Nel Mezzo del Cammin

When my brother and I were little, my mother used to give us a teaspoon of Maltexo every day. It is a malt extract which has a similar texture to thick honey or molasses. It is full of “natural goodness” and my mother thought it a good supplement to our diet, seeing as we didn’t eat anything.

I recently bought a new container of it mainly for my boys. And I have some down with some sort of cold or flu so tonight I had a teaspoon of it. Gosh, it tasted good and brought back so many nice memories of our childhood. The boys like it too – they only get a little under 1/2 a teaspoon at a time though.
