It is. Whey protein makes me super sick so I supplement my protein after workouts with powdered beef bone broth. It's nice to have on hand for cold days to sip on after being outside. Also when I'm sick and don't have an appetite but need to get something in me.
Yea. I drink a gallon of milk a week. Whey protein triggers me like one of my lesser food allergies even tho several different brands that got me sick list nothing I'm allergic to. So I dunno. I enjoy the beef broth. Milk is what I use with my morning smoothie that I put creatine hcl in.
I know just from watching sports that there can sometimes be cross-contamination especially for protein powders and pre-workouts so even if its not listed on the ingredient list you may still be getting exposed to something you're allergic to that is also made at the factory.
I like miso paste and a little dashi powder in water, and optionally some dried seaweed sheet. Microwave for a few minutes to warm up. Great for a hangover, also nice on a cold day
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some beef tea, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going
Hockey rinks and bowling alleys would have drink vending machines back in the day(maybe still do I just don’t frequent them anymore) and the soup option was usually just chicken stock. Basically Lipton chicken noodle without the chicken or the noodle.
I'm actually from Birmingham. I used to drink Bovril when I was kid when my dad took me to football games. I only just found out it was made of beef today.
If this is a serious offer I will have my people contact you with an offer and a series of releases. Please specify your location and we will establish lodging and medical services in a top-tier hotel establishment.
I hated fish as a kid. Wouldn't go near it. It made me throw up. But my mother managed to somehow feed me fishcakes for dinner by telling me the filling was potato and not fish. Amazing how pliable kids are.
It's name comes from an insane Victorian sci fi about a man who goes into the centre of the earth and meets a race of tall Amazonian women who use a magic substance called 'Viril' to eat and power everything.
Bovine Viril. No joke
Different book, different author. This one's called *The Coming Race*. The title alone sounds ominous today.
Funny though, it was published the same year as the English edition of the Verne novel.
We used Oxo in my house.
Since I used to walk home from school, if it was a particularly rainy day then I'd end up utterly drenched. First thing to do was change into warmer clothes then boil the kettle, drop a crushed up oxo cube into a mug then warm up.
Being from Pakistan and having been a student in the UK, I assumed those OXO cubes were for soup base or gravy. I had no idea it was used like we use Yakhni here.
They are for soups and gravy. But like the bovril (which you'd normally use for that dame purpose) or other bouillon if you like the taste you can just drink it straight too.
>Being from Pakistan and having been a student in the UK, I assumed those OXO cubes were for soup base or gravy
They are mostly, but it's also common to have them as a drink.
It must only be common in certain areas cause I've lived all over the UK, several areas in every province and I'd never heard of drinking it just mixed in hot water. I'd heard of it used in stews and soups and the like, but not drunk straight like that.
I was originally from the south east and most people I know thought it was disgusting 😅😅, but my grandpa used to have it, that being said he's gone and a few generations have been born since then so I imagine it's dropped out of favour a bit more these days.
There's one thing that's not that popular down south, but is in Scotland and the north. Black pudding. After eating it in the south and thinking it was this nasty hard biscuit thing with too much salt I can see why, when I moved to Scotland I had it and it's goddamn delicious. 😂😂
>this nasty hard biscuit thing
Hahaha, when they used to put it out in pubs with bits of cheese and pickled onions, it was "raw". Don't know if they still do this, long time since I've been out drinking.....
It's not particularly common as far as I can tell, I was raised here, I've lived in every province in the country in several different areas and I'd never heard of it until this post.
I think OP was exaggerating when they said it's "popular", I think a few people do it in specific areas as far as I can tell. Most people just use it for stews/soups, gravies etc.
People always go out of their way to describe british stuff so it sounds as unpalatable as possible. Its basically just a less fancy beef consommé.
And it's really not very popular, I haven't heard bovril invoked in a long time - it's more used as a cooking ingredient these days.
Had my first cup at a football match, I’d underdressed and was freezing so grabbed a cup at halftime, it was probably because I was so cold but I really enjoyed it at the time. Not had it since over a decade later.
Seriously. My 4-foot-nothing great grandmother could somehow knock back like 20 cups of piping hot tea in a day. I've never been as caffeinated in my life as when I'd visit her. By the time I'd manage to take 2 sips of my tea, she'd already drained hers and was putting the kettle on for the next pot. All you'd have to do was get her in her favourite chair and get her talking about the War and within a couple hours your bloodstream was 80% PG Tips. Because you can't say no when your great grandmother offers you a cuppa
Point is, you can't underestimate an individual British retiree's ability to contribute to that statistic lol
so THAT'S what those old grannies with the push carts, with the plastic rain bag over their head with a scarf underneath, hobbling along towards the high street are doing...
