I got the call

[Fazerloz]

As a kid I once asked my mum for some Lucozade and got the response No that's for poorly people. So I have no idea what it tastes like.

 

[Tezza33]

It tastes like chicken

 

[antiquesam]

Lucozade, beef tea and chicken broth, if I got any of those as a child I knew I was close to deaths door or I'd come home having been sent to play with someone who had measles, mumps or some other nasty disease.

I heard that an Askit powder was the main ingredient in all these these vaccines.

We never went to that type of party, a dinner party or a hug at New Year was exciting enough

Dad used to give us a spoonful of Malt as kids.

Out of 5 kids in our family, I was the only one who liked it so I used to have a second spoonful.

Ours was malt and cod liver oil from an earthenware jar one spoonful as we went to bed I can’t remember if I liked it or not.

That wasn't olive oil though

That would probably give you a taste for Marmite if we wanted malt it came in a pint glass
We had cod liver oil which is why I like anything fishy


Good result Rob

 

[Minisorella]

Mmmmmm that spoonful of malt... I can almost taste and smell it if I close my eyes and think back We were given the cod liver oil first - yuck! - and then the malt to take the taste away. It seemed to take forever to twist and turn and spin that big spoon until the malt stopped dripping... but boy was it worth the wait!

I thought we were dead and buried Terry.

I've got 2 Liverpool fans in the house (Son in law and grandson), we were 1 nil down I went out for a fag and when I came back it was 3-1 I couldn't believe it!

Stay safe, save lives (pathetically attempting to stay on topic!)

Sorry. I've forgotten the topic. I take it that it nothing to do with Lucozade but these things were thought to be life savers in the day.

Why talk about chocolate bars on a covid thread?

 

[Fazerloz]

Dad used to give us a spoonful of Vicks and a big smear of it under the nose.

Chocolate wasn't something I talked about as far as I know, but my memory isn't what it was.
