Since this is The Best thread.
I have found these to be “The Best”
Although if taking everyday it can be pricey.
I take one every 3 days.
It is good, isn’t it? I remember the days when pretty much your only option was Heinz salad cream. Disgusting stuff, by comparison.

It was easter, I spent a few minutes whipping up my own. Really easy, quick & much nicer.

Thanks for recommending that. I had no idea such a thing existed. I’ve been struggling with the lids of bottled sauerkraut for ages, and often resort to stabbing the lid with a screwdriver to release the vacuum. I will get a Jarkey from the local hardware shop asap.

That reminded me of some post war nutrition.
Halibut Oil. Three drops? On your tongue. Swallow now. (Mother)
I would love to sample this again. I remember it very thick and sweet.
We of course never saw an orange until later.

But you always made sure that you got the teaspoon of cod liver oil first, so that you could kill the taste of it with the teaspoon of orange juice to follow. 
Ah, … … … happy days.

The song ‘Cod Liver Oil and Orange Juice’ sung by the Mary Wallopers comes to mind. I can recommend a listen.

I’ll see your Mary Wallopers, and raise you a Hamish Imlach.

Brilliant, my type of music. Any other recommendations? Americana and folk just hit the spot for me for some reason.
Folk music isn’t on my radar at all, I’m afraid … … … I only remember, as a child, Hamish Imlach droning out from the family Dansette.

Having listened to some more of him it’s not really my thing either. Mary Wallopers are great fun. I’d say Tyler Childers and City and Colour are where I lay my hat mostly.
Halibut oil? That’s the relatives you’re talking about.

Have had one for years.
Ridiculously easy to open any lid using it. However, the best thing about it is the satisfying ‘pop’ when you use it.
My late wife always let me open the new lids with it, commenting ‘little things for little minds’…

Probably came from the USA as Alaska seems to be the main fishing area and we had little trawling ability after WW2.
Perhaps you might go and visit family one day.
I recently recommended the film Insomnia set in the fishing fields.
Looks very cold,very wet and very dark in the winter.
They are very good. I gave one similar to that to Jason a few years ago - seemed pleased with it.
