He needs what every Brit stuck abroad in one of the uncivilised Commonwealth countries needs: One thousand Breakfast Teabags and the biggest pot of Marmite you can find.
You mean Vegemite? According to this new thing called "science", the natural order of spreads for the -mites goes Vegemite > Marmite > Dolphin Butter. Mmm, sweet sweet dolphin butter.
I'm not really arguing whether Vegemite is better or not, having never tasted it and I don't even know what Dolphin Butter is (without resorting to a thoroughly disturbing euphemism!), however I'm pretty sure Vegemite is Australian so he can buy it by the bucket load. Marmite is thoroughly British; they buy the yeast for it from ale brewing companies. All British Ex-Pats need some!
Here in New Zealand we
only consume Marmite. Marmite-filled buns, Marmite sandwiches, Marmite soup, Marmite lamb, Marmite sausage, Marmite milk, Marmite marmite, Marmite chocolate...
no exceptions. We aspire to be Brits, you see!
