So if people are swapping Marmite for Bovril on their toast, how many of you have made Marmite into a drink?

You can make marmite into a drink no probs, and it's nice.

But - has anyone noticed the big, BIG difference between today's Bovril and the Bovril of your childhood? It's because it actually contains no beef - since the BSE scare they don't use any beef extract which means to me it tastes pretty much the same as Marmite, probably as it is made now mostly from yeast extract.

Morrison do a god beefy drink still with 53% beef stock which is about as close to the real thing as you can get now.

Battered white tin mug with a blue rim, standing outside in the freezing cold trying to fix the heap of st car I had when I was a student smile

Also good to warm oneself up when on watch on an overnight stretch on a yacht.
