That is interesting, considering that Bovril is made from some beef parts (I don't even want to know what parts), and Marmite is vegan (made from yeast). If Bovril is a sissy substitute, why bother with it? Especially considering:
Quote:Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. Other similar products include the Australian Vegemite, which is saltier in taste, the Swiss and the German Vitam-R.

Marmite is made from a byproduct of beer. Think about that. Especially you blasphemers who don't like it. Beer. Beer! BEER! Blasphemers!
