I gave in and got Vegiemite. I am so mad with myself for not getting two jars when there was still some on the shelves - I didnt want to be selfish and knew we could last until July - but then they changed the date.

I tried Mr 6 on Vegemite at the beginning of the shortage. He took one bite, told me the 'Marmites gone bad' and hasnt touched it since ;) Hes a good kiwi boy :)

Very sad here too - I gave in to Vegemite after one month without and it's okay, but will never replace Marmite.Then I recently read in Healthy Food Mag that the best alternative to get us through these dark times is Promite.What a mistake that was . yuck, yuck, yuck!Even the cats know it's terrible. They love a little Marmite now and then, will tolerate Vegemite and pulled a 'what the heck is that' face when offered Promite lol.

Promite is a love or hate it job. Myself and son really love it, my daughter and another family member hated it.

Well so is Marmite when you come down to it. Overseas visitors think we are nuts for liking it. But I'm starting to make dips to replace it.

I still have 3 jars - one is half full. Don't know how I managed to accumulate 3 - tend to use vegemite more.

Aha steve56467 you have discovered the delights of Promite! I found it when living in Sydney years ago and when I came back had it mailed to me for years. Then it finally came in here but for a long long time i used to keep a large stock of it in case the importation ceased. Just finally starting to relax about it.

It was on the radio yesterday that production of marmite will resume october but . because they are getting some ingredients from different suppliers it could take a good month or so after that to start hitting the supermarket shelves, Theres still quite a few auctions on TM for marmite