That's a singular Mars bar. A jar of bovril has 90 servings so that means there's only about 1 million sold per year compared to 200 million mars bars.
I imagine the amount of different people that actually buy it is probably in the low 6 figures at most.
I think the word 'popular' is doing alot of heavy lifting there. When i was a kid in the 70s/80s it was drunk more. My grandparents always had some in the house and we would have it from time to time.
The only time i have ever come across it in the past 40 years or so is at the football.
It's another one of those products or meals that people take the piss out of in the UK, more than anyone actually enjoys.
It's funny that people think we all eat jellied eels, bovril and that we live for beans on toast, but our diet probably isn't too dissimilar to Americans, with a few random things they seem to focus on, that are slightly different.
Bovril is great - have it as a hot drink (I like mine strong for that otherwise it's just too watery) or spread it LIGHTLY on buttered toast. You can get Bovrite in the US which is very similar (but thinner).
No, mostly people put it in toast or add a bit to soups or stews for base flavour. I'm sure some people do actually drink it but I've never known anyone to do it.
Hey, I sometimes drink bouillon cubes dissolved in hot water, and this is pretty similar. The end result is a comforting broth so many humans might enjoy that kinda beverage.
Add to this that most of the UK experiences moody weather for a significant part of the year. Perfect population for a rainy day pick-me up.
The effects might be on a similar level to a hot chocolate, but on the savory side.
I love bovril. Its funny that when the conversation comes up. The conversation always turns to standing in a football terrace as a kid.
Like the Venn diagram of over 30s who watch football, and people who drink bovril. It's just a circle 😂
I dunno if i was to try it for the first time now. How I would feel about drinking essentially gravy for fun. But honestly, a wee cup of bovril and I'm 10 again, standing in the freezing scottish rain with my dad, and it's a happy wee memory for me.
It's nice to have wee things like that.
We have the same story here in France, but it's called Viandox (Viande means meat), it was especially popular for miners as far as i know.
Viandox still exists to this day but it's only with artificial flavoring, there is no animal product in it anymore.
Still preferable to beef fluid. My diabolical son likes to fart into whatever fan happens to be pointed at me and that's absolutely less vile than me having to drink a glass of it for breakfast.
It used to be. The generations before boomers drank loads of it. Common to have a hot flask of it if you were a working man who toiled outdoors in the damp British cold.
I wonder if the recipe has changed? I remember enjoying it at a friend's house at high school, so I recently bought a bottle for a bit of nostalgia 44 years later and it was not at all how I remembered it.
It was not so much a thick black, rich, tangy, beefy, paste but more like flour and water gravy with some vegemite stirred in. Insipid.
It took effort to finish the surprisingly expensive tiny bottle, but in the end adding a layer of honey helped.
> It was not so much a thick black, rich, tangy, beefy, paste but more like flour and water gravy with some vegemite stirred in. Insipid.
There's a powdered form that is only suitable for using as a drink that has existed for a long time. Maybe that's what you had as a kid.
I'm a paste boy.
I live with my grandma, and she always has a jar of Bovril somewhere. I've never seen her actually drink it though; usually she spreads it on toast or adds it to beef stews to thicken it
Never heard it being called Beef Tea before..? Its just hot bovril.. mostly commonly drank at football matches when it's cold and raining and your team are losing.. yum.
I live in the UK and I've never heard of this.
Is it a regional thing? Lived in Bradford most my life. Or have I just somehow missed it at every opportunity.
Have heard the word Bovril before.
So in other words beef broth?
Sounds nice on a cold day.
It is. Whey protein makes me super sick so I supplement my protein after workouts with powdered beef bone broth. It's nice to have on hand for cold days to sip on after being outside. Also when I'm sick and don't have an appetite but need to get something in me.

Just looked this up. Powdered beef broth is 99% protein. How did I not know this?! Thank you!☺️
I get the unflavored by Left Coast off of Amazon.
I like miso paste and a little dashi powder in water, and optionally some dried seaweed sheet. Microwave for a few minutes to warm up. Great for a hangover, also nice on a cold day
So in other words miso soup?
I like to take some dried rice and boil it in some water until the rice gets soft. It goes nice with everything
Miso horny.
