Yes, the American version is available, but the ingredients are different and so is the taste. This spreadsheet only focuses on the items which are not the same in the US as they are in Canada, or are unavailable or difficult to find in the US.

I think it all depends on where you live... here in the LA area we have a lot of fresh produce and fresh meat etc...

I agree with you, Marilyn. In upstate NY and PA they have fabulous shops. Where he was in Maryland and down here in Florida.... abysmal.

What about Vegemite, only available at Brit shops or?

Hmmm. I haven't actually looked for Vegemite. Or Marmite. I'll put them on the list just in case.

It is, my parents tried to get me to eat sandwiches with Vegemite on them for school when we lived in Australia but I just couldn't do it. Stuff is freaking nasty...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...
