OXY (not quite) moronic

OXO is a brand of gravy concentrates sold in Britain. Don't make the
mistake I made and try to use beef-flavour Oxo cubes to make a beverage
(unless you like drinking a hot, refreshing mug of thin gravy).

Incidentally, when I was in hospital recently I was given Bovril as a
delicious beverage, but the Bovril cubes I get in the supermarket also
taste like gravy. Any advice on how to identify the bouillion (i.e.
consomme) variety of Bovril?
