I always assumed the only way to get it was to go to a bread shop in Brussels and say, “Do you speak-a my language?” to the muscle-bound 6’4" guy. ---

[QUOTE=Charger] I always assumed the only way to get it was to go to a bread shop in Brussels and say, “Do you speak-a my language?” to the muscle-bound 6’4" guy. [/QUOTE] Yeah, but then you’re limiting your options and will only get it in sandwich form. ---

[QUOTE=C3] Now, if we can figure out how to get some Tooheys, my husband will be happy. They had it at Outback when we went a few months ago, but have since stopped carrying it. [/QUOTE] Luckily, unlike vegemite, crap beer gets made in the US as well as Australia. ---

Two jars just ordered from [everythingaustralian.com](http://everythingaustralian.com). Thanks **Monkey** and **Qadgop** , and everyone else who understands the need for vegemite. [QUOTE=silenus] You won’t need any more after I’ve reported you to Child Protective Services! :eek: [/QUOTE] Isn’t that taking the whole “Mandated Reporter” business a little too far? My 3 year old is the adventure eater in the house. The first time she asked for a bite of my vegemite onion bagel, I had a napkin all ready for her to spit it out. Amazingly, she ate the whole thing and asked for more. Of course, she also likes Tabasco in her scrambled eggs, horseradish on her baloney, and will eat sardines with hot peppers with me on occasion. She even ate the [Spotted Dog](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=408283) we made earlier this year. ---

Yes, but those are all **Good Foods**. Vegemite is just…nasty. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] Did you try the Kiwi version of Marmite? It’s _sweet_! Even the memory of it makes me gag. [/QUOTE] **jjimm** , I usually value your opinions, and I was disappointed that your praise of Marmite meant that I was going to have to kill you. But I was wrong. Y’see, I’ve only tried the Kiwi version. It’s shit. I thought British Marmite was like that too. Sorry good sir. As you were. I will have to try and source some UK stuff. ---

Oh wait, it was **QtM** that praised Marmite. Sorry. So, anywhere in Sydney I can buy UK Marmite, and not that black caramel goo the Newzilders use for diabetes on toast? ---

[QUOTE=muldoonthief] Last Saturday, I scraped the last morsel of salty goodness from my final jar of Vegemite, and reluctantly shared it with my 3 year old daughter. I’ve never tried to buy it here in the US - I’ve always had luck with friends/coworkers heading to Australia and willing to bring back a few jars. Does anyone know of an online site that has Vegemite and reasonable shipping costs in/to the US? All the US based sites seem to be out of stock (possibly due to the whole FDA/folate flap last year), and the Australian/European sites charge big bucks ($30-50) for shipping. I like Vegemite, but not that much. [/QUOTE] I will post you some if you give me your postal address 🙂 I do it often for others 🙂 - a work address or po box is fine. i’m not a stalker, just a vegemite ambassador. ---

**Cicero & threnodyangelfire** , thank you very much for your kind offers. I’ve already ordered some however, and the UPS website tells me I’ll receive it tomorrow. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/online-source-for-vegemite/422911.md?page=1)
