Hey all,

I'm an Aussie gal currently living in Dublin and although I'm having the time of my life I am starting to get just a wee bit homesick with the witner chill setting in. I'm starting to crave Vegemite as my stash has run out but I can't seem to find it anywhere in Dublin. I know in Oz we have speciality Irish food stores where you can buy products from Ireland like Tayto crisps, Lyons tea etc... Does anyone know if there would be an Aussie store similar to that in Dublin?

Cheers,
Alexa x

Try Tesco or Sainsbury, Or suck on an OXO cube.

I'm not an Aussie, but I love vegemite, too. I always get it at health food stores. If you don't find the orignal ask for yeast extract. It's almost the same but smoother and milder. I like it even better.

Sucking OXO cubes? Yuck....

I always used to get it for my O/H at superquinn.

Superquinn stock it at realistic prices otherwise I think health food stores also have it at 'remortgage your house' prices. I saw it in superquinn in Walkinstown.

Many supermarkets stock it, but it may be in a strange section (foods of the world?). I think there is quite a big demand for it in London and the supermarkets are not stupid!

#1 when I was a kid I used to eat Oxo cubes. It's a million times nicer than eating vegemite!

I don't know where you can get it in Dublin, but you can mail order it from the Ozzie shops in London.

I think its expensive to do so, but if you really miss it......

My girlfriend lives and breathes the foul muck! ;o)

You can get it in pretty much any health shop, or if you're passing the market in the arcade off Georges Street, you can get it in the natural foods stall in there.

Enjoy!