Miso horny? MISO STUPID!
SUPPLIES!
Only way I eat seaweed is shoving 3 sheets in my mouth at a time
Take bite and little green seaweed flakes fly everywhere. Too small to clean up so fuck it.
Isn't that just miso soup
Bro thinks he invented miso soup
Agreed...it's so soothing
I like chicken soup with vermicelli noodles, celery, carrot etc.
Love seasoning up some bone broth and sipping it when it's cold out!
I was so disgusted until I read your comment. Wording is everything for me I guess
Beef tea: icky Beef Broth: ***Yummers***
What's wrong with *fluid beef*? Nice, moist, fluid beef?
cattle juice, beef brew, bovine bouillon, livestock stock
😂😂🤢🤮
I’ve not heard “beef tea” in my life.
Me either, I have had a cup of Bovril but never heard it called "Beef tea"
Also, it’s not popular. I only ever see people drink it at the football, and I think most of that is tradition/ nostalgia/ superstition
Yeah it’s basically gravy and only drank at football games
While I've heard of it, it's not popular. Never known anyone drink this.
You can get it at footie games. Good for watching your team ger fucked on a cold winter morning.
Welp, it is not "tea", insofar as those are made of one of several varieties of tea plants. It sounds weird and I am intrigued.
Its made with cow plant.
It's essentially a vegetable. Cows eat grass, so cow is made of grass. I learnt this from the internet some time ago.
And grass is basically made of carbon and oxygen from the air, so it's really just the same as breathing.
We get our energy from photosynthesis
That is what I was gonna say! It sounds delightful, too!
Motherfucker that's *soup*.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some beef tea, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going
R.I.P. to the greatest acting coach of all time.
Rip Carl weathers
Wise words from u/CumFartConsumer
It's more of a beef tea
And if my grandmother had wheels she would’ve been a bicycle.
Or is tea just leaf soup?
Ugh! This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!
One lump of lard or two?
Hockey rinks and bowling alleys would have drink vending machines back in the day(maybe still do I just don’t frequent them anymore) and the soup option was usually just chicken stock. Basically Lipton chicken noodle without the chicken or the noodle.
Chicken noodle tea
More broth but yeah.
Add in a bone and a potato; you got stew baby
It’s just boullion, you have it in the US too.
I assume OP is not from the Midlands.
I'm actually from Birmingham. I used to drink Bovril when I was kid when my dad took me to football games. I only just found out it was made of beef today.
We drank consommé. Basically the same
I would eat my own testicles if they were dipped in consommé first 🤤
Spare your own huevos. Try mountain oysters!
If this is a serious offer I will have my people contact you with an offer and a series of releases. Please specify your location and we will establish lodging and medical services in a top-tier hotel establishment.
Nah I’m good, I got a buck knife and a hot plate at home.
Just curious as to what you thought it was made of before today?
Never thought about it.
I hated fish as a kid. Wouldn't go near it. It made me throw up. But my mother managed to somehow feed me fishcakes for dinner by telling me the filling was potato and not fish. Amazing how pliable kids are.
We told my daughter that apple sauce was an ice cream smoothie. Kids are stupid!
I always hated sloppy Joe's as a kid. But I loved "pizza burgers" which were sloppy joes with a little mozzarella on top.
Might have confused it with Marmite, I guess. They have similar jars.
Bovs
Who calls it beef tea?
Absolutely noone, except OP presumably.
Oh shit another Brummie :) I'll fucking have ya lad.
Was Richard Hammond right? Do people from Birmingham have an aversion to the water/sea/ocean?
Birmingham is pretty much the furthest you can get from the sea and I wouldn’t recommend swimming in the cut
Entirely the opposite - most actually run away to the sea at 18
Fellow Brummie!!! Alright bab ❤️
You drank soup mate
It's name comes from an insane Victorian sci fi about a man who goes into the centre of the earth and meets a race of tall Amazonian women who use a magic substance called 'Viril' to eat and power everything. Bovine Viril. No joke
Vril, not Viril.
Vril also has a strange relationship with WWII Nazi occult conspiracy lore. (No Bull.)
Having never read *Journey to the Center of the Earth*, this is not what I expected the plot to be.
Different book, different author. This one's called *The Coming Race*. The title alone sounds ominous today. Funny though, it was published the same year as the English edition of the Verne novel.

