I bought some last week at World Market in Plano. I have also bought it in Denton.

Easy -- The British Emporium on Main Street in Grapevine. They also have TImtams and Cherry Ripe as part of a growing selection of Australian foods, as well as South African specialities and (obviously) a whole lot of edibles for Brits.

Awesome, I have been jonesing for some Cherry Ripes the past few weeks! Do you happen to know if they carry Cheds? TIA

Thanks! I normally order them online, just wanted a local source cause I tend to over order/eat :-)

We found Vegemite at the world market in Frisco. Haven't been able to find Milo anywhere though. I also found some Cadbury chocolate at Tom Thumb in Dallas how excited was I. Does anyone know where a good Aussie Pub is or a Pub that shows the NRL especially the state of origin Game 2 is this week.

I saw milo last night at subzi mandi on the corner of plano road & buckingham in garland.

It is a taste that is particularly strong and very salty. I had the "pleasure" of trying some one morning during breakfast while visiting Australia. As opposite in flavor as it is from jellys, jams and other fruit preserves, it still had its place in the basket of prepackaged spreads, found on the breakfast table every morning.

A local resident commented that she had never known a "foreinger" to like it as do residents. Don't know about that, but it wasn't for me. Textex, curious if you're an Aussie native and if not, how were you introduced and come to appreciate the taste - assuming that's the case?

[textex]

no i am not a aussie, i meet some from australia, and have been doing alot of reading on Australia!! also the old men at work song had a line in it about vegemite, btw i did like it my friend did tell me to spread it thin and to try it with butter,

[CocoaNut]

Vegemite is Australian.

[DallasDude]

True that Australians are the Vegemite eaters, while marmite is a New Zealand and UK thing. But oddly enough the gunk was originally made in the US, and is still owned by an American company Kraft. Another oddity is that often the word Kraft, which is prominent on the label in Australia, is often not there when found in the United States.

It is still nastiness in a jar.

[CocoaNut]

Well, not to nit-pick, but according to Wikipedia, Kraft took over the trademark from the Austrailian owning and developing company.

There is a Brit speciality store on north Main St in Grapevine that might have it.

[twinwillow]

Sorry, Kroger's only had, Marmite.

[textex]

thank you for looking that will save me a trip!!!!!

[julesdfw]

Just saw it today, or rather saw the empty shelf labeled vegemite, at the World Market in Plano (75 in front of Collin Creek Mall). Did you find them and buy them out?

[textex]

no i did not buy out all the vegemite LOL! but thanks for the tip! i think i saw a world market on hwy 377

[textex]

thanks for the tips will have to get out now and look some more. i did look in central market in f/w and all i seen was marmite but no vegemite?
thanks

[twinwillow]

Ohh, Vegemite. I've only seen Marmite. Sorry for any confusion. I'll have a look at Kroger's again a few days.

[kingofkings]

Fiesta and Central Market have it.

[DallasDude]

I will eat most anything, but the vegemite ranks up there with balut.

[joanna.mcmaster]

Have to go with Dude on that one, yucky.

[Christnp]

I'm pretty sure World Market has it. They have a big section of shelf-stable food imports from all over. World market is a chain similar to what Pier One used to be, except they also have lots imported non-perishable food.

[twinwillow]

Kroger's on Cedar Springs carry's a large selection of food items imported from the UK. Including,
Vegemite, Salad Cream, Spotted Dick, Cock soup, Sarson's vinegar and many other items.

Also, try Central Market (Dallas).
