British to the backbone Bovril has been keeping Britain's Chin up since 1886!
Do you know your Bovril history?
In 1871, a Scot named John Lawson Johnston won a 'canned beef' contract to feed Napoleon's troops with his invention "Johnston's Fluid Beef", the original name for his famous Beef Extract. Renamed Bovril in 1886, the Great British drink we know and love was born.
On Christmas Day in 1902, Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton supped on a warming cup of Bovril after a chilling four-hour march across the South Pole.
In 1968, the year Bovril production moved from London to Burton on Trent, Burton Football Club was saved from relegation when Stevenage Town left the Southern League!
In 1994, enough Bovril drink was made to fill 90 million match day mugs!

my secret bolognese ingredient
Put it in everything featuring meat.. Or not. Even use it in borscht. Divine!
Whats not to love
mmmmm Bovril :)
As Good As Ever
Bovril makes a lovely beefy drink on a cooler day and spread on toast it's divine, much better than marmite. Slight downside is the price, especially if you get through jars quickly
Just as wonderful as ever, BUT....
Getting too expensive now.
Not the same as cubes
Where are the CUBES
NOT a good drink
If you tried the powdered cups of bovril and fell in love, don't think this will be anything alike! I haven't actually had it on toast as I'm more of a drinker than a masticator, but if you too are looking for the Liquid Heaven Beverage, then might I suggest the stock cubes instead? One in a cup makes it much better! Apologies to toast lovers as I cannot provide any feedback in that regard, but I forward you to the above and below raving reviews.
