these really are getting weird. how would you sell anything like this nowadays.

[Sl4x0r]

the last one isn't a bovril advert - I believe it's a slander against bovril (the idea being that the cows will poo when they die (hence their legs being tied apart)) - hence me not including it in my initial posts...

Trust a lager drinker to spoil it all...

[bouncyb]

Correct, although according to wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril) between 2004 and 2006 is was made with yeast extract, just like marmite.

Bovril is usually made into a hot drink, whereas Marmite is considered a spread/dressing. Although in reality, they can both be drinks or spreads.

Marmite is yeast extract - it's actually a by-product of brewing ale - after it's been conditioned, the beer is tapped off and the brown sludge scraped off the barrel. I guess it's refined a bit before being squirted into jars... Some beers actually have a slight aftertaste of marmite.

Bovril is made from beef (except during the mad-cow/beef on the bone period) and isn't (as far as I'm aware) a by product of another progress.

My question is - what's the different between vegemite and marmite?

Vegemite is what they have in Australia, and as far as I know, theres no difference.

But they taste different - besides - marmite is yeast extract (as previously described) whilst vegemite is a different colour, different texture and also described as being a vegetable extract - so they are different. I just wondered WHY DO WE NEED SPREADABLE SALT.

keeps the pensionable age down by reducing the population?

That reminds me of a joke - it's a bit abstract but I think you can get your head round it;

two nuns are sat in a bath - one says \"where's the soap?\"
the other nun says \"yes it does\"

I never said it was a funny joke...
