This happens to us, too!
But to be fair, I remember years ago travelling around Spain and staying with an Aussie friend in Barcelona for a few days. We were so thrilled to eat vegemite after only a break of two months that we probably ate most of hers |

They sell Marmite  in the Coop at the Au Centre in Lausanne (if you are willing to substitute Marmite for Vegemite.....) 'He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich....' |

Great news all, the weekend Vegemite hunt for Lausanne area has come up trumps!!! Giddy up!! Massive thanks to all involved, in particular -
Runningdeer - The American Market in Nyon definitely stocks it (however please note: we just cleaned them out so unless they have some out back it might be wise to wait a week or two for restocking)
Nic80 - the British van at Ouchy on Sunday also had 2 jars on the shelf. She did say however, that they are only on the sunday markets from April - Oct. If she runs out she heads back to UK regularly - and does do requests! (I did try for pizza shapes but alas, she had no idea)
And if both these fail, Carlos can help as they stock Vegemite and deliver anywhere within Switzerland. A new delivery just arrived last week!! http://www.britshop.ch/__product/11/...Kraft-Vegemite
I have a very happy hubby but untimately my success caused another downfall... the unvierse had to right itself, with the Swans now out of the Finals. *sigh*

due to marmite being substituted for vegimite.. | | | | | Ok.. as a vegemite connoisseur from way back, and also being a type of person who does try to adapt to a new environment, I tried Cenovis for the first time today. (Given to me by a person from Swiss Romandy, but can be purchased at Coop.)
Although I could not say it will replace the beloved Black Gold, it will at least tide me over between rescue packages of "real food".
I am unsure if I can smuggle it onto the kids toast, but will at least give it a go..
And the best part? Seems like it may have made its way to Australia

I'm not sure that Cenovis the vitamin company in Australia is in any way related to Cenovis the spread in Switzerland.

I think someone has mentioned this before; if you rub a piece of toast under a hobo's ballsack it tastes about the same as Vegemite..

Cenovis is available in Migros... its a bit different to Vegemite but close enough to satisfy the craving! (Kind of like how Marmite is a little different). I think the difference is Vegemite is vegetable based wheras Cenovis and Marmite are yeast based and I think have some kind of animal fats...

You can get the train to Nyon and buy it at the American Market.. its expensive and they only have the small jars - but worth it!! Also, come summer when the markets come back to Ouchy, the British food van stocks it.. or if she doesn't have it, she does take regular trips back to the UK and can pick some up there for you (or other items if requested) no tim tams though  but am sure you can ask |

This has nothing to do with Switzerland, but made me think of EF and its Vegemite-deprived members: Spread 'em: Rudd busted over brekky treat | This user would like to thank RetiredInNH for this useful post: | |

I'm about to be groaned at but here I go anyway. Have you tried Cenovis? It's a swiss product and you can get it in almost any store. Yummier than Vegemite, for my taste anyway.

Another "not really relevant but seems worth posting" link: New Zealand Reeling from ‘Marmageddon’: | Quote: |  | | | For the uninitiated, Marmite is a spread — dark, yeasty, gooey, salty — and many New Zealanders put it on bread, toast or crackers in the morning. It’s what’s for breakfast. But they also drink it in hot water, mix it into spaghetti, eat it while watching movies. It’s the stuff of life.
And now it’s about to run out, according to Sanitarium, the company that makes the stuff. | | | | | |
