University Challenge, a quiz show, had a question last night about the waste product of Burton breweries named after a French earthenware casserole!

And I was brought up on a malt product called Virol, which was absolutely disgusting in the true meaning of the word. And learned to read from it's ads, dark blue and orange metal sheets fixed the the railway bridge by Tonbridge station. "Virol - expectant mothers need it" "Virol - adolescents need it" - did I have a vocabulary?

(And Minadex, too. And Liquafruta for coughs, redolent of garlic)
