allybally Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 What's happened to the bovril at Fir Park. Is it Bovril? or some cheap substitute. Its twice the price half the size and tastes like piss water. It's not much good on cold winters day. A cup of bovril and chapmans pies is all part of going to the footie. Come on e well sort out the Bovril. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Welcome to the forum ally - bit of a random rant for your 1st post on the eve of possibly the biggest match we've been involved in for many a year but here's my thoughts (I'm off work sitting in the house bored) I'm quite sure its not "bovril" made by bovril that is sold at FP-I think that its made by Knorr so that might be the difference but from wikipedia: In November 2004 the manufacturers, Unilever, announced that the composition of Bovril was being changed from beef extract to a yeast extract, claiming it was to make the product suitable for vegetarians and vegans; at that time fear of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) may have been a factor. According to Unilever, "in blind taste tests, 10% didn't notice any difference in taste, 40% preferred the original and 50% preferred the new product" You could always try what I do and mix 3 to 4 sashets of pepper in with it.

two_sevens Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 It's not vegetarian any more, unless they're using really out of date stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassinari Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Never bought one personally, but the little brown cups reminded me of Vending Machine cups. Cheaper alternative probably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
