Hi, I am Lynley's daughter Daisy.
I have to take Maltexo, and I did not like it off the spoon, so Mum decided to put it in my porridge. I couldn't taste it. So porridge is a good thing to put it in, or, you can put it in a cake or something like muffins.

i cant remember when the last time i had maltexo was, and i wonder if it still tastes the same

Mum always had a huge jar and she would eat it by the spoon full. right up until she was very ill, she still loved it. I liked it alot as a child and occassionally as I grew up, mum used to say when i craved it it was because i lacked something that was in it. Unfortunately because mum liked it as is sooooo much i never thought of using it in ay other way.
I remember too, eating the malt or treacle for the horses that was kept in the tack room, It was much stronger tasting than maltexo........ the things we do as kids eurrgk!
So sorry I'm not much help. with porridge sounds nice though!

I loved it compared to the olds Lanes Emulsion....now, did any other poor sole have that one....ewwwwwwww!!! Thankfully it didn't put "hairs on my chest" as it deserved to as it was SO horrid! Still got every cold that went around at the time too!!! I think you have to be "40 somethings" to know about that one!

No Clare 50-somethings remember Lanes Emulsion very well indeed and it's not a happy memory. We had Lanes and Maltexo every school day (somehow weekends and holidays were exempt) and I insisted in having the Lanes first so the Maltexo took away the taste. However even as an 8 year old I remember the Lanes repeating on me all morning. Hideous taste. Like you, no haies on my chest and I also caught everything going. I guess the old ducks thought they were doing their best for us

Not cod liver oil it is Halibut oil and orange juice and the other is plain maltexo I liked it and tried it on my children so I could have some as well.
As kids we used to get cod liver oil on its own that was yuuuukkkkyyyyyyy and we would pretend to swallow then race ouside and spit it out or sometimes it would be out the bed room window so I never tried that on mine.

We were given cod-liver oil as kids, but it was in a Seven Seas gelatine capsule so it was tasteless. I loved those capsules; hold them up to the light and they were a gorgeous little golden globe. I think we also had the same ones in halibut oil. Mum probably got the one that was fashinionable at the time.
