I found a little jar of vegemite in the american market in Nyon.
americanmarket.ch

Forget the little jars, he wants one like this



Ah sweet black goodness, nectar of the gods it is....

I regretfully inform all Lausannoise Australians that Globus Lausanne does not stock Vegemite. I shall look in Geneva on Friday.

You wont find it in the Geneva one either (only Marmite). I can confirm however that Carrefour in Segny have a good stock (I was there on Saturday), you'll find it in the world foods aisle, near the taco kits, asian sauces etc.

Marmite, ughhh, a vile concoction, the poor unwanted cousin of vegemite, best left on the shelf with its equally despised half brother promite.

There is a shop in Eaux Vives that has vegimite and other stuff. If it is vegimite you need either can send you some or head down to a shop called Ashanti on Rue de Nantes Geneva. Good luck... also there is bacon and loads of english stuff, walkers crisps, breakfast, beans and not too expensive at all.

The other posters are right about Globus... they have a nice selection of imported things... I was very surprised to find things there which I never found in Germany. Mmmm canned pumpkin, different kinds of molasses, baking ingredients, etc. They also have a nice selection of international foods: mexican, asian, american, etc.

And Britshop sell it on-line (and they will respond to your e-mails!)

Does anyone know where we can get some Vegemite, near Lausanne or Geneva?? I know there is a website that we can order from, but would like to get some this weekend if possible!!

No idea where you can get Vegimite. But have you tried the Swiss version 'CENOVIS'?

Apparently new research seems to indicate that Vitamin B, which is plentiful in marmite, vegi and Cenovis - can play an important role in keeping Alzheimers at bay - so will be buying some.

No, haven't tried that one yet.. is it like Vegemite or does it taste different?? heheh the way my hubby eats it, he won't have to worry about Altz or drowning..thanks to the salt content, he's guaranteed to float forever!

Oh No.

Please understand I'm not knocking your post Odile, but rather protecting a 'hausfrau' from a potentially furious husband when he doesn't see that little red and yellow jar.

Cenovis, although similar in taste and texture, is no replacement for a true Vegemite lover.

There is only a marginal difference in flavour between Marmite and Vegemite, and this tears peoples worlds apart.... imagine what Cenovis will do?

Good point! It could cause the universe to implode if I put a slightly altered version in front of him and use any reference or similarity.

The man went through a 2.5k tub of the good stuff in 6 months..

I picked up some vegemite at the british shop van at Ouchy summer markets on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago (just outside the Chateau d'Ouchy) along with some Cadbury chocolate that just didn't taste the way I remembered

I was very confused but then relieved to discover that the recipe is different in England

On a side note does anyone know where I could buy my husband some pizza shapes? I'd fall into 'best wife on earth' category if I found him some

The website that I found has them for sale: http://www.aussieshop.ch/ but as far as being able to walk in and buy, no idea but if I find on my quest for the Vegemite then I'll definitely let you know!!!

p.s thanks for the tip.. will head down to Ouchy on Sunday and see if I can corner that van!!!!

I tried aussieshop but I think they're out of business

Australian Shop

Whilst I agree that There Can Be Only One, (even though some sad tupperware junkies really have no idea) there is an old German saying that goes:

In desperation the devil will even eat flies!

I'll at least give it a go, in the droughts between food packages from the Mainland.

ack.. well, that's not going to be any help at all! You can order them from back home - greataussiefood.com.au but what condition they will be in when arriving is questionable. However, if he's keen then he might not mind a box of pizza shape crumbs?

Considering my MSG monkey/ husband has to restrain himself from licking the flavouring off the inside of the packet I'm sure he'll have no problem eating crumbs
