I remember the name but I must have missed the experience itself or it didn't have the same ability to scar as the hot ribena.

At last someone else liked it it was called Malt & CodLiver Oil, use to try it out on my school mate's never met one who did like it. Sorry I have no idea if they still make it, but if they do it's to late to start on my little man when we go back, just like Marmite have to start off kid's when they are very young.

Whey-hey they still make it! I'm going to get a stash from boots on my next visit. Thank you for reminding me of it.
