Well it's $4,000 here and apparently quite time consuming re doing the test, monitoring and storage hence the time line and the cost. Indications here are that it is getting cheaper as the requests increase - the old supply and demand.

Ha ha that's awesome about the Vegemite. I love it but I also have a 13 year old that hates Vegemite and loves peanut butter. I tell her stories of peanut butter and jelly in the states and she is very keen. We are off to a newly opened Costco in Sydney in a few weeks so I will "educate" her taste buds then with a peanut butter and jelly purchase

Thanks for the good thoughts and I'll let you know how I go. Test results are 4 - 6 weeks away so around the end of June. Sigh .....

Cheers
