Derry Alli Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Love a bovril at the futba. The pies, not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I had a bovril at starks Park in August and it must have been the first one I've had in years. It was hotter than the sun but glorious accompanied with a steak pie. It seems strange to drink it in an other setting. A bit like having a manky donner kebab when you're not pished at a taxi rank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Rarely have it outside it's natural environment of the football ground. Bizarrely found it sold at games down south without pepper available. Hence why I started keeping a tub of ground pepper with my season ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bovril is fucking delicious, the perfect drink to accompany a peh at the game. Genuinely disgraceful that there’s folk here who haven’t even tried it*With that said, this thread has reminded me that there’s some bovril in the cupboard so I’m away to make myself a cup.*unless you are veggie 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It’s the only thing I’d drink at the football as I’m a bit of a coffee snob tbh and wouldn’t drink tea or coffee out of a pre-packed plastic tub. If anything I find bovril to be a bit cooler than I prefer it at the match these days; health & safety seems to have stopped the sale of nice hot bovril. I have bovril at home and enjoy a salt and peppery mug of it on a chilly evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll often have a whisky and bovril whilst out walking the dog over the Christmas period. If I hadn’t had a drink for three and a bit years I’d be right on that. What a great invention. Have you thought of adding a bit of Crabbie’s to it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bovril is fantastic. I get the cube version and I'm such a fiend I normally take a little bit of the cube to eat neat for a strong Bovril hit first.My dad swears by putting HP sauce in it which is interesting, but not for me Clive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bovril was invented in Edinburgh. I usually have a coffee at HT (pie and coffee, the middle class wankers Scottish football website) but have had the odd Bovril now and again. My mate told me he asked for a cup of tea at Tynecastle once, put milk and sugar in, took a sip and nearly boaked. The lassie had given him a cup of Bovril There was a jar of freeze dried Bovril we used at Edinburgh City games. It looked like someone's granddad's ashes.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ferrino Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Never had it. My parents are from Dundee and I sometimes find myself nibbling on Oxo cubes. Is that the same thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I can never have one at a game without sitting in constant dread of some carthorse player booting the ball into the stands and directly onto my cup, giving me permanent facial burns. Definitely haven't bought one since Sean McGinty played for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coos used in making it as there is still a ban on beef and beef products since the CJD outbreak in 1996. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing behind the goal at half time a stray practice shot knocked my pie out of my hand. Useless City b*****ds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Nothing better than a pie (with brown sauce) and a steaming cup of Bovril once in the ground, after a couple of pre-match pints. I can’t think of a better combination. Kinda weird though that it’s the only time I every drink it at the football. Never take a flask of bovril, fishing, out walking or to any other sporting event for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
