Have you had Marmite or Bovril or Vegemite? Or something similar?

Yes. Every kid who ever grew up in the UK has had Marmite sandwiches. I have tried Vegemite. It is similar to Marmite, but don't ever say it is the same. That would be like saying that Coke and Pepsi taste the same.
I know I have had Bovril as a kid, and I know I didn't like it.

Used to like marmite until I had it every day as a drink while recovering from my op. I grew to hate it . Tried it again and few years later and still couldn't stand it.
Liked bovril though.
Never seen vegemite I hope it's better than Aussie beer and tv shows!

Yes, I've had all three. No, I don't care for any of them.
Of the three, Bovril is tolerable much like bullion for broths/soups. As for the fermented/yeasty Marmite and Vegamite? Double yuck!

I had Bovril a long time ago, I didn't care for it either.
