Important food poll: Marmite or Bovril

[Hillian1]

Most definitely Marmite. On toast, in sandwiches and with cheese. I love the stuff.

All those options are better with BOVRIL.

VOTE BOVRIL

 

[daveinprague]

Always had the feeling growing up, that Bovril was more posh

 

[Lady Gull]

Marmite for me - mmmm yummy x

 

[Hotchilidog]

Marmite!

 

[Chamberpot]

It all depends if I eat or drink it? I eat marmite with bread and crumpets, but will drink bovril. I never mix it round.

Vote BOVRIL, it contains

It didn't for a while.

 

[British Bulldog]

Marmite for eating, Bovril for drinking.

 

[The Hon Sec]

If you stick to the items in the poll then Bovril to drink and Marmite as a spread. However, I prefer Morrisons 'Beefy Drink' obviously in a mug and Asda's 'Yeast Extract' as a spread. And both are cheaper than the originals and, in my opinion, taste better. And I have carried out my own taste comparisons in each case. But only a personal opinion.

BOVRIL

I think the last time I had Bovril was late 80's in the West Stand at the Goldstone. As they somehow managed to serve it at a temperature that is HOTTER than the SUN and I had a cup once a fortnight since the late 60's, it has removed all my fingerprints and taste buds.
The only product to give equivalent satisfaction now, as I approach my twilight years, is MARMITE.
Culinary delight........... Muffin, toasted with butter and MARMITE with poached egg on top. MMMMMM.

ooh! My favourite font!

For the record Marmite on toast or crumpets.

Marmite - no question

Bovril is food of the DEVIL

There is no fence, there is no Vegemite.

Marmite or Bovril. Choose one. Now.

Gotta say the Bovril at The Amex does the job on a freezing cold day.........Bovril it is.

Marmite until the cows come home!

 

[Notters]

Are you really supposed to eat Bovril? I'm still shocked by this!

Also this on the Marmite wiki page:

Many Brighton residents use the phrase "That's proper Marmite" to show that something may be taken the wrong way or maybe isn't the best idea. One example of this is Riziki Millanzi in the interview about Crystal Palace F.C. coming to play Brighton and Hove Albion in Falmer Stadium which was published in The Argus.[citation needed]

WTF?

Yeah me too - I've never eaten bovril - I'd happily drink it but have never spread it on anything!

Toast two pieces of bread and allow to cool.
Apply desired yellow stuff to one piece of toast (country life spreadable is preferred)
Spread BOVRIL on piece of toast number 1
Place slice of ham on top of BOVRIL
Thinly slice tomato and arrange on ham in a regular pattern
Place 2nd slice of ham on top of arranged tomato
Apply desired yellow stuff to 2nd piece of toast (country life spreadable is preferred)
Spread BOVRIL one piece of toast number 2 (at this stage freshly ground black pepper and salt may be added if desired
Place toast number 2 on top.

Enjoy.
