Sources of British Food in Australia

Australian / UK Food Equivalents

• Marmite: The Australian actual equivalent, available in Supermarkets, is called "Our Mate", made in UK, but named differently due to an Australian product also called Marmite, but not tasting the same.
  
  



• Bisto: Bisto Gravy granules were marketed as product called "Sooo! Gravy", made by Bisto in the UK. However, they no longer bring them into Australia.

Please let us know of any other "exact" equivalents by adding your comment below.

Australian / UK Food Same Name but different

• Weetabix / Weetbix, although both are breakfast cereals, these are NOT the same products. They look similar, sort of, but taste quite different. I prefer the UK type myself, which are sometimes available in Australian supermarkets, under the "International Food section", at about 4 times the price of the local variety.
  
  • Australian Weetbix : http://www.weetbix.com.au/weetbixfamily/weetbix-original.aspx : Fibre 11g per 100gm : Fat 1.4g per 100gm
  • UK Weet-a-bix: http://www.weetabix.co.uk/brands/weetabix : Fibre 10g per 100gm : Fat 2g per 100gm
• Marmite/ Marmite. Not the same, see above equivalents.
