I'm intrigued to know how else you can take Bovril now
As a treat, I like to eat an Oxo cube with a glass of cold water. Nice and refreshing in the summer.I prefer Oxo as a drink to Bovril, but I'm not sure that ever caught on.
Bovril, lives by gravy granuals at my normal haunt, however I discovered that H&B sell it, much cheeper than my place, and on a shelf by itself opposite curry sauces and such.....I got into an appalling situation in Tesco years ago because of Bovril.
I used to take a bloke shopping there and he could get into conversations with (largely unwilling) folk that could go on for ages. I used to pass the time by volunteering to find the more obscure items.
Bovril is a product that doesn't really have a definite place in the shelving system of different stores, but I like to find things, rather than just ask straightaway.
I had to give up, though, and eventually asked a shelf-stacker that I picked at random.
"Do you know where the Bovril is?", I asked the poor chap, and it quickly became apparent that he had only recently arrived in the UK from India.
"What is Bovril?" was his response.
I descended into what really does sound a bizarre description - how it is essentially a cow that has been boiled down to the point that you can pour it into a jar...
It became clear that he thought I was 'having a go' at his innocent ethnicity.
I did eventually find a jar and went back to explain that, as mad as it sounds, it really is a 'thing'.
Bovril milkshake.I'm intrigued to know how else you can drink Bovril now
When I got back from my evening walk on the Chase a bit ago a mug of hot Oxo is what I had to warm me up. I'm just starting to get the feeling back in my fingers now...I prefer Oxo as a drink to Bovril, but I'm not sure that ever caught on.
So, the beef tea, that soldiers/people drank in ww2 was Bovril. I didn't know this.It was referred to as "beef tea" on the BBC, when you weren't allowed to use trade names.
So you like oxo, but not marmite or Bovril? What's the difference?When I got back from my evening walk on the Chase a bit ago a mug of hot Oxo is what I had to warm me up. I'm just starting to get the feeling back in my fingers now...
Oxo is nice, occasionally, Bovril and particularly Marmite is not.So you like oxo, but not marmite or Bovril? What's the difference?
Marmite on hot buttered crumpets..... MmmmmmmOxo is nice, occasionally, Bovril and particularly Marmite is not.
I've always liked a mug of oxo in hot water. But been drinking gallons of it whilst dieting the past few months.I think I may be addicted to Bovril
