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

[Noangelbuthavingfun]

Just made myself the most delicious fresh toast with lashings of butter and Bovril..... yum 😁. (I could empty a tub in 3 days....).
Said to husband in passing: "I don't like Marmite as much, but Bovril is out of this world..."
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 !

Marmite is yeast extract and bovril isnt

Marmite for bread and Bovril for toast.

No. Both delicious but one is extract of yeast and one extract of beef.

Sorry YABU.

One is a delicious vegetarian treat and the other is boiled down cow

Nb your choices don’t make sense.

He is definitely wrong.

I'd spread marmite on toast or bread, but drink Bovril at 1/2 time at the match.

THE SAME?????? ARE YOU MAD????!!!!!

Marmite is the devil's food. Bovril, on buttered toast......oh.my.word.

Sorry, in my utter rage I didnt specify that my comment was to MrNoAngel, and as @gobbynorthernbird says - LTB

Marmite is vegan. Bovril is beef juice.

Why are there two threads on this?

Bovril is cow, marmite is fungal. Both delish imo!

Next you will be saying that UK and US chocolate are the same.

@Bvop

Agreed!

@MatildaTheCat - how do the choices not make sense? It isn't OP who thinks they are the same, it is her husband.
They are two very different things. I'd put Bovril in a soup or casserole but wouldn't put marmite in food, I only love it on buttery toast.

Does he have a view on Vegemite?

I think people need to read posts and not just titles 😂
Yanbu!!
Very different, both delicious, especially on buttered toast ♥️♥️♥️

I'm glad someone else loves Bovril on toast! I do and so does my son.
They are not the same thing. I have never tried marmite! Just don't fancy it.

YANBU - they are totally different. Your dh is being not only unreasonable but ignorant and willfully annoying. I don’t say this often at all but perhaps you should reconsider your relationship.

Even when they were making bovril from yeast only for a while they were still totally different.

Would you really drink a cup of marmite?

They aren't both the same to a vegetarian. Bovril has beef extract.

Marmite is umami gorgeousness

Bovril is Extract Of Bessie 🐄
