Richey Edwards Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I was drinking a Bovril, and it made me wonder if there was anyone on Pie & Bovril that had never actually tried Bovril? Do you enjoy Bovril? Do you drink Bovril outwith the setting of a freezing cold football stadium? Have you invented a special diet were you substitute every other drink for Bovril? Let me know in the comments below. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Not sure. I've had a pie though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I drink it a few times per week. I put a load of pepper in mine - sometimes you want a hot drink that isn't tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Last time I had the flu and hardly ate, the first sign of recovery was drinking bovril. 1 minute ago, The Moonster said: I've never had a Bovril. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I've never had a bovril either. The smell is enough to put me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It's actually quite good with whisky. I'll often have a whisky and bovril whilst out walking the dog over the Christmas period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I've not had a Bovril at the football in ages, as every time I do have one I scald my tounge, even if I leave it sitting for about half an hour Edited October 20, 2021 by Bert Raccoon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I prefer the little plastic cups of bovril powder you can often find in the pound shops over the jar you can get in the supermarket. Always like to add a bit of pepper to it as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago when I was working on the roads, I'd buy tea from a wee shop in Stirling that used these urns. By the time we reached Crianlarich it had cooled enough to be drinkable. Any time before that and you'd get scalded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I tried it once, it tasted like a dissolved oxo cube. Far too salty, wouldn’t bother again. Which brings me onto this… 1 hour ago, Jumbo Muir said: Just finished a big mug of Bovril. Seasoned with salt n pepper. I can’t imagine anyone taking a sip of Bovril and thinking “aye that needs more salt”. That sounds stroke inducing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Exclusively at the football, and only between the months of November and February. I'd much prefer an Ovaltine TBH, but you'd need to wake me up at full-time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
