I like vegemite. I also like bovril but that's too expensive. My mother tells us that when she was a young girl she had been quite ill and that it was bovril that pulled her through. Mum stills uses bovril to this day.

It has to be Marmite! You don't know what bits of cow have gone into Bovril - although as a vegetarian I wouldn't touch it even if I knew! Allie

I'm no Aussie, but it has to be vegemite...though Promite is not bad on hot toast. Love that kinda celery taste in the morning. But Vegemite I love any time on bread, toast or crackers. Thick with lots of butter! When I used to go to Asia, I could never take enough Vegemite! I would turn up at breakfast in the hotel and all the Aussies would swamp me.....my jar, if I got it back at the end of breakfast was usually empty. You guys that haven't tried it, don't know what you're missing. Lyn

Never tried vegemite but bovril and marmite are both gross so have no wish to try vegemite if it is anything like them. Mel.

Claire and Maz are right. YUK! I'm not a fan of savoury drinks, or of milky ones either, though I did appreciate the nightly Horlicks in hospital when I had my children. nell

Don't drink Bovril but it's pretty nice on toast! Marmite is the winner though, don't like Vegemite.
