Better on toast 
Thought i was the only one!!!!!Bov on white toast, mug of tea - superb!
My kids like double cheese and Bov sarnies in their lunch boxes. Dairylea, chedder and bov, unbeatable!
Nah Marmite's better!
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.
