'''Gav HodgsonBovril''' is the trademarked name of a thick and salty [[meat extract]] paste, similar to a [[yeast extract]], developed in the 1870s by [[John Lawson Johnston]]. It is sold in a distinctive bulbous jar and as cubes and granules. Bovril is owned and distributed by [[Unilever]] UK. Its appearance is similar to the British [[Marmite]] and its Australian equivalent [[Vegemite]]; however, unlike these products, Bovril is not vegetarian.
 
Bovril can be made into a drink (referred to in the UK as a "'''beef tea'''") by diluting with hot water or, less commonly, with milk.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1302&dat=19310701&id=CV0RAAAAIBAJ&sjid=P5YDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3083,128400 |title=Try Bovril and milk (advert) |newspaper=[[The Sydney Mail]] |date=1 July 1931 |page= 23}}</ref> It can be used as a flavouring for soups, broth, stews or porridge, or as a spread, especially on toast in a similar fashion to Marmite and Vegemite.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wainwright|first1=Martin|title=Bovril drops the beef to go vegetarian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/nov/19/foodanddrink|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=28 May 2018|quote=In Malaysia they stir it into porridge and coffee}}</ref>
