Marmite or Our Mate - Anyone Know a Good Supplier?

Vertigo6 on 06/09/2020 - 20:51

My wife’s getting Marmite withdrawal (she won’t touch Vegemite, even though it’s obviously superior!). Both Coles and Woolworths are out of it in Melbourne. I could get it from Amazon but it’s at extortionate prices, so I thought id check on here first.

Anyone had any luck getting it locally?

Cheers

Sri Lankans love their Marmite and I've seen many Sri Lankan shops (and there are many in Melbourne) carry it. It's the same UK made product but in Sri Lanka localised packaging.

BTW, I assumed you were referring to the original British Marmite made by Unilever and not the NZ version made by Sanitarium.

  Brilliant. I’ll check out the local Sri Lankan spice shop. And yes, you assumed right!
  
  Thanks

  Agree totally. I much prefer Promite.
  
  OP, perhaps get her some to try.

    Thanks for the suggestion but there’s NO WAY she’ll try anything else!

      That's a shame, Promite is Aus made I believe where as Marmite is made overseas. Also it tastes nothing like Vegemite.
      
      Anyhow Marmite is available at Coles and Woolies in Canberra. eg.

        @revheadgl: The 'Marmite' sold at Coleworths is made by Sanitarium and is not the same recipe. Years ago the Marmite name had been sold to Sanitarium to produce a spread and sell.
        The original Marmite is sold under the brand name Our Mate in AU/NZ

Just create a fake news article saying that Marmite is proven to be responsible for making wives fat and ugly.

Have you tried Boral?

Have you found Our Mate? I'm yearning for it too.
I've bought some Mighty Mite but the flavour's not quite right and it makes my toast soggy.
I've read about the yeast shortage disrupting production in the UK.

  Yes! Someone on here suggested Sri Lankan spice shops and Bingo! The jars even come in their own box!

I can't find any, anywhere in Sydney. All the brit shops and sri lankan shops I've tried are sold out.

I'm going to have a crack at making some. Here's one idea: https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/homemade-marmite-r…

  OMG! Let us know how it turns out!

    Btw. It appears to be back in some Woolworths stores, at least in Melbourne
