I would love to try it on a cracker, or some home made bread. I have never seen it here, but maybe in a healthfood store it may be found. It does sound indeed a bit like marmite. The trouble with food labels, at least here in Canada, is, that there are catch phrases such as:" vegetable oils", etc. Soyabean products would fall into that catagory, being a vegetable. The soyabean crops are the larges and cheapest crops grown in the world. Thus what you find now is that soy flour and soy oils are replacing the traditional flours and oils in foods. when I walked along Danforth Avenue, in Toronto recently, a huge shiny oil tanker stopped in front of Papa's reataurant. I had to stop for the guy with the hose. I thought it was heating oil, however when I looked closely it was soyabean oil pumped into the side of the restaurant. Good buy olive oils. This is one of the great Toronto Greek restaurants. Another thing you have to worry about when you go out eating. If someone had told me that that is how cooking oils are delivered I would not have believed it. LOL There are now lots of warnings out for allergic reactions to soy products. When Skye was born, in 2000, there were lots of written information pamflets in the hopital, warning about not using soy products for babies and infants because of their allergic possibilities. I know that at the same time Soy products can be very healthy. Els |

That give food for thought , Els ( pardon the unintended pun !) I have no
idea if "vegetable oils "in vegemite contain soy - certainly when it was first made it did not because soy was simply not grown here and even now it is not a very plentiful crop at all - but of course it can now be imported. At least I am not allergic to soy so I will not have to think of giving it up God Bless gwen -- Gwen Kelly "Els van Dam" wrote in message ...
