Does any one recall brand names of Condensed milk (the thick gloopy
sweet white stuff) that used to come in tins about 2/3 the height of
stand baked bean type tins. This would have been around 50 years ago.
My recollection was of a mainly white label with possibly blue writing
on it but I just can't summon up a name.

It's still sold (IIRC, in the home baking section) of TescOS,
Morrisons, etc.


Proved quite useful a few weeks back when our milkmen could get to us due
to the snow,possibly he could not get to his depot as it is 20 miles away.
Eventually we got to our nearest small town but no normal milk was to be
found ,many people were having a grumble. Quick look at the cooking section
of the only supermarket ,a CoOp and there plenty of condensed milk on the
shelf.
Purchased a couple and once home diluted some with water and used it .
Sweeter than normal milk especially for people like us who dont take sugar
in tea or coffee but better than nothing, excellent for the porridge which
I usually sweeten with honey and it made a nice rice pudding.
