DID ANYONE DRINK THE BOVRIL??

Estie you know I heart you too, especially now you are a loser.
― Mark C, Thursday, 15 May 2008 10:55 (fifteen years ago) link
mark c, 'estie' is esteban buttez's nickname, how much ignominy must i suffer in one day?
― estela, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm sorry. Is it rude of me to have been waiting for you to say that :)
(but if you will choose an internet sobriquet then I don't think you can complain about any nicknames it may gather! What you need is a good, solid, real name, like Mark. Actually you don't, Mark's a terrible, dull name, I wish I'd thought of something witty when I re-registered)

That's a pretty big cheer for a losing extract spread, rubes.
― Mark C, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:45 (fifteen years ago) link
WHATEVER
IT WAS PRACTICALLY A TIE
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I'M JUST HAPPPY THAT VEGEMITE CAME LAST
ELEVEN OUT OF FIFTY = nOT IMPRESSIVE
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I reckon real Marmite would have come last.
11 out of 25, Nick.

DOH. I NOT SO MUCH with the maths eh?

ELEVEN IS STILL WAY BETTER THAN EIGHT AND EXTREMELY CLOSE TO 11.5
X-(
STILL THEY ALL SUUUUUUUUUCK>
WHAT ELSE COULD HAVE ITS ESSENCE EXTRACTERATED TO MAKE AN EXTRACT?
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Extract of cake please.

a scoreboard that says M vegemite B marmite V bovril followed by adding mistakes is not a scoreboard i can take too seriously.
― estela, Thursday, 15 May 2008 12:01 (fifteen years ago) link
So who exactly are you calling a cheat, Lxy, Lingbert or Jergins?
― Mark C, Thursday, 15 May 2008 12:34 (fifteen years ago) link
even though she wasn't there, and even though i <3 her, i am inclined to blame rubitchredd for this entire fiasco.
― estela, Thursday, 15 May 2008 12:40 (fifteen years ago) link
how do people eat that shit on a daily basis? they were tolerably bad upon first smell and taste, but then the aftertaste and the....aftersmell? WOULD NOT GO AWAY. the longer i sat there, the more i wanted to keep lowering my scores. eventually i just gave up. i tried to kill the aftertaste with joffas and beer, but nothing worked. as for the ability to linger, all 3 foodstuffs are champs.
my description of the smell and taste was something like "yeasty nursing home and asshole."
― Lingbert, Thursday, 15 May 2008 14:56 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Lingbert, Thursday, 15 May 2008 14:58 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Lingbert, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:01 (fifteen years ago) link
So none of you actually liked any of the spreads? Maybe John Justen will come to Bovril's rescue.
― Mark C, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I reckon real Marmite would have come last first.
― braveclub, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:06 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't even eat twiglets any more, they're just nasty.
― Mark C, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
remy liked bovril
lol "real marmite" oh boy can't wait to try it
― Lingbert, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:15 (fifteen years ago) link
but seriously, thanks to all who sent stuff. it was gross, but now i know. joffas are pretty good, though.
― Lingbert, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:31 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― remy bean, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link
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'
― remy bean, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― remy bean, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Cheers Remy, and I'm glad you liked it!
― Mark C, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:56 (fifteen years ago) link
i think i had it years ago, on top of ice cream, on a dare.
― remy bean, Thursday, 15 May 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link
my stomach still feels weird
― jergïns, Thursday, 15 May 2008 20:50 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, i have had an interesting day today ... gastronomically.
