The Great Marmite Debate

Just another small note to reiterate a point....

Marmite IS NOT better than Vegemite. After being convinced to taste "real" Marmite (apparently the stuff you get in Australia isn't the same), I am still not convinced. Whilst I didn't feel the need to spit it out, it is in no way better than good ol' Vegemite....not least because of the weird honey like consistency....ewww!

Happy Little Vegemite

With 4 weeks to go until we travel to London the most important task of all is complete. Shipping some Aussie foodstuffs! I, of course, would be lost without my favourite hot drink of Milo in the evenings. Apparently the UK version is made in Kenya and nothing like the original...so to be sure 2 x 1kg tins have gone in! To add to this are Cherry Ripes (fab chocolate bar with cherry and coconut filling covered in dark chocolate), Mint Slice biscuits (fab chocolate biscuit with mint filling covered in dark chocolate....beginning to see a pattern?), Twisties, Butter Menthols, Rosella mustard pickles along with orders from my brother and some Aussie friends in the UK.

Oh and of course the obligatory giant jar of Vegemite which I know you can get in the UK but I feel so much more comfortable knowing it's on it's way :) And no, Marmite is still not and will never be as good!!
