KeithM89_old

This needs a poll - but make sure to add an 'iv never tried it' option

El Guapo!

Its alright. Personally I prefer a cup of OXO........mmm......

Princess Peach

I never had it. Is it like oxtail soup? Thats delicious.

StereoLove

Never had it but it smells horrible

easyeason3

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???

Dudess

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

Warm beef drink?
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.

Fizman

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

Agreed, same with home made curry, always nicer on the second day!

starbelgrade

Some people use Bovril like a spread & eat it on bread or toast.

The sick fucks.

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

Marmite is a yeast extract & Bovril is a meat extract.

phormium

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!

storm2811

Eh, would this not just be like drinking gravy?

starbelgrade

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.

Super-Rush

Kiera is that you?

squod

Bovril, hot water, vodka, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce

Shave your balls after a few of them

Bovril is so good it makes my penis go hard.

Novella

Hate it. When my granny was in hospital before she died, my relatives kept having cups of this so the smell reminds me of death.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

It reminds me of death because it actually does smell like a dead sheep

squeakyduck

Rotten, my head master used to drink it, ugh the smell even now would turn my stomach! :mad:

MARMITE FOR LIFE!!!! not bovril...not tasted it though however...marmite will always win

PeterIanStaker

Chicken bovril FTW.

Kimono-Girl

its yum!

Cheap Thrills!

I love meat.

But I dont like it when they (the food puppeteers) try to turn meat into a snack, like meat in a cup (Bovril) or 'Jerky' (meat chewin' gum)

Leave meat alone!!! It's perfect as it is. In meat form. :cool:

Hail 2 Da Thief

Love dunking some cheese sambos into the stuff.

MonkeyTennis

Bovril is great. I have some in the morning in the winter.

Its also a great hangover cure. Chicken Bovril is yum too

gigawatt

I like bovril, i drink it occasionally..... especially in this weather. I've recently come across some people(under 20yo) who had never heard of it. is it just me? is there a legion of bovril drinkers out there? I always loved it when i was a kid with a few cream crackers and butter for supper!:)

Jesus christ no

starbelgrade

I use it as a beef stock. It's miles better than most stock cubes.

Wouldn't drink the stuff though.

Dravokivich

my da was big into it. don't seem to see it around in the shops much these days, so have never really gotten around to getting into it.

Would be a good warming up drink these days alright... but sure... Whiskey does me fine too.

Nemanja91

I can never beleive that some people have never had it, I'm 19 and love it although I don't have it very often but there is always a jar of it in the house, I love when there is a bit left on the spoon and having that!
