I’ve only ever seen them in Waitrose or on Ocado Renee.

Thanks. I do have a Waitrose about 8 miles away and call in occasionally when I get the Park'nRide into Preston.

Have you ever looked at the ingredients of Horlicks? The main ingredient, I seem to remember is wheat flour. I used to eat it by the spoonful when I was young and Bournvita too.

I was going to contradict you because I thought it was mostly skimmed milk powder, but you are right. Wheat, barley, sugar and chemicals.

I remember Miduri from the early 80s when I frequented the Rembrandt Club in Liverpool. One of the (two) barmaids used to drink it with lemonade.

I seem to remember it's a melon flavoured liqueur.

The Rembrandt was super cool and opened at midnight.
I worked shifts, earlies started at 0600. Sometimes I went home, had a bath, put my uniform on and went to work.
Couldn't do it now.

Yes, Miduri is melon flavoured and a bright green colour. That was a very early start!

[WWordsworth Profile]

I worked at Liverpool Airport.
First departure was 0700 every day.

[Pampy Profile]

Think it was called Midori

[Renee Profile]

Yes, that looks a better spelling!

It is on offer in Asda at the moment, but I won't be re-creating the cocktail again!
