This post needs a warning label.

Just today we were bemoaning the fact that the Indian stores around here doesn't seem to stock Marmite/Vegemite. We know it by the first name of course, but we'd even put up with Australian affectations in our quest ;-)

Not that Marmite is really used in India, of course, (I would have to search for a "Customs Notified" store there if I wanted it), it is just that most Indian stores end up with a "British" section too. And while the prices are obviously inflated in the Indian stores, they're not a patch on those in the British stores here!

It's times like this that I almost wish I was back in Illinois, with the potential for a trip to Devon Street to stock up on some essentials :-)

PS: There are a few other of this yeast extract variants, some meat based. Fray Bentos comes to mind. It has a picture of a cow on the bottle. The 4yo still calls Marmite "koei" (cow)

Hmm, and if I bother to read over what I have written *before* I hit post I might even be able to fix a few errors of concord and the like. Who knows, I might even stop run-on sentences and punctuate properly.
