I have to object (again).
Musk Life Savers and Musk-flavoured lollies are fabulous. Unlike the
rest of the list, they are not manufactured from some part of a beast
that was never intended to be consumed by humans - only other beasts
struggling for a feed. Furthermore, they don't taste like raw meat (what
does raw meat taste like?). They are small, pink and very sweet.Oooh
Yum.
Finally, I'll have you know that Vegemite (now manufactured by the
American food giant - KRAFT) is very good for hangovers - it contains
large amounts of Vitamin B (along with salt). Haven't you ever heard the
song?: "We're happy little vegemites, as bright as bright can
be".....well....maybe not............
