Yes, but better!
I haven't found it yet; if I know anyone going to England, I always ask them to bring a few jars back. I was told in DF, there is a deli on the lateral of Circuito Interior in the colonia Anzures that sells it but I've never checked. |

Oh you poor misguided fellow!  Everyone knows that Vegemite is the one and only!
Anyone else hear that Paddington Bear is advertising Marmite these days?  Worlds colliding!
You can order Australian food care packages in the US, maybe you could get a British care package shipped from there? I know you can buy HP Sauce on Amazon, but they won't ship it to Colombia.  |

Well, they say you either love it or you hate it. Mmm... tea. Maybe Digestives are easier to get. |

| If it's not off topic - extranjero spreads for bread - is Skippy Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter, or the equivalent, still only available at specialty shops in Mexico? |

| HP Sauce is in Mega (Pilares branch is where I saw it) and occasionally Digestives & Chocolate digestives in the same place... but, back on topic, anyone know about Marmite (not Vegemite!!) , 'cos I'm with TheLongWayHome on this one!! |

Back off topic again  Why is mustard so weak in a country that loves hot food - Colmans is available in Liverpool, you can keep your McCormick's and French's! |

| I read a suggestion somewhere (maybe here last time the topic came up) to ask at the British Embassy for their secret stashes of Marmite. I'd feel a bit of a nutter doing that myself, but maybe its worth a try? |

Still no luck in rancho SLP but Superama (Walmart for the rich) is good for imported stuff pero te va a doler el codo. I think some kind of Marmite importation business is in order.  |

I'm up for it - but how big's the market?
BTW, I gave a Mexican friend a jar and his 10 y-o daughter said she liked it with cajeta  |
