Marmite in Canada (with a few other things)
I had to see for myself if a few certain items did or did not actually exsist in Canada, so I took a trip into Moose Jaw and went to Superstore (it also happened to coincide with my mother's shopping trip). As we went through the store, my eyes were peeled for things that are typically British, or that I had associated only with England. Here are a few things that I found throughout the store: Marmite. I was shocked to find it and even nearly bought it, but then common sense prevailed. Hienz Salad Cream! I was so excited to see this stuff, that despite the price of it I made my mum buy some. I braved the strong smelling imported olive section to venture into the ethnic cooking aisle (which is an adventure in itself at times). Here, I found a whole range of Pataks curry products and was quite thrilled! Lastly, I wasn't really looking for anything else, but out of the corner of my eye I spotted it. On the top shelf and with a huge astronomical price attacked to it, I saw a small bottle of Ribena! Unless I was desperate though and really really homesick for something familiar, then I would buy the Ribena. Just to know that I can find it here now was a bit of a comfort.
So that was my trip to the supermarket and was very thankful to find some now familiar items. Sad that it was one of the highlights of my week though.
