Huzza for Bovril!
Bovril, Bovril,
The one for you and me.
Nice 'n' beefy Bovril,
All stuck up a tree!
I could eat that stuff straight from the jar!

My mate, Marmite...

No, what we say about americans is too offensive to post here :nod:

Oh so very true. The number of forums I've been banned from...

Vegemite, Marmite, Parwil and Bovril are all pure, unadulterate, imported straight from the 9th Circle of Hell, autographed by Hitler, hatred.
My wife loves Vegemite. I can't open the jar without feeling an urge to retch. My DOG WILL NOT GO NEAR THE STUFF and he'll eat cat droppings. This is a signifigant indicator, in my opinion.
Drink the Coopers, don't eat the Vegemite.

What the hell are they?

Vegemite and Marmite are both basically the same (though in my experience most brits and some aussies will tell you that Marmite is the better of the two--this is the same as picking between arsenic and strychnine, imho): an extract made from the yeast that is left over after the brewing of beer. In Australia, Vegemite originated with Coopers' Brewery* in (I think) South Australia.
Imagine a salty, brackish purple black slime. Further, imagine a smell not unlike the scent of corpse-rot. Now imagine it congealed, concentrated, jarred and spread on toast with butter. This stuff is purified and fortified evil.
[edit]
* My wife informs me that Coopers might be Victorian, and not South Australian. I'm not sure, personally, I'd want to be the city that claimed the origin of this foul venom.

Is this some kind of torture?

Y'know, considering how international the membership here is, I'm genuinely surprised that "Vege-what?" is leading the poll.
Vegemite sandwiches for everyone!

Right, time to register some alt-nicks and get voting, then :nod:

OK - to represent the views of the people who really know (The Australian Public) I'd like to have my say - Vegemite owns. It is an integral part of our culture as a whole! I have been eating it since I was born, and will continue to eat it until I die. It does everything, sates hunger, cures diseases in cats (I'm not sure which one, but you're supposed to put Vegemite on their paws, they lick it off and then get better), cures headaches (No seriously, try it) and puts the rose in every cheek :D Whenever I go anywhere, it's the first food I pack. When my cousin toured Europe for some school competition, she took the biggest jar she could find and still ran out coz all her friends kept pinching it off her. I have tried and hated the alternatives like Marmite - in fact we had a jar sitting in our pantry for over a year with about 5% gone because nobody would eat it. Vegemite - it's the greatest of man's inventions. :D
-
Dude, Vegimite is a Marmite substitue - not the other way around...

Its an Australian form of auto-erotic sadomasochism. That's all I can figure. Vegemite fans get off on torturing themselves.

Oh, that was smart. Now Zylon's going to hunt you down and use sarcasm on you. If you're unlucky, he might even deploy the irony...
You best run while you can, friend...

I tried Marmite once. It was the single strangest taste experience of my life. Never before or since have I had one part of my tongue report "By golly, that's not bad!" while simultaneously other parts of my tongue were screaming in the abject horror of a man faced with the malevolent, seething, black power of an ungodly incarnation of evil itself.
-
Marmite Bad.
Vegemite Bad.
Twiglets Good.
Strange that.
-
It's because Twiglets are Bovril-saturated, not Marmite or Vegemite.
As Thunder said, Bovril OWNS! Bovril can be used for anything, I use it in gravy. It's meant to be a drink, like OXO, but I also use it on toast, or just in a sandwich. or eat it straight from the jar.
-
HAHA!
Dilute Bovril and put it in a Soda Stream!
Bovril IceCream!
Use Bovril as glue fro broken pots, or as a puncture repair kit!
Woodstaining, anti-vamdal paint.
Oh, the many uses of Bovril.
-
Or it makes good bottled suntan, or hair dye or gel.
Marmite and vegemite are nasty vegetable based filth. But bovril, liquid beef! A real drink/paste/obscenity.

Always thought twiglets were yeast extract like Marmite. Ah well, learn something new everyday.
Personally I could never eat anything that has the consistency of something you'd scrape from a heavy smokers lungs.

Says "Marmite" on a Twiglets packet, does it not?
-
My opinion on this thread -> :blah::ick:blah:
-
It's a staple in my diet, I wouldn't get my RDI of whatever vitamins and stuff are listed on the jar without Vegemite. Dare I say that it tastes good too. Another vote for that which is too tough for the rest of the developed world to palate ;)
-
I think Marmite (the 'grandfather' of all these 'foods') were thought up as a joke:
'Hey look! We have this half decomposing yeast product. If we mash it up a jar it, we'll make lot of money!'
I voted for the 'pure evil', if you hadn't guessed. :D
-
I'm not that much for marmite, though vegemite is actually okay when I'm in the mood.
-
You have my sympathy. :D
-
It's pure concentrated hate!!! :lol:
It looks evil... i never tasted it... and i never wont

Are you one of these who says "I'm not doing nothing." thereby implying that you are, indeed, doing something?
