But I always thought they were the same thing really.

# The differences
Marmite=vegatable
Bovril=cow

I think thats pretty much the only difference, except for the fact that I don't know anyone who makes a marmite drink... ^_^

# Vegetable?
its better than that
marmite = beer!
(well yeast extract)

# Marmite=good
Unfortunatly, here is a list of the ingrediants for the bitter i'm currently drinking:

Water (good), Malted Barley (good), Wheat Syrup (BAD, WRONG, NO), Sugar (good), Yeast (Sweet bringer of alcohol), Hops (good), CO2 (good), Colour: Plain Caramel (Bad!!! No colourings should be in my beer!!!), Stabiliser: Propylene Glycol Alginate (WTF?!!!? Why? Why does my beer need to be stable when the entire point of it is to make me unstable? Hmmm?) Bastards.

# call me a pedant

marmite = yeast
bovril = cow
vegemite = yuck

# You're a pedant
Okay, yeast, but vegtable/cow sounded better than cow/single-celled lifeform whose genus currently escapes me. Don't think yeast is a bacteria, so it's probably a fungi?!?

# nice
but they're not the same thing. marmite is lovely - beer scrapings where as bovril comes from cows.

# Mmmm loverly yeast
The interest in this has really taken me by surprise... My first front page post - Thank you all!

By the way, I did really know the difference, it was all just for fun really.

Ok, back to munching on the contents of my 500g marmite jar.
