I was given Parrish's Chemical Food and some malty tasting treacly dark

I didn't mind the latter but the PCF was disgusting and you had to drink
it
through a straw because it stained the teeth. I hate to think what it
did
to the insides!

What about that WONDERFUL syrupy orange juice that came in a square
bottle
......... I loved that :~)

Urggghhh, no - awful memories! Our school matron had the vile idea that
that kind of juice mixed with hot water was the sovereign cure for
everything from a bash on the shins at hockey to a broken arm. It was
absolutely disgusting. A glass of that and one measly aspirin plus half
an
hour's sitting down used to get "now off you go and run around, dear".
Blech.

OH - I loved it so much that I used to pester my Mum to swap coupons with
other people so I could have extra :~))

I liked the Virol and munched it down happily while others did their level
best to be AWOL when it was being doled out. Mind you that was when I
boarded briefly at a convent where the food was so utterly revolting that
nowadays it would be considered as a health hazard.