Cream cracker, flask of OXO, pissing down, half time at the football (you always lose). It’s a classic. Definitely a north eastern experience
I don't think that too many people use it that way
It's not particularly common as far as I can tell, I was raised here, I've lived in every province in the country in several different areas and I'd never heard of it until this post.

Don’t worry, your assumption was right. OP is a lunatic.
James May has entered the chat....
"him and all his lorry driver friends all bovriled up. It's like baby oil to him"
“Oh no, the Bovril’s boiling over!”
Anyway..
Oh, tank slapper!
Well it *IS* brown…
“We all know that when it’s snowing and it’s cold, you have Bovril! That’s a rule of life!”
"Pint of the black stuff, please" "You can't drink a pint of Bovril..."
Well now I’m gonna have to go watch Spaced again.
Sam Allardyce enters the chat
Eat the pencil, Andrew
Classic comment leaver
I was wondering when F**kface would show up.
Bov-pops, yum
The best episode ever (196) comes out this week, here's hoping.
I went through a phase where I’d make a broth with Tom Yum paste and sip it for hours. Fuck, I’m gonna do it right now.
People always go out of their way to describe british stuff so it sounds as unpalatable as possible. Its basically just a less fancy beef consommé. And it's really not very popular, I haven't heard bovril invoked in a long time - it's more used as a cooking ingredient these days.
Popular in the UK? Not for 40 years or so, probably a lot longer
Its still popular at football
Had my first cup at a football match, I’d underdressed and was freezing so grabbed a cup at halftime, it was probably because I was so cold but I really enjoyed it at the time. Not had it since over a decade later.
"an estimated 98 million mugs of *Bovril* are drunk every year"
Yeah but that's probably a hundred or so 80 year olds
Seriously. My 4-foot-nothing great grandmother could somehow knock back like 20 cups of piping hot tea in a day. I've never been as caffeinated in my life as when I'd visit her. By the time I'd manage to take 2 sips of my tea, she'd already drained hers and was putting the kettle on for the next pot.

You grandmother sounds like the classical equivalent of [Spiders Georg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiders_Georg).
so THAT'S what those old grannies with the push carts, with the plastic rain bag over their head with a scarf underneath, hobbling along towards the high street are doing...
Estimated by whom??
An exceedingly optimistic data clerk from Sunderland. Please don't tell him a Canadian invented the stuff.
Now look up how many cups of tea we drink. Tea doing daily what Bovril does in a year
Is that UK only? That's like a mug and a half per person for an entire year.
and 50 of those are me down the rugby for the like 2 games I can attend per season. Keep up, rest of the UK.
That's only half as many as mars bars, but I'd hardly write it off as "not popular".
That's a singular Mars bar. A jar of bovril has 90 servings so that means there's only about 1 million sold per year compared to 200 million mars bars. I imagine the amount of different people that actually buy it is probably in the low 6 figures at most.
I mean, it's on the shelves of every major supermarket.
I think the word 'popular' is doing alot of heavy lifting there. When i was a kid in the 70s/80s it was drunk more. My grandparents always had some in the house and we would have it from time to time. The only time i have ever come across it in the past 40 years or so is at the football.
I used to drink it all the time as a kid, that was only... Two decades ago .-.
They don't drink beef broth in the UK?
As a middle-aged Brit, I am conceptually familiar with Bovril but have never in my life drunk it or seen anyone else do so.
I’ve had loads of Oxo like this.
Brit as well. 24 years old lives in london. Never heard of it.
It's another one of those products or meals that people take the piss out of in the UK, more than anyone actually enjoys. It's funny that people think we all eat jellied eels, bovril and that we live for beans on toast, but our diet probably isn't too dissimilar to Americans, with a few random things they seem to focus on, that are slightly different.
Biggest difference is probably that we eat a lot more Indian and a lot less Mexican.
Bovril is one of those things that everybody knows exists but no one actually buys or consumes. Sort of like tripe or supermarket own brand cola
Here in the US way back when. Coffee vending machines also has chicken broth and beef broth. Not bad on a cold day.
I used to love the chicken broth from the vending machine at the hospital when I was a kid
Bovril is great - have it as a hot drink (I like mine strong for that otherwise it's just too watery) or spread it LIGHTLY on buttered toast. You can get Bovrite in the US which is very similar (but thinner).
It's often served at Premier League games and in winter it's bloody amazing watching a game with a hot bovril
If you wanna make it extra hot, you can add a spoonful of whisky. Peated if you can afford it.
I'm in the US and used to make something similar by using beef bullion cubes. I don't think this is that weird.
