guess its time to hit on the family for a care package!. Vegemite comes now in soft plastic travel tubes..

I saw Marmite in the Virgin mega store in Times SQ, a year back, they have a Brit food section. It was over $7 a jar!

this looks like the answer to all your prayers :dance: (it also does vegemite though out of stock at the moment). Prices look pretty good from what I remeber it wasn't cheap in UK so with shipping this is probably cheaper than getting it shipped over (big jars too and bulk buy)

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. :unsure::blink::dead::hehe::no:

Oh...just a personal opinion, obviously. :P M. Btw, Craig lovesss the stuff and we have two huge containers in our cupboard. To be perfectly honest, I probably haven't given it a fair shake as I had the tiniest possible nibble of a piece of toast one time that was spread *very*thinly with marmite.... :lol: Everything about it is just gross to me....Craig says the same though...adverts in England even talk about how you either love it or hate it.... M.

Haha... I made Casey try it last year, as I'd been trying for months to describe it to him but it's impossible to explain Marmite to someone who's never had it. We had Marmitey crumpets, and I was fully expecting him to screw his face up in disgust and be mightily unimpressed... but he was so taken with it that he ended up taking about 6 jars back with him, and trying to give some of his friends & family the mini-jars as gifts. Their reaction was apparently more of the 'urrrrgggghhhh, that's revolting' variety - so he now has all those mini Marmite jars in his desk at work to eat on bagels (hm, can't say I've ever had Marmite on a bagel, but each to their own!) and disgust his colleagues. :D

I'll be taking lots with me... at least two of the big jars. I know I can rely on my Mum to keep me well supplied with the stuff - I can imagine she'll go a bit overboard though, and I'll have to tell her I don't really need a giant jar sending every fortnight! :lol:

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png
