Yeah , yoiu've reminded me, I used to stand up like a soldier for my daily dose of ...something malt, extract of malt...blast, can't remember. It came in a dark brown bottle, Dad worked at a brewery, maybe he got it there. Not pleasant but I think I thought it had magical properties.

Could be Malt extract. I was given that as a child. It had a very yeasty taste and was like a brown treacle. God, it was revolting.

I did the same with liverwurst sandwiches. I threw them under my neighbors tree and covered them up with snow. I didnt think it through all the way because surprisingly the snow eventually melted revealing a pile of sandwiches.
I remember my neighbor staring at it one day.
