The most disgusting thing ever

[Boss Hog]

The wife came home with a jar of Bovril yesterday, no big deal I hear you say.
A hearty meaty drink to warm the cockles on a cold January day.
I've had it many years ago as a kid so I know what it is.
So upon casually browsing the jar I turned to the back to read the instructions.

"Add a teaspoon of Bovril paste to a cup of hot milk." Hot Milk? you have got to be kidding me!!!! Water? yes, Milk no.
I love milk more than the next man but Milk & a meaty paste in the same cup?
I'm sure it's drunk by the gallon by adoring fans when Rangers play Celtic but
personally, I'd rather drink my own piss!

Is it just me or does that sound like the most disgusting and disturbing thing ever?

If not then what legitimate food stuff does turn your stomach?

No ..... not just you Mate ..... whoever dreamt that up had never had a drippin' sandwich ..... now, that's proper food, and you won't find any in Sainsbury's.

Marmite 'n' Milk .... proberbley better for treating acne than for putting down your throat!

tripe tripe tripe.


The most disgusting food I ever ate bar none. Oh the farts... the tripe farts!



If you've ever eaten it you'll know what I mean.

There's very few things that turn my stomach... I'll give practically anything a go: ants, bulls testicles, snakes (and tripe too ) etc... Don't love marmite but in small doses I am OK with it.

The only thing I find really disgusting is Irn Bru . Excuses to the Scots for insulting their national soft-drink but it... smells like rotting gummi bears and tastes just slightly better.

Agreed. But years ago, when God was still debating over the Ten Commandments .... Irn Bru in England was called Tizer. Then the recipe was sharp, fresh and zingy .... nowhere near anything like the sugary zuck it is today!

I am very fykie when it comes to food, not liking the taste of beef, pork or lamb. I'll eat bacon and corned beef and salami, but cooked meat makes be boak! However, I have eaten braised beef when I was really hungry.

I won't eat offal, I'd rather starve, but what really turns my stomach is fish. In fact anything that comes from the sea! And this from a guy who worked on a White Sea trawler for over a year!

[Lee Nub]

Im the same as you mate, any seafood or fish i struggle with

So that's it then .... Battered Arbroath Smokey with a milk and Bovril sauce washed down with Irn Bru isn't good.

LOL!

Love Bovril on toast, but as a drink - yuck, it's just not right!

Deano ..... I think you might want to abandon this thread ..... before Rokkit sees it!

I was once offered a "meaty drink" by 2 guys in park. I respectfully declined. Now i know what it is, i can sleep again at nights.

We used to have it when I was at school. But, in May when we were forced into an outdoor swimming pool for lessons in how to drown without talking. When you're just 5 stones shivering wet and have just climbed out of water at 54?F wearing a pair of home knitted woolie trunks ..... it came in mighty welcome!

Does not sound good, in fact disgusting.

It is however common for Italians to add milk to a meat gravy and for cream to be used in a French sauce for meat so not unheard of.

Love Bovril on toast,

That sounds not to bad, I might try that.
