LPT never screw the lid down completely, always 1/4 turn back from closed. Having said that there is still some mileage left, fill with hot water for the last dregs
How many decades has it been out of date?
We get through about one of these a month in my house. I just use it for sauces but my wife and kids are obsessed with having it on toast.
Nope, not till you’ve done that with the 8oz jar of M*****te.
Best served at molten temperature, can be used as a hand warmer and then a drink
I’ve never eaten bovril and I never will because I just know it’s gnarly.
I was trying to find Bovril in the supermarket (Sains) yesterday and couldn’t. I found the Marmite and I (stupidly?) thought it would be near, but no – there was jam, honey, peanut butter. I looked also where the sauces were – no Bovril.
TLDR: WHERE BOV?
I was working at a site and as per usual one of the lads had forgot his dinner, he’d already tricked me out of a packet of crisps so turned to one of the other drivers and managed to blag a butty, as he bit into it his face changed from ‘smug success’ to total horror, he leapt out of his seat and ran out of the porta-cabin heaving his arse up, Dicky the driver looked up and deadpan says “cheese, pickle and Bovril”…
where’s the bricks
*I’ll have a pint of the black stuff*
You can’t drink a pint of Bovril!?
Serious question.
I’ve not had Bovril in over 20 years but this year I’ve been craving it and waiting for it to get colder to start thinking about getting some.
Where do I buy it? Is it near marmite or near drinks?
If you keep it in the fridge it doesn’t drizzle everywhere when you spoon it out. No stuck lids
The first time I did this, I finished off the jar by pouring hot water in and shaking with the cap on for one last bovril shot.
I once spilled Bovril on a cat when spreading it on toast (the bovril, not the cat).
