I'm trying to decide whether I prefer my Hula Hoops in beef

Actually, I loved Bovril as a kid. I've enjoyed it on football terraces, as well - particularly at Stockport's Edgeley Park where it was know charmingly as 'beefy drink'.

That's what it was called at Highbury and the Emirates, as well. The glw was always unimpressed with my half-time choice of beverage.

Well she is the one who has to kiss you, to be fair. I remember it being called 'beef drink' or 'hot beef drink' at Highbury, but I may be wrong. I didn't know we still did it, as I always have sh1t beer instead.
