The FastDay Forum

Can any UK fasters tell me where they buy boullion please, i keep reading people praising it but I can only find it on Amazon for around £13

Hi Jan i think you can get Maggi bouillon cubes in most of the major supermarkets
Some peeps just have an oxo ( beef or veggie) i thiknk,to get the same salty boost on a FD
I guess the veggie ones might be slightly better for you healthwise? X

Thanks Candice I wasn't sure if it were the same as an oxo cube, but I have read people say boullion is only 10 cals and I couldn't see an oxo cube or similar having so few calories.

Just googled..cals in oxo beef stock cube 13... In oxo chicken stock cube 20.. In oxo veg stock cube 15 cals xx

That's really surprised me, i might have a slurp tomorrow if I am struggling, I did try Bovril once but I didn't like it. Maybe chicken flavour will be more palatable. Thanks Candice x

@Janpartly and there is also miso soup and Marigold Boullion from Waitrose et al. Many people have a salty drink, but I have never yet .... not sure why. It's a good reminder ... to have up my sleeve

Another thing for a salty boost which i use most fast days is a sixty cal slimmasoup
I think theyre disgusting generally but about 4.30 on a fast day? They taste like nectar of the gods and really zing me up til dindins x

Jan I buy it in sainsburys for a few pounds, there's a couple of different styles and comes in a little pot. A couple of teaspoons and hot water and you're off. Reminds me I've run out.

@Janpartly and Marigold Boullion from Waitrose et al

I sometimes use Marigold...

Sadly, my nearest Waitrose is 106 miles away!

My nearest Asda and Tesco both sell Marigold Bouillon. I've also been known to have a teaspoon of Marmite in a mug of hot water to get the same effect!

Thanks for the replies I'll have a look in sainsburys at the weekend.
