Long live Milo. Worldwide.
On moving from New Zealand to Old Blighty I was followed my one trusty friend. Our relationship has blossomed since we left New Zealand's shores a mere 5 years ago. Many friends have drifted away, many now just a Facebook name and mystery to me. But my one true mate and I have been through many times together. Hell, we even applied for a defacto relationship to help me remain in the county. Many a time a food parcel would arrive on my doorstep from my mother back home. Pineapple Lumps, Napisan, Rashins and Vegemite. God help her if Milo did not meet the cut. I have found a small selection of stores that sell my favourite Kiwi mix. At £4 a tin Milo is a tad pricey. But what other way to cope with the English weather than coming home to a Milo embrace? Imposters are about. Horlicks. Good grief. Even Twinnings takes a back seat for me. God help them if they enter my flat. Long live Milo. Worldwide.

Part of my morning routine
A hot cup of Milo has been a part of my morning routine for at least ten years now. It has that smooth chocolatey taste, without being too much, and that glorious smell. That smell that makes a house a home.

I feel like eating it again
My grandma always had Milo when I was like 6. And I loved to go to her house and eat it with a spoon, nothing with it, not even milk. I could live only having Milo. Of course, my mom and my grandma weren’t very happy with me eating chocolate every day, every moment. But I just couldn’t help it, because it tasted sooo good...!!! I have years without eating (or drinking) Milo, and when I found it here, I feel like eating it again.

Without the Milo, milk is nothing
Milo makes milk. Without the Milo, milk is nothing. The question you must ask yourself is ’how do you like yours?’. I didn’t realise how important this question was until I offered to fix a glass of it for a friend. After dropping a couple of scoops on last, she affirmed that she preffered hers made with the Milo put in first, and than mixed to death until the milk is a nice chocolatey colour. On the other hand, I think the Milo is the best part and would prefer to ’play’ with it; scooping it on last, mixing a small part in, and dunking the remaining mixture in, while proceding to eat the that remaining mixture by the spoonful. Techniques aside, Milo is perhaps the main reason why anyone actually chooses to drink milk.
