    Never tasted it.
    But I imagine it tastes likes irish stew. I love irish stew.
    So why would anyone want to drink irish stew with no meat or veg in it???

    if you have never tried it, then give it a go, a nice heaped tea spoon into a cup and pour on boiling water, on a cold day/night nothing is better. now that the winter is upon us, I'm going to live on the stuff :D

    That's stew to me with meat & veg.
    Basically a dinner I can get two days out. Stew is always nicer on the second day.

    There wasn't a 'It gets me hard' option so I just went with 'I love it'.

    Stew is never nice - just a big pot full of shit and too much gravy. Never liked it :(

    Hate that stuff, it is still around? Takes me right back to when I was a child, can smell it now, feel sick.

    I had this every day for my lunch for about 2 yrs at school, my mother was the teacher of the particular class I was in and in order not to show any favouritism I had to sit at the back of the class each day for lunch while she sat at her desk. She used to bring flask of boiling water and make me cup of that awful stuff to have with my sandwiches, I can see the scene again now, can picture the classroom, can smell the bovril, more than 40 odd yrs later!

    I wouldn't drink it, but it makes a great beef stock for stews & mince based dishes like ragus, shephards pie & chilli con carne. Lovely in a Guinness pie too.
