― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

This brand of Bovril is one you can trust. Thats what I gather from their advertisement at least. That bull is no fucking joke.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Bovril could do well in the US if they marketed it differently. As Extreme Beef Barbeque Sports Drink or something like that.

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Thursday, 6 November 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

bbc america sell marmite but not bovril.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 November 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I know this is a bovril thread, but is there a big difference between marmite and vegemite?

― Nemo (JND), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Suposedly there is, but they both taste like Satan's ass to me.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like Satan's ass and butter on sourdough toast, please.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Some would pay dearly for that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

That's what all the North Americans thought, but apparently it's a "beef tea."

― Nemo (JND), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I was thinking of OXO

Okay, okay, a dollar. But that's it.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

For a special treat, spread Satan's ass on toast and dip it in egg!

― Nemo (JND), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

That costs $1.50, Nemo

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, who made you the keeper of Satan's Ass.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

BEEF TEA!?! Please tell me it comes out of the lady cow when she's horny.

― 0+>, Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

The job was done because nobody dared step up, Ed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Gas, grass, or Satan's ass. Nobody rides for free.

― Nemo (JND), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Raggett's ass, well, that's another story.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Good lord. I seem to have just made myself Ned's pimp.

Do I have to split profits with Dan?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Any pimp/ho relationship in which Dan is the pimp = just plain wrong.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm - maybe I can make him into one of my hos.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I have missed this apparent transaction.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 November 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It was here: Raggett's ass, well, that's another story.

Bovril and margarine on hot hot toast - best breakfast ever.

bovril spread on a dripping cake, even better.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 7 November 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

three years pass...

In the year of 1870, in the war against the Prussians, Napoleon III found that his armies could not 'march on empty stomachs'. He therefore ordered one million cans of beef to feed his starving troops. The task of providing all this beef went to a Scot named John Lawson Johnston. Unfortunately, Britain did not have a large enough quantity of beef to meet the French people's and Napoleon III's demand, so Johnston created a product known as 'Johnston's Fluid Beef' -- later called Bovril.

― gershy, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 06:50 (eighteen years ago)

Which has now been turned into some sub-Marmite shit with no beef in it. Why even bother any more?

― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 08:21 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, apparently they put the beef back in.

― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 08:23 (eighteen years ago)

eight years pass...

This revive is to facilitate the coming clash of titans between imago and vegemitegrrl regarding Bovril and its place in civilized society.
