gennisis Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It was always labled 'Beef Extract" but the new jar I have just bought is just labled BOVRIL and the ingredients dont include any beef extract...just yeast extract...in other words it is Marmite...or Vegimite. This explains why my beef casserole didnt taste the same. Why cant they leave things alone. Wilkie says that in 2004 they changed but after complaints changed back...so does that mean that my new jar is 6 years old.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Reminds me of an early incident in my public accounting career when I managed the audit of Bovril in Enfield, London. Some junior member of the team had been strung along by a staff member and presented a paper for my review that explained a movement in cost of production as being due to the lack of success of the snakehunters in Argentina that year! (Bovril was made from cheap bits of Argentinian beef, bones, blood etc - all the kind of stuff that goes into the most delicious of Thai noodle soups).

NanaFoods Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 "BOVRIL" - Who thought up this product name? Sounds like medicine for cattle... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePai Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 "BOVRIL" - Who thought up this product name? Sounds like medicine for cattle... Sorry no, but medicine for humans 'yes' as a drink - just add hot water PS Marmite is best on warm toast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshowJones Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I hope this is in line with the Topic as it is about Western food. Small steak pies at Friendship Supermarket in Pattaya have increased in price from 48 Baht to 80 Baht. I am not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Bovril Sorry Joepai, I thought Bovril was Western food, and food could be drunk as well as eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Bovril was my favourite food when I used to get the munchies all those years ago. I still have a jar unopened of the original stuff, I suppose it'll have to be consumed some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
