marsh man Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 It took a long while for Bovril to reach our household , the nearest we got to it was a mug of boiling water with a oxo cube dissolving in the bottom , didn't do us any harm , then for a nightcap we had a cup of Camp coffee with a spoonful of Nestles Condensed milk , sheer bliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know you can still buy Camp coffee from the super markets this day and age , before we went up market to the condensed milk we were brought up on the tins of powder milk , this we often ate straight out of the round tin by the spoon full without putting it in the water first , I am now beginning to wonder if we were normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see the chocolate flavoured one any more. On the subject of Condensed milk, never tried it but apparently if you boil the unopened can in water for several hours the condended milk turns to toffee, anyone tried it it?

Yep.done it loads of times. The kids used to love it. Makes great bannoffe pie too. Just make sure water doesn't boil dry otherwise you get toffee wallpaper available now "already boiled" but at about twice the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do Marmite peanut butter now although it isn’t really strong enough for me so I end up putting a bit more marmite in it. Marmite peanut butter and vanilla ice cream. Delicious. and reading this thread has prompted me to make a cold roast beef and marmite sandwich. My daughter gave me a jar of Marmite peanut butter as her family won't touch it. I must say that it's a bit of an acquired taste, but reasonably pleasant. However, it smells absolutely disgusting and I'm a marmite lover.
