Great Horlicks tablets Hunt

Suggs

All I remember is that I tried making a drink with the tablets, and wondering why it didnt work!!

But I was young and silly back then only the young part has changed now!

My brother was so addicted to Horlicks that my mum used to buy huge jars of it - wonder what it would be like say mixed with porridge?

I have a recipe at home for a horlicks cake with maltesers on top (think it's Nigella Lawson), but I've never made it - too tempting to eat it all!

I worked in Boots about 22 years ago and I clearly remeber Horlicks tablets but haven't seen them recently either.

PS my brother is getting married soon and we wanted to do a chocolate fountain but balked at the £400 price tag without things to dip in the chocolate. What do you think of the idea of doing a chocolate fondue made with chocolate and cream and having marshmallows and fruit to dip into it - is it asking for chocolately trouble or would you love it at a wedding reception? The chocolate fountains are great but what a lot of money for a gimmick - plus it's very messy. I could borrow several fondue sets and it might be a bit unhygienic but what the hell after a few glasses of vino!!

I've never tried Horlicks tablets but I do remember in the 1980s having Horlicks chocolate sold in a big bar with an old-fashioned Horlicks advert on the wrapper. It was delicious and I've looked out for it ever since, whilst also looking for a life!

I love them too! I told my husband about them but he's never heard of them. And I can't find them anywhere in UK. I grew up with these tablets as weekly treats from my mum when I was in Malaysia.

Last time I went back to Malaysia in 2001, they were still widely available. Both the white and chocolate options. If I go back this summer, I'll get lots and sell to you guys eh?:)

This is really strange, because last weekend I happened to be in Superdrug, and remembered they sold them years ago, and I had this strange craving for them, but alas couldn't find them anywhere on the shelves.

I also remember Horlicks tablets - each one beautifully wrapped in waxed paper. The nearest I get to them nowdays are by using Horlicks powder & a spoon. Would it not be a good idea to have a "Nostalgia Forum" where we list the things we miss & perhaps somebody,somewhere,can tell us if & where we can still get them? I am pineing over the loss of Burdells gravy salt - it was great for my roast beef dinner. I also miss the old fashioned Corona fizzy pop bottles which kept the fizz in until the very last drop.