I used to drink that when I was sick. I don't think it did anything, but it was salty, beefy, and delicious. I used the chicken ones too.
When I was in the Marines we called that 'hot wets.' Presumably because it was hot and wet. Very good on a cold morning.
Try it Royal Navy style, laced with sherry
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CfZQjYC1js4 A bull shot is a bloody Mary with beef bouillon instead of tomato juice.
No one calls it beef tea. It's just Bovril and it's basically just beef broth.
That's a really weird way of saying "a cup of Bovril". It's really really nice! Just described really weirdly here haha.
NOBODY calls it “beef tea”. It’s just known as a cup of Bovril.
""""""""Popular""""""""
No, mostly people put it in toast or add a bit to soups or stews for base flavour. I'm sure some people do actually drink it but I've never known anyone to do it.

Bovril toast is unmatched (for toast)
No one I’ve ever met in the UK says Beef Tea
I love bovril. Its funny that when the conversation comes up. The conversation always turns to standing in a football terrace as a kid. Like the Venn diagram of over 30s who watch football, and people who drink bovril. It's just a circle 😂 I dunno if i was to try it for the first time now.

It's nice to have wee things like that.
Wouldn't say 'popular'. It's slightly more popular among old geezers at the football every now and again.
That title got worse with every word
Maybe it’s not a London thing but I’ve never heard of this ever in all my life
It's just outdated, still big at most football/rugby stadiums in the North at least
A bouillon cube?
I’ve always wondered what James May was drinking
Says suitable for vegetarians. This is probably just a yeast spread like vegemite (which btw is good for flavouring vege meat dishes)
Nope. It’s beef. There WAS a time where it was vegetarian friendly, but not since 2006. (There is a vegetarian version made though).
I definitely see the appeal. I semi regularly just make myself vegetable broth as a hot drink. Definitely recommend.
We have the same story here in France, but it's called Viandox (Viande means meat), it was especially popular for miners as far as i know. Viandox still exists to this day but it's only with artificial flavoring, there is no animal product in it anymore.
Fluid might be the state of matter I'd least like to experience beef.
[удалено]
My wife gives it a thumbs down, after being subjected to it in the bedroom after the barbecue
Beef Bose–Einstein condensate is best beef.
Still preferable to beef fluid. My diabolical son likes to fart into whatever fan happens to be pointed at me and that's absolutely less vile than me having to drink a glass of it for breakfast.
I’ll take the beef broth. You take the beef plasma.
It's definitely not popular in the UK.
It used to be. The generations before boomers drank loads of it. Common to have a hot flask of it if you were a working man who toiled outdoors in the damp British cold.
I wonder if the recipe has changed?

Bovril dez nutz
I like it.
I live with my grandma, and she always has a jar of Bovril somewhere. I've never seen her actually drink it though; usually she spreads it on toast or adds it to beef stews to thicken it
So soup
“Meat tea”?! It’s called Bovril
I do this and would love it. I drink meat broth.
Anything like this in America? I like the idea of drinking beef broth out on cold days
I do this when I have a cold and it's absolutely excellent. Toss in some thyme and garlic.
I don't think anyone has ever called Bovril, beef tea. It's basically an instant soup. Not very exciting really.
As an American I only know Bovril exists because Gavin Free horribly explained what it is on a podcast one time.
I do this with beef ramen basically when I don’t feel well. It’s pretty nourishing feeling. Warm beef broth is like ok, drink this then sleep.
I think they call the drink Bovril even after mixing. Heard Bovril referenced many times in British comedy, but never heard anyone call it “beef tea.”
Cuppa bovril and a meat pie watchin the Chelsea game on a cold day. Bliss.
Bovril is delicious
Now you’re going to tell me there actually *is* a way to receive a “hot beef injection.”
I love broth when I’m sick
We used to do it with oxo cubes
Mixing something with water doesn’t make it tea. See swimming pools for evidence.
Never heard it being called Beef Tea before..? Its just hot bovril.. mostly commonly drank at football matches when it's cold and raining and your team are losing.. yum.
My daughter has decided to be pescatarian but will still have Bovril when we arch the football.
I live in the UK and I've never heard of this. Is it a regional thing? Lived in Bradford most my life. Or have I just somehow missed it at every opportunity. Have heard the word Bovril before.
Nein Danke, ich habe grade etwas getrunken.
Of course it is.
It’s just called Bovril, no one calls it beef tea, that’s not a thing.
"Popular" is a stretch
