?

my teeeth hurt just reading that !!

have had to go back into my online tesco order to add a squeezy bottle of condensed milk for my coffee

4 pounds of sugar???

Thank you for that Jaynehater and MrsBadger

Only the Scots could come up with a recipe that contains nothing but condensed milk, butter and 4lbs (4lbs??!!) of sugar. [proud]

Coming next week -

Why lard is a main course all in itself.

At least you made use of the other half first! When I was pregnant, I decided to make a banoffi pie. It called for around three quarters of a tin, so I decided to eat the quarter first and then use what was left. BIG mistake. I couldn't stop eating and scoffed the whole bloody tin. All 1500 calories I didn't dare go out to the shop to buy another tin as I know damned fine that I would have scoffed a second tin as well....

pmsl

Why does condensed milk not explode when you boil it in the tin?

Why does condensed milk not explode when you boil it in the tin?

oops

I would like to know that too, Pania.
It says on the tin that it might, though, so I am nervous when I make toffee that way.

Sometimes it does explode - you just have to be careful and pray to whom ever you pray that your kitchen does not become a sticky mess.

(My mum once opened a can of treacle sponge wrong end first - condensed milk is much worse)

FWIW I prefer Evaporated milk in strawberry jelly

yum!

There was a dent in the ceiling of one of the student kitchens at my college where a hapless overseas student had boiled a tin of something and it exploded.
There was a notice by every cooker about it.

Keep topping the water up - and don't open it right away, either, as sometimes it can do a Vesuvius number on you.

Evaporated milk on suet pudding ... yum

Oh Lordy, condensed milk.

Daren't even buy it in.

Another bad habit inherited from my father.

lol

Yick! are you guys serious...Condensed Milk...gross

condensed milk is the dog's doodahs on top of a bowl of cornflakes.

I would never dream...it is so thick and gross...no offense...but I think this is another one of those cultural differences.

Haven't had time to read the whole post but when I lived at home my mum used to but condensed milk for the cats and I found out that if you put it on ice cream it turns solid like that 'ice magic' stuff - not sure if that's useful or not to you

oh, to clarify, that's not instead of the milk!! A drizzle on top.

Never tried it but it sounds quite nice .

MyTwopenceworth,

That sounds a little better, than what I though you were saying.

What are you, Winnie the Pooh? Who gets cravings for condensed milk?

Yes, I figured you thought I meant chug half a can on instead of the milk!

Nooo. semi skimmed milk and a drizzle of the other on top. It is delish.

God,I bloody love condensed milk.
I never eat crap but this is one instance when I lose all reason.
