What I did like, again in my childhood years, was the big dessertspoon full of malt, that was really yummy! I was in hospital with pneumonia when I was three and I clearly remember a nurse giving me this huge spoonful of malt every day after breakfast for three weeks, it was lovely
Oh No! Mags. I hated that Virol malt stuff. My mother used to line us four children up, to give us a spoonful of cod iver oil first, then the orange juice, then the Virol. I hated it, so she used to pay me to take it.
It was a nice little earner!

Re: Treacle and Golden Syrup

As a child, syrup was in the cupboards for sponge puddings - yum

I remember mum going through a phase of eating a spoonful of black molasses every day, for her hair I think she said it was for. Is that the same as treacle?

Re: Treacle and Golden Syrup

I buy the Lyle’s Golden syrup in a plastic bottle now. It’s so much easier to use.

Art that's so familiar with the cod liver oil and orange juice. Thankfully not the malt. But I'd have a whole tablespoon of cod liver oil eurgh! The fresh orange juice was nice though.
