Yep. My mum always seemed to have a packet of this in her pantry. Although a lot of people don’t like it, I have to admit I didn’t mind it at all when I was a kid.
Not that I would necessarily make it these days…

We used it as a mouse bait. Put out in dry form and mice would eat it , then look for water. It swelled in their gut and they died. Sorry Deb Fans....
