When I was very young, I developed a great love for Vegemite. You may think this odd, since I grew up in the US and not Australia, where this wonderful item hails from. However I was fortunate enough to be exposed to it, and thus I have been enjoying my morning toast spread with a thin layer of butter and then a thicker layer of Vegemite for many, many years. Breakfast is simply not the same without it. Vegemite is, of course, a yeast extract spread. It is made by taking the spent yeast from beer making, washing it of impurities, and then steeping it in water where it breaks down into its constituent proteins. It is then centrifuged, vacuum concentrated, and flavoured with celery, onion, and plenty of salt. I've tried lots of other yeast extracts, but none are the same. Unfortunately, the one thing Vegemite does not do is make a very nice hot drink. For that we must turn to
Bovril is what makes sporting events in the cold possible. It is what helped us defeat the Hun in two world wars. It is a manly drink which keeps hair on your chest. Made by pressure cooking beef carcasses and combining that broth with dehydrated meat powder, then concentrating the whole thing and flavoring with a bit of vegetable extract, Bovril is almost the only thing I want to or will drink when it is snowy and terrible outside. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to get in the United States these days, so I've taken to using an analogue made in North Carolina called Bovrite which is almost but not quite as good.
In this thread let us talk about the dark pasty extracts you enjoy, and if you don't enjoy dark pasty extracts then let those of us who do change your mind because they are very good.
lol if you don't make loving bonox over bovril
