Bisto sends hugs.

Well they do put the ingredients on the label, because having a veggie
cooking for you means they don't like to use meat products and the bisto
gravy actually says on the tin(made from carboard) that it is vegatarian
even the red version rather than just the green vegatable gravy which
IMHO isn't as tastey as the red.

What do vegetarians use Bisto for? *Original* Bisto (as opposed to the
gravy granules) is used to brown and thicken the juices from a joint or
chicken to make gravy, the flavour coming from the meat. Do vegetarians
make gravy from spinach water?

I don't suppose vegetarians use the original Bisto,

and most don't know the red (favourite version) is suitable for
vegitatians most by default buy the green vegatble gravy version if they
use gravy.

I emailed bisto and within 15mins they got back to me saying

I assume it isn't vegaitarian,

The gravy granules make what is a apparently an acceptable
gravy without any additional ingredients (I don't eat it myself).

Acceptable to who or is it whom ?

Modern cuts of meat with little fat and modern cooking methods with
little pyrolysis or caramilsation do not yield much to make gravy with.
You may or may not approve.

I doubt vegitaians concernt themselevs how meat is cooked.

Some use the red gravy granules with halal meat; others use it because
of milk protein allergy. Both these use cases may involve using it with
meat. Others again because it is vegan.

So vegetarianism is not the only reason.
