What does bovril taste like?

[Fatty_no_more]

i have heard we can have this on CD.
Just got some boullion and waiting for the kettle to boil. Hoping this will stave my hunger pains.
But does boveril taste like marmite? (she hopes) as i'll get some if so!!!

Bovril isn't recommended on CD. As dancing says it has a very high salt content.

I hadnt heard you could have it but surely the salt content is similar to the bullion, thats really high too.

The Bouillon salt content is not too bad

Both Bovril and Oxo are a no-no

 

[Time4ME]

& there's a reduced salt variety......

Can someone tell me what is Boullion? I'm craving something a bit different to drink. Is it stock?

Thanks!

Dee

Yes it is you can find it in Sainsbury's with the gravys and the reduced salt one is in with the gluten free food usually - its about 1.75 a pot and its like a savoury stock. 1-2tspn a day & you can pop tspn in your soup to make it go further and it tastes even richer.... Get sum xxx

 

[Deejay]

Mmmmm, sounds lovely. I'm going to try it, thanks xx

 

[Time4ME]

it is the marigold bouillon we are all talking about (I think) as this one has been used by many without ill-effect ... other brands may not be so good

Ooooo - yes thats the one, luvly jubbly xx

I got the marigold bullion, but it wasn't the reduced salt one, didn't know you could get two types! Is the on eI got ok? x

\I had 2 mugs of the Marigold ordinary one tonight it was lovely!! I don't mind a little water retention as long as the fat is still burning away!!!

The builion is getting me through really. Had a cup at bedtime last night and am looking forward to one tonight.
Thanks to peeps who pointed out the reduced salt one is in the gluten free section- would never have found it otherwise.
Got mine at Tesco's. Shame about the Bovril- I got really excited for a minute then!!

i checke the slt content of the boullion and the bivril and they were the same!
