Bovril: Spread or Drink?

[BradPittsLeftTit]

Need to settle an argument with my DH

He thinks I must be the only one on the planet who spreads bovril on toast. He sees it as purely a hot drink (not that he drinks it) and says marmite should be used for spread instead. I say marmite tastes completely different and I know plenty of people who spread bovril.

I only know 2 people who drink it and both originate from the north

So, AIBU to spread bovril?

YABU it's a drink (please say broadly where you are from)
YANBU it can also be a spread (again, please say where you are broadly from)

I would say IANBU and I'm from central London

as a southerner - both!!

Yep another Southerner saying both. If pushed I'd say I prefer it on toast.

I’ve only ever known it as a drink.

Yep, both - lovely on toast with butter and great as a drink in the winter

It's a drink. I wouldn't spread it on toast, that's what Marmite is for. Scotland

Both but prefer it on toast.

I was an adult before I realised Bovril was a drink and not a dark Marmite type spread.

And I'm a Londoner

Meant to say - southerner

I think it's both but I'm vegan so stick to marmite.

Love it on toast! Southerner moved north.

Neither.

🤮🤮🤮

Londoner 🙋🏼‍♀️ Drink ! Never even considered it as a spread.

Both Northerner

However in shops it is stocked with gravy.

Came on to say "Neither!" but pussycatlickinglollyices beat me to it!

Spread. London.

Spread and my all time favourite comfort food- born Scotland now south

I've only known it as a drink, and I've just read the manufacturers website, and they just refer to it as a drink.

So you are wrong. But I have no issue with you should whatever you want with it.

I suspect that because it's consistency is like Marmite, some people decided it should be used like Marmite.

Oh,I'm Scottish

Both. Delicious on hot buttered toast and equally delicious as a hot drink, especially with a dash of Tabasco.

Welsh moved to Yorkshire, never heard of it as a spread but really want to try it now! As I love the drink!

Spread, and I’m a Londoner. So much nicer than marmite 🤮🤮

I know it as both but I only have it as a spread. Southerner here.

YABU and your dh is right.

Marmite is for toast and Bovril is what you drink at half time at the match
