Many people in the UK will remember cod liver oil seen as a magic ingredient in their childhood.

This wonderful tattooed arm belongs to young Mr Edmond Yong who was on the Atlantic Delights stand at Vitafoods Asia exhibition in Singapore. He told me that cod liver oil, now from Norway, has a long history, and was eaten by Vikings before they went to war and stopped to, er, pillage and whatnot in Britain.
Look at the Vikings fighting fiercelyin a Norwegian Viking Museum, all wearing their distinctive nose protection. Maybe footballers and boxers should wear that.
Maybe that is why some of us look like Vikings and regard them so fondly. They thought cod liver oil strengthened them. No doubt the oil helped them fight stronger. That's what they thought. We had lots of laughs.

He is also marketing Baby's cod liver oil. I wondered whether that turns your baby into a little Viking, which probably makes babies scream more forcefully.
The Altantic Delights stand had run out of the popular cod liver oil. But they had salmon oil capsules. Never heard of it, until now. Learn something every day.

Next year's Vitafoods Asia show is 23rd and 24th September 2020. If you are looking to promote your product, find a distributor, source a service or select packaging, this is the place to be promoting your product or service on a stand or go as a visitor.
Another trade show is in Geneva, Switzerland, Europe, 12-14 May 2020.
If you have taken your cod liver oil, or salmon oil, and are raring to go on your travels, the UK has an excellent Viking Museum in York. They found a whole Viking area when excavating for a building and eventually agreed with the developers to have an underground museum with the development on top. I remember in the Jorwik museum riding around on an underground train which allows you and the other tourists to see all the artefacts and reproduction scenes without touching and damaging them.
Norway has a Viking museum.
The Danes and the Irish have re-enactment battles if you wish to take a daily dose of cod liver oil, lubricate and limber up and demonstrate your prowess.
Viking re-enactment. All the excitement but nobody gets hurt.

Viking. British Museum, London, England.
If you are not planning on travelling to Norway or York, you can find this little fellow with his friends in the British Museum, London.
I now see cod liver oil in a whole new light. Every time I see a Viking I shall think of cod liver oil. And I shall think of salmon oil.
