The mustard powder is mostly to enhance the cheese flavour in cheese scones, good strong cheddars expensive here.
Bisto gravy powder contains no meat extracts or meat additives. OXO and Bovril

You don’t really need gravy powder. All you need is beef stock. You can make beef gravy by making roux and add beef powder to that.
I’ve seen that and this:

The (BSE) version no beef extract. Very expensive but mustard powder not to bad a price.
Tip; 1 level tsp of Bovril in 400grams of beef mince for making burger’s, brings out a great flavour also some grated carrot for moistness.
Yeah, I did see some OX tail on a market recently, need to go back and get some for soup.
Havent seen beef renditions here much. But te mustard powder and gravy stuff is still easy to find locally. Luckily.
Has taiwan opened up beef imports? More the throw away cuts processed into stuff. I thought they were worried about mad cow and such. ?

Oh cool. I wasnt searching but havent seen such things as beef stock for a while. Guess i need to peel my eyes a bit haha.
Cook Box is worth doing a slow crawl up the aisles from time to time, they get good random stuff. I got my Thai oyster sauce from there, for example

Cheers for the mention man. Will definately go alone one evening next time i am in ktown! Are the 2 stores much different? My wifes mom lives in Aozidi so it is an easy walk if i remember. But mrt and bikes are good in kaohsiung so can scoot around to the other easy enough.
