I’ve just bought some after reading this thread. I forgot how good it was!
It’s ace added to a chilli or spag bog.
I’ll have to give that a try. 1 teaspoon in the chilli?
Oh and the name is from Bovine nothing to do with horses it’s a beef stock.
If thats directed at me then yes it is and originally was a beef product. I was just quoting the only section in wiki that showed its production method. Obviously it is made from beef boiled down to jelly paste.
Much of wiki quoted its uses throughout history, but failed to say how it was made.
eg Shackleton and his team about lived on the stuff for months, and while we know what Shakletons hut looked like, the info in wiki provides a clue of what it smelled like 😉
My old work (big corporate type office) had it in all the coffee machines. Those old style Klix machines in an otherwise modern and gleaming office.
Turned out the CEO was fueled by the stuff and no other vending machine did it. I actually came round to it a bit as an alternative to the rank coffee the machine did.
Brought up on the stuff on toast and still choose it almost every time on toast. I remember when BSE kicked off, thinking as a family we are screwed!
