Capitan Mani is the brand of peanut I saw at Supersol in Rota, Andalusia, (it's down the street from a US Navy base) I was told that Carrefour carries this brand as well.
I was wondering if someone with a better fluency in Spanish than I could contact the company and see what stores sell it along the Camino.
Now Falcon! The reason why there's some Vegemite left at Miraz is that the hospitaleros didn't educate non-Aussie pilgrims on how Vegemite is best enjoyed ... spread thickly ... much like jam or Nutella ...!As would be haggis. It takes Australians and Scots to gobble them up!
Hi, Bajaracer, I sent an email to the address listed on the website and will let you know what I hear. Though I am not a peanut butter fan, I understand where you are coming from. When I spent a year in Brazil with my then 4 and 8 year olds, I brought 16 pounds of natural ground peanut butter on the plane. By the end of the year, my kids much preferred beans and rice to peanut butter, but I was glad we had it.
Buen camino, Laurie

I've never heard of that! I love both peanut butter and vegemite but have never considered combining them. Maybe I'll give it a go....And don't forget the magical combos: peanut butter and vegemite; honey and vegemite. A French fiend described the latter as being "almost good"
Vicrev - you're a fountain of information! Now, regarding the hair restoration qualities of vegemite ... (not that I have this problem of course!) do you EAT it or SPREAD IT ON A BALD PATE to achieve the desired results???? !!!Wonderful stuff, Vegemite,good for mouth ulcers,replacement for axle grease,water repellent for leather boots,hair restorer (so I'm told ),the original sun-block.....I'm never without it..................Vicrev.
Loved it Falc, I'm going to try it with carrots,give me a spikey........Like this? (Sorry, you have to sit through an ad first):

Why anyone would eat peanut butter in a land where good octopus is so readily available is beyond me!
I bet we can get it in Madrid as well, right Laurie?

Depends on which side your bread is buttered !!.[quote="Rebekah Scott, post: 172443, member: 271"Marmite, (the English kind of VegeMite)
PLEASE, there is no comparison, this is SACRILEGE ....accept no substitutes, Marmite is a class all of its own. Vegemite...NOOOOOO!!!
Hello Robin--haven't seen you since London!!!Vegemite, marmite; acquired taste and not so much for me. But Peanut buttah... Love it! But hey I'm American. Looked for it A LOT in Spain finally found some in Andalusia. But NOWHERE on the French route did I find Peanut butter. I'm glad to know it is available I just never saw it and I looked long and hard... Whoop, whoop...
Good luck!
There is a spot in Camino Frances where you could find it! At “La casa de los Dioses” before Astorga...I won't even ask if Vegemite,the food of the age,is available in Spain......... ......keep smiling.......Vicrev
