MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT

btw my #1 actually ended up being vegemite somehow. it wasn't a clear winner in my head, more just that it happened to end up having the most points.

btw estela the expression on your dog's face was perfect for what was sitting in front of it.

also, the line "so i hit him in the face with a vegemite sandwich" doesn't sound so comical anymore. gross.

So none of you actually liked any of the spreads? Maybe John Justen will come to Bovril's rescue.

I reckon real Marmite would have come last first.

I can't even eat twiglets any more, they're just nasty.

remy liked bovril

lol "real marmite" oh boy can't wait to try it

but seriously, thanks to all who sent stuff. it was gross, but now i know. joffas are pretty good, though.

i liked the potential of bovril. the execution was ... well, significantly better than that of vegemite/marmite. i kept eating it though, in the same guilty and perverse fashion in which i dip crackers in the oil that comes atop peanut butter. it seems like it would be a wonderful ingredient for a molecular gastronomer.

vegemite was decent (if too salty) but the aftertaste lingered and lingered and lingered. neither whiskey nor soda nor water nor bread could clear it from my palate. i left my big scorecard at the lxy/jergz compound, but i believe i described the appearance as 'bloody boogers' and the taste as 'sweat from a dehydrated arab's scrotum'

marmite did not lead one to create crude, lewd, biological metaphors, just imparted sensation of eating something muddy, british, and very very old. like the schmutz that might've gotten stuck on the bottom of James Herriot's wellingtons.

Cheers Remy, and I'm glad you liked it!

i think i had it years ago, on top of ice cream, on a dare.

my stomach still feels weird

yeah, i have had an interesting day today ... gastronomically.

how do people eat that shit on a daily basis?

I pretty much do ;_;

HOW

par example this morning I ate it on 1 crumpet (bcz there were crumpets in the fridge at work)
Also normally on toast or on crackers. ca depend.

SRS EVERYONE I KNOW LOVES IT I SWEAR

been hot on crumpets lately but just w/ butter

ruby's evil joy at coming second is still making me lol.

You guys did spread the bovril as per my instructions, right?

mark c, i think we like each other now. bovril was like the suture to our ilx wounds.

that makes me happy!

yeah i hope you guys remembered to use it sparingly.... vegemite i've noticed can be put on thicker, but marmite has to be minimal. you should try it with cheese and lettuce on bread.

it is also excellent as bait for eels when applied to rancid meat.

I'm not really into eels atm though.

but rancid meat is ok?

eels seem to approve of it. and rotten eggs.

Remy, I'm happy with that. Sorry again for being a dick.

So, John Justen, looking forward to your input on this topic!

"Sorry"?? Call yourself an internet hardman? DOM never says sorry.

Dom cries himself to sleep at night.

Marc C marinades his balls nightly in a blend of Bovril and Dom's tears.

well that was an amusing little musing i could have kept to myself. could have spelled your name right too.

(must not make "resulting paste" joke)

^i will not be eating breakfast now

kitchen smelled weird yesterday still

at least there's this

TOMORROW, verification of tasting of tests

GIANT JAFFAS

I just like writing that. It's too bad it's too late to suggest new usernames for John, though.

ha

tonight

this

guest judges - FB, K, others

how exactly are you going to test them, do you have a recipe or methodology?

I am looking forward to hearing the results of this v. v. important test.

lol i am not, i have actually only met one american ever who liked vege/mar/mite, everyone else has been uniformly scathing about them.
