What's the British beef extract? I've never heard of such a thing. I know Marmite, though..
Bovril, often consumed in liquid form at football matches, because this country's food food culture has come a long way, but still needs to remember it's roots
Interesting. I've heard of drinking buillon, it used to be a thing around these parts.

No, brown sauce is kinda like ketchup without tomatoes
During the BSE scare, Bovril temporarily switched to a beef-free product. It was Marmite in a Bovril jar.
