Where’s the bloody Vegemite in CM?

[Kunjay]

Haven’t seen it on the shelves for months. The last I saw was a lone jar at Rimping with the price jacked up by 100baht. 

 

Theres something going on and on and it’s not good, they seem to have replaced Gods on spread with an inferior paste called Marmite. 

 

Does anyone one know why Rimping and Tops no longer sell Vegemite?

Last time I was in Kasem store, they had both Marmite and Vegemite but that was a few weeks ago.

May i recommend Heinz ketchup, an all-American product but a world-wide eating pleasure in place of those foul, smelly and way too salty, sticky pastes?

[VillageIdiot]

It's hard to find now.

Back in the days when Thai farmers used it to grease the wheels of their oxcarts it was readily available everywhere.

At 350baht it must be superior.

I find them equally disgusting. Definitely an aquired taste.

[Lizard2010]

Aussie products are just as good other products that are made

It all about personal and your taste buds

As far as axle grease  i dont think it would work different formula

 

[tagalong]

Scottiejohn....Your taste buds are in your rear....That is why you love Marmite.....

[Dmaxdan]

Tops online sell vegemite at 169 baht for a 220g jar. And if you buy 7 of more jars you then qualify for free delivery.....!

There you go...

I think I saw it at Kasem, but that was the vegan variety, not sure they have the "bloody" variety you seek.

Which one is the "bloody" variety ?? Marmite contains no meat products, not sure about that Aussie variety !!

Nobody has mentioned the third one in the trio yet............

Because Marmite is far superior to that antipodean vegetable crap. Eat Marmite and be a man.

Never mind the third one . A m8 called Ron brought me back a jar of Mightymite about a month ago and 2 days ago a m8 called Bruce brought me back a jar of Promite .

He also brought over a bottle of Coopers Sparkling Ale , and Parmesan cheese ..but I digest.

That is something I miss being here. Going to bed with a warm Brandy . I think that was her name .......Randy Brandy .

[weegee]

Vegemite is a "Real Mans Spread"....why?...because it's made from leftover stuff when they make Beer...

Thats why every Beer Drinker loves it.......and Aussies are pisspots...

 

[Elfin]

I used to get mine at Rinping but I bought my last jar at Big C

Check out the sludge traps at the local abattoir. It's free. Tastes the same.

I used to bring teabags back from the UK or Australia on my travels (and Marmite and Vegemite, but lets not go there). Because tea is indeed more expensive here. Plus it's not easy to find anything other than Liptons, which is the tea equivalent of McDonalds - universally available but crap. Thais just do not drink tea.

But Eureka! I'd been wanting to try Barry's tea for ages (note my name) and recently decided to order some on-line, especially as they had a limited edition that included a nice tin with 'my' name on. And it is so strong that I can use a bag twice, maybe more but I don't, and even with postage that makes the superior tea half the price of Liptons.
