You might try Migros? I was really surprised to find weetabix there the other day. A friend mentioned she had bought vegemite here in Zurich the other day, I think she said at the grocery store (not sure which one though). Anyway, give it a try, maybe you'll be lucky!

| Quote: | | | | | G'day!
I'm an exchange student from Australia, staying in Winterthur for 1 year. I decided I would bring along a small quantity of vegemite (expecting it to last a long time considering I've never heard of a foreigner liking vegemite) but lo and behold, my host family has fallen in love with this god-like spread - so much so they've become inventive and even started serving it with chicken.
The sad part about this is that I HAVE NO VEGEMITE.
Anyway, I've been craving Tim Tams like crazy and can only find them for importing from Germany (expensive as) and same goes for Vegemite.
However, I've heard there are two places in Switzerland I can buy Vegemite, Orell Füssli, on Bahnhofstr. Zürich apparently stocks it in the basement with the English book section. Also, I'm aware of "mullum australia" in Rapperswil however from looking at their website - it's the biggest load of overpriced sheisse I've ever seen in my life. Oh, apart from the "Outback Lodge" which has absolutely nothing on the menu that's actually your standard Aussie meal apart from VB (beer).
Anyway, it would be awesome if someone could tell me where to find these things...especially Vegemite because Cenovis just doesn't cut it.
Cheers! Danke! | | | | |

Hmm, if we all band together and buy them all does this mean they will keep stocking them?
Edit -wowzer, looks like you can buy an entire carton of Tim Tams from finestbite for CHF6.90 per packet.

I was at Jim's British Market in Gland this afternoon, and noticed that they do Marmite AND Vegemite - also available online for delivery throughout Switzerland via www.jims.ch
Watch out - I always go in looking for one or two things, and end up with a basketful! I'm sure it works the same online...
