As you know, I have been a veggie since Adam was a lad but I do remember that I always preferred Bovril to Marmite.

When the Foot and Mouth outbreak happened nearly twenty years ago, Bovril made a vegetarian version so I know they have the knowledge to make the product.

I do hope that, now the vegan lobby is so strong, they will start to make it again.

They'd have a bigger market (halal/kosher countries etc)

I prefer Marmite.

An acquired taste methinks :-D. The health food shops used to sell vegan Bovril when I used to go in for daughter's supplies but seeing as she 'outgrew' veganism' it I haven't been recently

That must have been the last of the F&M Bovril.

Possibly but surely as you say they will start making it again now veganism is taking off again :-)
