Best Answer

Bovril was invented by the Scottish entrepreneur John Lawson Johnston, who built a factory in Quebec, Canada, to cope with his enormous windfall from the French ministry of war. He used meat offcuts to make Fluid Beef which he renamed Bovril from the words Bos, the Latin for a cow, and vril, meaning an electric fluid.
