I was in the supermarket in the "international" section and they had a product that looked exactly like Bovril, same bottle and font I think, but it ws called something else.
Plz explain, Mark C. Is it export Bovril because Bovril is such a bad name??
― wilter, Monday, 19 May 2008 22:01 (fifteen years ago) link
As far as I can tell Bonox is the Aussie equivalent, but it is in a vegemite-style jar rather than Bovril-style, being also made by Kraft.
Or was it Oxo Spread?

p.s. that is not the real (or at least British) Bovril label.
I can't remember, I might buy it.

While I appreciate reading the rankings (LOL at "NOT EATING"), I would like to see scorecards and photographs, please, Mr. Justen.

uptoeleven Nick, what do you think of Bovril?
― Mark C, Friday, 23 May 2008 10:27 (fifteen years ago) link
I *think* i like it but my experiences have been mostly confined to the terraces of various football grounds in winter months. I don't think this is an entirely fair test as I'm going to be in love with anything cockles-warming in such nads-shrinking situations.
I can say with confidence, however, that both marmite and vegemite be GROSS. Bovril pwns by default but I shall test it under climate-controlled conditions this weekend and report back.

Smashing - don't forget, good white bread, lightly toasted, generously buttered, with Bovril spread thinly and eaten while still hot. Man, I wonder if I can arrange for this to be my lunch?
― Mark C, Friday, 23 May 2008 11:29 (fifteen years ago) link
I should have a party where all of the finger food is made of marmite/vegemite/bovril.

it came to me late the other night, when i was drunk with a friend and we were doing some tasting
marmite's a salt lick. in 'edible' form
― jergins, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 01:40 (fifteen years ago) link
i bought some bovril yesterday and i had some on toast first, then in a hot drink, and i liked both (i'd realised i couldn't remember it very well because it had been such a long time). i still prefer vegemite on toast but bovril is better for drinking. also, i hate marmite.
― estela, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 01:42 (fifteen years ago) link
hey i hate marmite too!
― jergins, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 01:45 (fifteen years ago) link
