I've never had a Bovril. 

Seems wrong to have the handle "Undefeated Steak" now.

Nothing but multi packs of crap PG tips at my office. I'd kill for Yorkshire. 

Working for a retailer we get free drinks but it's all our own brand. Thankfully they do coffee beans and splashed out on a machine.

I'll have a Bovril first thing, then coffee until lunch. I'll swap to green tea post lunch at work in a bid to be healthier but not at home, then have an ovaltine for supper.

I love a mug of Bovril the morning after a night out too.

I've just looked up bovril. Sounds like essentially drinking beef stock / gravy. Which I'm totally down with, but I'm just shocked that people can get away with that being an acceptable drink.

You had to look up Bovril? Seriously?? It's more or less the same as Marmite. My older sister used to drink it a lot, and Oxo.

I haven't had a hot cup of Marmite in years, I know what I'm doing tomorrow now.

Also, did you know that Bovril was vegan for two years? They took the beef out in 2004.

Me neither. You don’t get it at proper football grounds.

Suppose Jus de Boeuf doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

Hardcore tea drinker here but can't stand coffee at all. I'm partial to the odd hot chocolate though.

Seems to be a generational thing in our office that no one under 25 seems to drink tea/coffee any more.

I cant imagibe watching the town without the roof of my mouth being scalded away to the sinus by a lava like bovril and an atomically warmed mwat and potato pie.

I'm not fussy about what I eat at all but the one food I can't stomach is Marmite. Think I'll give Bovril a miss actually. 

Bovril doesn't taste like Marmite. I wouldn't worry about that.

Squeezed from the testies of artisan cows and mixed with pepper milled by men with beards and topknots in Shoreditch.
