No-one seems to have mentioned the fact that a couple of years ago, Bovril changed the recipe to remove any beef extract. This was presumably an attempt to appeal to vegetarians, and a reaction to the beef/BSE scare of a few years back.

When I noticed this I was a bit p***ed off. What's Bovril without beef? Marmite, that's what.

But I discovered that Morrisons sell their own version, which has beef extract in. It tastes like the old Bovril did.

I only ever drink it though, I haven't tried it on toast, etc. Maybe I will now...
