Breakfast on a chilly morning. A couple of slices of buttered WW toast (not pictured - you know what toast looks like!) and a cup of Bovril. This iconic beef extract made into a drink was actually invented in Canada in the 1870s, albeit by a Scottish man, John Lawson Johnston. He returned to the UK and sent Bovril out into the wider world.
I did, a long time ago, find a Chinese knock-off version called Baoril. It wasn't a bad replica.
Today's was the real deal, imported via Hong Kong.
Bovril Ad circa 1900 - PD
