Two-minute meal: put on some toast. Take a small glass dish (like
a dessert dish) and wet it inside. Crack two eggs into it, and
spike the membranes with a fork or the eggshell. Put the toast
plate over it and microwave about a minute on medium (experiment

Similar, but vegemite doesn't have the caramel and isn't gloppy.

Noooooo!
Bovril has a concentrated beefy flavour, and Marmite is similar taste but
vegetarian.
Vegemite is an inferior copy of Marmite, and has a strange waxy/greasy
aftertaste.
As an aside, Billy Connolly recounts that he once dropped a bit of breakfast
Marmite toast on the edge of the hotel bed he'd just got out of. Room
service came in, noticed the dark brown streak and assumed it was a skid
mark. Billy said "Oh if you think that's bad, watch this!" and proceeded to
lick it off!

Well, try licking some spread on the inside a clean (ideally new) pair of
underpants.
She'll freak!

Hi,
Bovril is a beef extract meant to be used as a flavour
enhancer in stews, casseroles, etc. It also makes quite a good
comfort drink (sort of a beef tea), especially for a cold day,
when mixed with hot water. It is relatively expensive though, so
if you have some in the lab or office, make sure you hide it.
Marmite is a different beast altogether being produced from
the detritus of the beer-brewing industry. It is dark brown in
colour like Bovril but there the similarity ends. As it is quite
strong in flavour only a very little needs to be spread on your
bread or toast. Its appeal is essentially binary, either you love
it or you hate it. However kids, who you normally associate only
with a sweet tooth, quite often love it.
Vegemite is a similar Australian product, produced from the
same basic materials, but which was developed some years after
Marmite. It used to be very, very salty but has changed in that
respect to bring it in line with modern dietary rules.
Cheers - Joe

Make sure you don't try it when the genuine articles are around and you have
a cold causing temporary loss of smell.
Some TV place did a drama about the H-blocks 'dirty' protest, where
prisoners smeared poo over their cells.
The special effects department used peanut butter and cocoa.
Sounds quite nice.
I had a mate who was in the Navy, and one of their bar-room gags was to take
a pint pot to the loo and return with a poo floating in pee. Everyone would
go "urgh!" of course, but then the fake poo was fished out and eaten with
gusto.
Actually it was a mars bar left in the pocket (wrapped) long enough to melt
and be squishable into a bi-tapered shape.
The liquid was just lime cordial.
Feel free to try this at home kids!

Mind you, one wonders what bits of the bovine are used to make Bovril.
I suspect if we knew, it might not be so popular.

I quite like the taste of this classic, British, high quality, food
product.
After all the edible, offal and pet food products have been removed, the
bones and hide trimmings are boiled down to make the classic woodworking
glue.
The scum that develops on the boiling vats is scraped off, mixed 50%-50%
with E621, put in little black bottles and then sold to us suckers
