Unilever, which produces 12,000 tonnes of Bovril a year at its Burton plant, said that in blind taste tests, 10 per cent did not notice any difference and 50 per cent preferred the new product.

the other 40% are still in ICU !!

That's a lot of Bovril! What exactly is it? A powder, or a tar-like stuff like Marmsh*te?

 

[kendor]

Tar like syrup, I have always loved a mug of the stuff with a dash of lemon and pepper but at the price it's going for these days i'm not surprised that call for it is diminishing! Large jar £6! think i'll stick with the caviar.

This nation was built on Bovril, Marmite, oxo ... No wonder we are in the manure now !!

Is this why you try to educate us young 'uns into saving for our retirement???

So we can enjoy Bovril every now and then!

You are a Boat-Janitor ... get yourself in there !!
