Bovril
British meat spread
Bovril is a British brand of thick, dark paste made from concentrated beef extract.
It dissolves in hot water to make a savory drink or adds depth to soups, stews, and gravies: a mug of hot Bovril on a cold day.
The name combines Latin *bos* (ox) with *vril*, a fictional energy source from Victorian science fiction.
