Subject: Support from a veggie...

While I am chuffed to bits to be able to have Bovril back in my cupboard (*New* Bovril is still better than Marmite or Vegemite in my opinion) I know that, were I still eating meat, I would be up in arms about this.

I haven't tasted Beefy Bovril for about ten years so I can't really compare the two tastes but I am firmly of the opinion that changing the recipe of any food or drink will ALWAYS make the product worse. Can anyone name ONE product that has been improved by changing? I can't. I've got a similar little mini-crusade of my own going on to get the Czech brewers of Budvar to put their beer back in brown bottles rather than green ones so it doesn't taste off...but I'm up against the marketing people on this one so I've probably got no chance. Still, solidarity eh?

The suggestion that there could be a Veggie Bovril and a Beefy Bovril on the shelves at the same time is a phenomenally sensible idea. No one loses out, you all get the Bovril you know and love but *I* get to enjoy a nice hot mug of the stuff on a cold winter night as well. Everyone's a winner!

Bring back the beef (but keep the Veg)!
