The worst thing eaten as a 'regular' food is either offal (in all manifestations except small chopped lambs kidney in Steak and Kidney pie/pudding) and cous-cous! I have a reason for the latter though; I once 'led' a Young Officer's Personal Development Adventure Training exercise in Corsica - the aim was to walk the famed GR20 high-level mountain route in reverse (from Ajaccio to Calvi) as fast as possible.The teams were unsupported by an admin trail and thus carried everything needed on their backs. Cous-cous was light, flexible (capable of mixing with herbs/spices etc) nutritious and cheap. The intention was to complete in well under a fortnight; it was an unusually hot Summer so water was scarce and hence more needed to be carried; an incident delayed our progress and as a result we had to wait for Casevac. Apart from a rabbit, some wild garlic and a few wild strawberries, we existed for over 14 days on that muck - towards the end we universally detested the sight and name of it! I still do!

A Triumph! My special agent has captured, and emptied, two prime specimens of the M-onstrosity, including the Memsahib's emergency reserve! Power to the People, Blessed Freedom beckons!

Well done Steve! Every little helps! Meanwhile, The Great Work continues although there is so far little to show for our efforts except for a pile of building components and some wet cement!
That’s not wet cement, that’s salad cream…..not fit for eating nor building….

Yup! Came with Cod-liver oil and NHSS concentrated orange at the Health Centre! (and the Nit Nurse!)
Steve
Never tried it, sort of Horlics with bone marrow. Doesn’t sound appealing does it……also remember we had rose hip syrup instead of concentrated orange juice.
Malt extract Tim. Think of it as super-concentrated beer!

“Brown is the colour,
Spreading is the game,
We’re all together,

So cheer us on through the sun and rain

Cod liver oil! I loved it and I happily gulped it with the addition of some fresh lemon drops, then my parents discovered I had problems in digesting it when I began to smell like a 3 days old cod left in a plastic bag.

Yes, the stink was a serious hampering to my social life (and at that age kids can be really cruel!); anyway, I was one of a kind as nobody, even my pediatrician, could believe I happily gulped my cod liver oil!COR Andrea

He has been busy producing the portable generators for those supporters who are at risk of retaliation by MORON! I'll talk to him and see if he's willing to spare some time for that.
