Mum used to give us a teaspoon of cod liver oil every night when we were little tackers, I've never forgiven her ;-).

As to the health benefits of either?, No idea.

[237SJ]

I would have thought cod liver oil because it contains omega 3 fatty acids.

[sandyRoe]

Was it washed down with a tablespoon of 'malt extract'?

[dannyk13]

At school we used to get a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil & Malt.

My guess......Olive oil.

Olive oil is a well established and researched part of the Mediterranean diet whereas Cod liver oil (Fish oil) relies on Omega 3 to nurture a healthy heart and recent research has placed doubts upon it efficacy.

Both are high in calories though.

That is my take on your question.

[1ozzy]

Yes Sandy, Yes. The malt I didn't mind.
God knows why it was required, but it was a bit of a ritual. We all lined up dutifully and the teaspoon of each was delivered.

Olive oil is my new everything ... moisturiser ... hair /skin . I wouldn't like to take it on a teaspoon though.

[Elina]

Hey you little tacker ;0?

[sandyRoe]

^ is that auto correct for 'help your little ticker'?

[1ozzy]

Not a "little tacker" these days Elina. Old f @ r t would be a better description :-)

[Elina]

It's a new one on me sandy ... lozzy?

[1ozzy]

"Little tacker", Aussie slang for young child.
