I'm a fussy eater so almost everything mentioned here turns my stomach, except Irn Bru, I loves me a drink that stains the lips orange. However I dont get the people who use it as a mixer for just about anything...mingin'

ps. we still get tizer up here! completley different from Irn Bru

[Lee Nub]

I didnt think Tizer was the same, but you had me wondering. We still get both here love em both too.

WTF is Bovril?

The distilled essence of one of your special Culebras.*

It's a kind of dark brown, almost black, tar like substance. Extracted from the render of cows feet (hooves?) and shoe leather.
Not good, but it'll keep you alive if your stranded up a mountain following a plane crash. Just boil up snow and ice and stir in a teaspoon full of the goop. A bit like sump oil but not as tasty.

Pretty much. A sort of sticky, gooey, brown stuff that you can spread on toast or stir into boiling water to make a beverage with.

Once upon a time it was called a beef extract but these days any essence of bouillon has being taken out and replaced by an unknown yeast mix so as to make it more appealing to vegetarians and to overcome any export restrictions imposed because of mad cow disease.

US Food and Drug legislation has most likely banned it on the grounds that it is poisonous and likely to encourage civil unrest and football hooliganism!

[Maduro Jeffrey]

I wasnt a great fan and certainly dont miss it. Now I've got PB&J to put up with instead dont know whats worse.

For those that dont know what PB&J is Peanut Butter and Jelly, which is jam really.

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!

Not the same stuff at all Mr T!! Both are made by Barrs and will stain anything they come in contact with but they are different......and both delicious
