No Beef? No Wonder

I have been eating Bovril sandwiches for lunch and toast for breakfast nearly every day since I was about 4 (i.e. over 45 years!) and recently have noticed it seems to have got saltier and it often leaves a strange taste on my lips - as though it's coated them and you can't get rid of it.
Now I've discovered it's got no beef in anymore, I guess this is the reason.

Anyone else out there know what the actual difference in taste is, because it happened so gradually with me that I was only vaguely aware that it was not as good as it used to be?

I remember when it used to be 100% beef extract and it changed with the seasons. In winter it would be really stiff like butter from the fridge, and in summer runny and thin. It had character!

I'm glad to see at least one other poster here who doesn't drink Bovril but likes it in sandwiches. It saddens me that my 6 year old daughter has gone off Bovril - but that might be because of the no beef :-)

Let's hope the campaign for Bovril Classic is successful!
