The orange is a blavel (I think). Whatever it's called, it's a delicious hybrid of a navel orange and a blood orange. For me, it's the perfect orange for eating as is. Navels have always been my favorite orange because they're so juicy and sweet, and I love the flavor and color of blood oranges but sometimes they're just too tangy to eat as is.The Bovril and Earl Grey are some British foods J and I have been craving for awhile, respectively. Bovril is beef extract and yeast, which sounds disgusting but actually tastes like beef stew. The Brits drink it with water as a warming winter beverage, or put it over rice and butter as an easy meal. Bovril is high in protein and relatively low in everything else, so I don't see the harm in eating it every so often. The Ahmad Earl Grey is a lot stronger than Twinnings, Harley & Sons, or Republic of Tea, so I'm very happy with it. I just hope it's not a fluke that this pack is extra strong.

Instead of the packaged seasoning, I used to use bovril with my instant noodles when I was younger. I have never seen bovril nowadays.
It's hard to find Bovril in the states. If you're in a big city, look in places that sell British foods. Alternatively, pubs with souvenir shops attached, places that sell Victorian style tea sets, or shops specializing in single malt scotch might have Bovril, Marmite, Vegemite, Branston Pickles, and other British specialty foods.
I got mind at Ye Olde King's Heade in Santa Monica, and Sainsbury Market probably has it too.
