Bovril Cubes...what's going on?

[GordonM]

Now all we need to suss out is which of the meaty stock cubes are actually meat, and not the digested sommat or other from the hair of Chinese women, and duck feathers ?M

I've been using the mini Magi stockcubes. A lot smaller that OXO types and one does a cup/small mug and two for a big mug. So small they pack away better than the other types too. Quite tasty - though a bit strange for me at first as remarkably I'm Scottish and didn't like salt all my life 'till after a recent operation? Also handy for flavouring noodles/cous-cous and the likes when out.


You'll find them in Polish grocers and larger Tescos in the ethnic foods section.

Bovril, Marmite and OXO all the way, I carry a box of OXO cubes in the food section lol, as said, drink it, flavour stuff with it, it is soooooooooooooooooo versatile

i ve never ate a mars bar since they changed the receipe in the 1980s. Hate the new soft version. If oxo changes that me finished with them as well.

I love OXO drinks, I can even sit there and eat a OXO cube on its own

As well as Marmite

Don't start picking on Marmite.

McVities digestive biscuits had their recipe changed but after consumer complaints they are launching 'Traditional' (original) recipe biscuits...why mess in the first place.

Cost cutting, army rat packs used to contain a silver beef drink. Not seen it in the recent packs

Over to Oxo then. I used to like a Bovril and was wondering why I couldn't find them.

I assume at some point Bovril as we knew it will be resumed with the ever so nice people responsible for its return lauded for their consumer care, and free publicity will also be nice

Don't suppose you have pics or links to the good/bad Oxo cubes, do you?

I bought a pack of the 'normal' ones in my local Tesco a few days ago, and this is the first I've heard about any changes, so if needed, I'll go stock up.
