What I do remember is having a tbsp of cod liver oil and malt and a Horlick tablet every morning as we went into school in the 1940`s.

I liked that cod liver oil and malt. Wonder if they still make it. Might make a nice spread!! lol

[douglas9401]

carlton23, cod liver oil and malt with a couple of salted peanuts to take away the taste of the oil. Happy days! :)
(1960's mind, I'm just a child.)

Boots Chemist do the Malt & Codliver Oil

[mike11111]

There was also halibut liver oil and malt. Cheaper than the cod variety, but didn't taste as nice.

I can also remember Parrish's Liquid. Can't remember what it was for (probably the bowels) but it tasted gorgeous.

The originator of this thread posted the same question twice (presumably wasn't satisfied with the answers the first time).
I just checked back through previous posts by same - not a word of thanks for any of the many answers. I am dis-custard !
