Horlicks

[NITA EDWARDS]

Just drank my nightly cup of Horlicks, after two glasses of wine!! and it doesn`t taste likeit used to years ago, and have you noticed that Horlicks tablets aren`t on sale anymore? or Ovaltine , wonder why?

I think that might be the tang left over from the wine nita lol

That reminds me of drinking wine after eating an apple..not pleasant!

I seem to remember horlicks tablets ~ not seen any recently although I haven't actually looked ;o)

Don't really know whether Horlicks tasted different in the 1970s...and don't drink wine so it's impossible for me to comment.

But I have found this:

Nita Edwards, these lesser beings obviously mocketh thee!.
I remember Horlicks, Ovaltine, Tate & Lyle syrop, Wall's icecream, and unused bomb-shelters in school yards, but I'm probably older than you........Goodnight

I must add that those instant milky drinks aren't a patch on the original ones ~ horlicks and ovaltine have to be made properly with hot milk :o)

[redcrx]

just to add to what pippa said, full fat milk is best! semi skimmed or even that watery stuff they call skimmed milk just doesnt make it taste right.

[Pippa68]

Oh yes ~ thanks for that, red.

So true!

It`s not the wine, it tastes the same if I don`t drink. Stewey, I remember it all well, and food rationing!!!
