Bonox is a beef extract product first sold in 1919, currently owned by
Kraft Foods , and can still be found in many supermarkets today. Used as stock in cooking, or more commonly to create a "hearty" beef drink. The latter use was notable for making the product a household name during its early existence, for which it became common to ask "Coffee, tea or "bonox" when offering guests a drink.
