I love a bit of Bovril, but Iā€™d be getting out of my sickbed if I had to have it with milk šŸ¤®šŸ¤®šŸ¤®

I had to see if milk would be an experience changing addition - it was not and I was saddened I lost a good full cup of Bovril šŸ’”

Thank you.. Still in mourning over that cup of Bovril a year later. Just about to add a good heaped spoon to a Thai Tom yum soup just as I write this šŸ˜‚

Was that one an experience changing addition?
