What is "Bovril"?
Bovril is a thick and salty meat extract that is often used as a spread or seasoning. It is made from beef extract that is processed into a thick paste or cube form, which can be dissolved in hot water to make a broth. Bovril has a strong and savory flavor that is often described as "meaty" and is a popular ingredient in soups, stews, gravies, and other dishes. It is also commonly used as a spread on toast or crackers, particularly in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. Bovril was first introduced in the late 19th century and has since become a popular and iconic brand of meat extract. It is a rich source of protein and other nutrients and is often consumed for its nutritional benefits as well as its flavor.
