Caramac was still available in 2000 when I was over there, but my favourite regional taste treats (pure carb of course) in England are the soft drinks Tizer and also Dandelion & Burdock.

You can't really describe the taste. Tizer is a bit like 7-up gone wickedly wrong and is an off-urine colour, and Dandelion & Burdock is something like what Americans would call root beer, whilst leaning towards a more delicate sarsaparilla flavour. Any expatriate pom who takes a sip of either is instantly seven years old again and has been known to burst into tears.

Back on Subject we also have at least 2 other Vegemite type foods in Aus, "Promite" and a new one which actually has national TV ads called "MightyMite". Haven't tried either and don't intend to.

Cheers
