Horlicks drink

Tonight I tried Horlicks for the first time. It was at a late night Chinese restaurant. I asked for Ovaltine, but they said they ran out. They said they did have "Horlicks" though. "What's that taste like?" "It's...uh..." "It doesn't have caffeine right?" "Right." "OK, I'll take the Horlicks."

It's alright - it's kind of weird. It's kind of like weak Ovaltine, with a definite barley-like undertaste. It was also quite cheap ($1.50). I may order it again in the future, if only for the cheapness factor.

Horlicks is evidently a big thing in India.
