My Mate Marmite


The mission is completed. Marmite exists in WA. And not at the ridiculously over-priced English shop, but IGA no less– one of the largest supermarkets in Oz. After scouring the shelves with several sets of beady eyes, we spotted it hidden in between the hordes of Vegemite, pro-mite and other questionable yeast extracts so loved in this part of the world.
Several rounds of toast later, I can confirm it’s the real deal, though the Marmite title has been scrapped in favour of the aptly named ‘Our Mate’ which I kind of prefer.
Fin naturally is delighted, though Bay is sticking with the Aussie contingency and continues to opt for ‘daddy’s favourite’.  Breakfast times are now complete...
