I was born in the '40s and don't think I ever had any of those things (not
even the dread cod liver oil, though I knew about it from books, where it
was axiomatic for medicinal nastiness, along with asafoetida). What we did
have was Zweibach and Pablum.

50's babies in the UK were known as Marmite babies.. it was something we
grew up with alongside malt syrup, rose hip syrup, Ovaltine rusks and cod
liver oil..

I've had one or the other--think probably it was Marmite (my son-in-law

is
Jamaican and grew up with it). It's definitely an acquired taste. g

Jay, Suzanne and others...

In my gratitude for the marvellous advice often given on here I have
often
offered to send a jar of Vegemite from deepest Australia with my
compliments. I see in my newspaper today that Vegemite is now
illegal
in
the USA, so that's off now.

But greetings to all anyway.

PS: I tried disabling Norton's but it made no difference in this
case...
