    Bovril/Marmite/Vegemite

    sure each has its own place/use.

  • I have a cup of it every night before I settle down (God, I sound about 80 lol) :lol:

    Any of the above 3 is alright in my book! :D

    why no Horlics? or Ovaltine?

  • Because they don't have any beef in them :lol:

    Seriously, I like them too, but I think the savoury nature of the Bovril stops me getting night munchies (which I suffer from)

    at cowdenbeath football club....they don't have bovril.....but the sign says you can have brovril instead....

    it tastes just the same to be honest.....and I like it.

    :D

    *caveat it has been a long time since i went to a game at coosanbeef, so this sign may no longer be there.

    mmmmmmmmmmarmite!!!

    Might grab me some bovril soon, it's been a while that and some horlicks reserved for the evening as that stuff knocks me out. :lol:
    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

  • bovril on toasted buttered bread products. hmmmmmmmm....... :D

    can't say I drink much Bov, mostly I think because it's pricey here and you can only get those tiny little jars

    Bovril from the coffee machine is the single best Idea (OK, aside from Handerpants) that I've heard all day :D
    Everything in moderation ... except beer
    Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day
