I have just rediscovered the pleasures of these drinks on a wet and cold June day like today

Oops! Caught enter too soon!

I was saying, we love Chicken Bovril. Very quick to make and tasty!

I was looking for Bovril in Tesco the other day but couldn't find it, I fancy a cup now.

I love bovril with cream crackers dunked in.

[scrummyyummy]

I think they are by the stock cubes section or possibly with the Marmite

[robert551069]

I got my Bovril rom Asda. I think you can buy it online if the local shops don't have any in stock.

Dont think ive ever tried Bovril - does it taste like marmite??

[rowanwitch]

no it tastes like a strong beefy or chickeny clear gravy

Used to like bovril after swimming

[Smowball]

Hmmm, I might try that then.

Used to have a pie and bovril at the Villa, warms you up in the winter.

Home-made soup yes. Bovril and Cup-of-soup definitely no, not ever.

[pdust]

cup a soup tastes like water with bits chucked in to me but make one up and pour it over rice and its a right easy snack if you come in freezing cold,tired and cant be bothered cooking lol

The 'cup-a-soups' in the Ainsley Harriet range are worlds apart from the standard ones and are very good for a hot warming something when you don;t fancy a T or coffee.
The Mulligatawny and the Szechuan hot and sour are my faves although I agree they don't touch freshly made soups.

[Kiki-frog]

Ainsley Harriot cup soups are the only ones worth trying IMO

If you have no bovril, an oxo cube is not too dissimilar, dash of worcestershire sauce, nice

[Celticv11]

Would not dare run out of oxo cubes, pie and bovril great to look at when there is nothing worth watching:)

Cup-a-Soup. Tesco want £1.09 each, or two for £1.50. Poundland - two for £1.00, (when they have them). Poundstretcher - 59p each.
