Bovril and Marmite ... is the same thing isn't it ?

[Noangelbuthavingfun]

Just made myself the most delicious fresh toast with lashings of butter and Bovril..... yum 😁
Said to husband in passing: "I don't like Marmite as much but Bovril I could empty a tub in days!"
DH: "Surely it's the same thing isn't it ?".
The look on my face said it all 😆

YABI = it's the same thing!
YANBU = it's 2 totally different things and anyone saying it is not needs a smack with a wet fish !

Very different maybe read the labels particularly if veggie is important to u?

Love both

Marmite is delicious
Bovril isn’t

Your dp

Your husband needs to get in the bin. Mad man.

Bovril all the way.

Marmite isn’t vegetarian, vegimite is vegetarian tho.

Marmite is yeast extract, which is most certainly vegetarian. Vegan too. I like it.

Vegemite is also based on yeast extract, and is an Australian brand, I believe. Also vegan. I don't like it as much.

Bovril is beef extract, not yeast. It is not at all the same thing and is definitely not suitable for vegetarians.

Completely different, yet both disgusting.

Completely different, yet both delicious.

They taste completely different. I like marmite but prefer bovril

Definitely some "marmite" responses on here about Bovril !
Let's see :
If you love Bovril - how else do you have it other than on buttered toast or hot drink ?
If you are camp marmite (or vegimite) what else do you have it with ?

Marmite is the food of gods.
The other two are foul!
Bovril is beef!! 🐮🐮🐮

Not it's not the same.

Apart from on toast or as a drink I've been known to pop some in stews/soups where the flavour needed "beefing" up with much success.

Not really a fan of marmite/vegimite - I can definitely taste the "yeast" it (and I don't like it).

DH puts a teaspoon of Bovril in with the mince if it's his turn to make cottage pie. I only ever have it in a hot drink - usually if I'm ill and can't face a plate of actual food. One jar lasts a couple of years at least.

We get through a lot of Marmite in this house, dc love it and I am partial to it on toast.

Camp Marmite here. I have it on hot buttered toast. I also sometimes use a small amount of it in vegetable stock for gravy or in a vegetarian chili/bolognese sauce and it gives a good depth of taste.

Bovril on hot buttered crumpets is amazing. I only know this because DH put it on my crumpets by mistake.

Interesting fact: Bovril stopped using meat products back in 2004 because of mad cow disease. But returned to adding them in 2006.

I like marmite too.

Your DH is deranged OP. In what universe are Marmite and Bovril the same?

I've not had Bovril in ages and now I'm really craving some.

Each to their own. Bovril is for me only acceptable as a hot drink. Marmite is for spreading.

Marmite is revolting. Bovril much nicer

Completely different.
I've never had Bovril on toast though, I've had it as a drink but I prefer OXO.

I use marmite in loads of things, can't make beef/pork/lamb gravy without it. Marmite on toast is my comfort food if I'm feeling under the weather.

Bovril on toast, Marmite on fresh bread with lots of proper butter. That's the law in my house. The kids get my face if they ask for Marmite on toast or Bovril on bread.

Teaspoon of marmite stirred into a saucepan of buttery spaghetti .

Sod the family , I can eat a painful by myself

Marmite is full of B vitamins and much better for you than Bovril, though Bovril is nice. I love Marmite on hot buttered toast.....which reminds me.....

Your husband is certifiably mad. I'm team Bovril but haven't had it in years. Will have to get some, it's delicious! Full of vitamins according to my late granny

@plominoagain i had forgotten about marmite spaghetti!!!! I suppose its too late to make some....

Vegemite is a bit like salty margarine.
