh Canada's Labelling Police apparently are responsible for the
disappearance of that Most Important Aussie treat from supermarket
shelves over the last year or so.

I have stumbled on a Indo-Fijian food store in the deep Vancouver
suburbs that brings Vegemite in through a back door, but they've
stopped importing the 454g jars and I'm left with grabbing 225g or in
a pinch the tiny 115g jars whch last only a few days...
