Bovril,
Invented by a Scotsman, living in Canada to meet the needs of the French people and Napolean the third. Made from ox or cow beef.
Marmite,
Invented by a German but made from brewers yeast.
No contest. Beer rules once again. ;D

Marmite ? Could this have been the reason we now Americans fled from Merry Old England ? Jk, have never tried it, nor really wish to....not ordering it either...But a comical thread to read anyway.

Even more comical?  Look what came in the mail from "the land of OZ".  Still waiting for the other side of the pond to get off their arse and ship my Marmite! |

Your dog looks like he is imploring you not to open the MARMITE "pretender" and wait for the real thing to arrive. I hope you washed your hands after holding that poor substitute jar! ;D Remember, MARMITE, often copied, never equalled. Perhaps the chaps sending you the real thing have obtained information that you also ordered a poor substitute (see above photo'). This may have caused them to question a) your sanity, b) whether you deserve to have a jar of MARMITE in your possession. I wonder where they might have obtained that information? The source will probably never be known...........  Don't forget, if they take pity on you and it does arrive, spread MARMITE thinly, it is liquid gold, nectar of the Gods, to be appreciated by all the five senses, especially the subtle sound of it slowly sinking into hot buttered toast. Your dog is going to love it, I can tell he is a MARMITE kind of dog. Give the pretend jar to someone you don't particularly like, or just put it out for the dustmen, but make sure that you wrap it up well so that they don't know you bought it, even by mistake. ;D |

I don't think she will like the Marmite CH. Being an Australian cattle dog and all she might be a tad biased?

Negative.
She looks discerning to me. a great quality in the Australians, one which I admire greatly.
MARMITE on buttered toast is what she craves and deserves.
As she is a cattle dog, does she keep down the four legged beasts that go to make Bovril? Spit, spit, clean my mouth, a disgusting beverage. No offence of course.

Just as an aside, ian d hunt - how on earth can that dog chase cattle with such very short legs? Or has it worn them down with too much cattle-chasing?

Hmmm. since i'm drunk at this moment ( Usually am on this forum  , BOVRIL : Gods revenge on the navy! Apparently they drink buckets of the stuff, which I personally find disgusting. God doesn't want us to fight on water, and the navy ruined it, hence BOVRIL. Pay for your sins, fishboys! |

Since i'm drunk at this moment (usually am on this forum . . . Ah, that explains a lot, Toff! ;D (Actually, it's a quarter past midnight and I'm on my umpteenth Scotch (Famous Grouse, if you must know). Purely medicinal, you understand . . . beats Bovril every time!) |

I assure you she is a true australian cattle dog and not a blue corgi with dreams of chasing cattle.... Sadly, one of my cattle dogs would rather chase tennis balls and play fetch then ever get near a cow..... And yes there are cows in Alaska, where do you think ice cream ones from? |

Toff,
Is it obligatory to be drunk whilst posting? I always thought so and find that I might qualify and fit in here somewhat.
Renard,
umpteenth, is that more than ten?
Ian,
"Sadly, one of my cattle dogs would rather chase tennis balls and play fetch then ever get near a cow." Just wait until she gets the taste of MARMITE, those darn cows will do what they are told then chummy.
