/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I remember being into punk music when I was a young teen. I forget the band but one of the lines in a song was "drink a cup of Bovril and ring me mothers neck". I don't know what that's stuck with me all these years, or why I could ever stomach punk music, particularly English punk.

Not a brit, but why isn't this more popular?
Honestly, I'm a big enough fan of au jus that the only reason I don't drink it straight is because I don't want to be judged.
I'm basically just sucking it out of beef flaps anyway. How is that any more classy than just sipping it straight from the cup?

>ONE RORST BEEF SAMMY PLEASE WIF EXTRA COAL DUST!

name one thing wrong with it that isn't just 'it's not what i'm used to'

>>18074670
Haha, brings back memories. Absolutely terrible. Still better than Cocksparrer.

It's beyond third world poverty tier. It also tastes bad.

>It's beyond third world poverty tier
How so?
Is it unhygenic?
Poorly regulated?
What's third world about it?

Britain up, at least up until around 1970, seems to have been a magical place.

>>18074716
I don't like it

>>18074645
>Do X really..
Fucking tiresome.

>>18074662
>he knew about The Last Resort as a teen and didn't become a skinhead

Ya fucked up, Anon.

>>18074671
When I worked at Arby's I'd do that. Make a cup of au jus and sip it in the back.

>implying

I skirted the SHARP fags and grew up to be a nationalist. It would've been pretty lame to shave my head and wear perry ellis polos to larp as an 80s English skinhead in the early 2000s.

Don't worry bud, these threads only stay up if it's about Americans. I'm waiting for a ban because any time I do it for the Brits, the British janny bans me. Yet "do Americans really get to eat three times a day????" threads basically get stickied.

My parents used to spread dry bovril on bread and have bovril sandwiches in school in the 60s. Not uncommon for the time at all. British food is a meme now, but it truly was horrific back in the day

>>18074645
It’s a great hangover cure

>>18074645
I'm a burger and I do it.

>>18074705
It's beef stock retard.

>>18074692

>LIVER SOSAGE
>"LUNCHEON MEAT" & TOMATO

>>18074752

>>18074705
Chicken stock is leagues better as a drink

THEY DO NOT USE BEEF ANYMORE IN THIS!

>>18074692

>>18074864

If I gave you a spoon and chopped a carrot into it, you wouldn't even question it.

>>18074901

>>18074877

I wish we had bovril it looks delicious

>>18074671
I drink my leftover au jus when I finish my french dips. Shit's good, especially on a cold day. Warms your stomach right up.

I have a VIVID memory of being a kid and sitting in a camping chair in front of my uncle's house to watch the Santa Claus parade, drinking hot beef broth from a mug, before we all realized that my idiot uncle got the parade route wrong and that we'd just spent an hour and a half sitting in the cold for no reason at all

>>18074645
Its a thing in germany as well
Love drinking a cup of hot broth in the winter

Its really nice, very salty but so good.

>>18074645
>Brits eat/drink something
>/ck/ soys lose their shit
Boring

>>18074645
they changed the formula and now it tastes like shit :(

Not drinking this shit anymore since they stopped using beef.

>>18074836
Aussies still put marmite on bread, that's not too bad

>>18077285

>In 2004, Unilever removed beef ingredients from the Bovril formula, rendering it vegetarian.
>In 2006, Unilever reversed that decision and reintroduced beef ingredients to their Bovril formula
so is it good again?

>>18074645
That sounds healthy. I would

>>18077352
>Unilever
Never was

>>18077352
They still stopped the beef.

Fuck I miss being able to buy Bovril in the US.
Sipping a cup from a hot thermos of that stuff was so damn satisfying when working outside on a freezing cold day.

>>18074645
ur mum drank my hot beef base, what a slag

>>18077712
Try picrel, not exactly the same but it might scratch the itch.

>>18077777

>>18077712
>>18077777
Shit, wrong image. Picrel is what I meant, American made, contains soy (of course) but no prions.
