Elmlea instead of cream in soup and pumpkin pie

[FlamingoBingo]

DH went out to buy me cream. They had none so he asked the shop assistant if elmlea was 'real' cream - she said yes . So he bought some.

Will it be an ok substitute in my pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie recipes I'm making today?

Or do I need to go out and buy some real cream?

Anyone? I need to get cooking soon!

I'd say so. Isn't it just UHT cream? Or is it proper fake stuff? I'm sure it'll work out ok.

Flamingo bingo please do not use it! I have put it I a curry a couple of weeks ago and it left an soapy after taste. I might have got a "bad batch" one but I would hate for you to ruin a good pumpkin soup!

I think it is also high in the dangerous fats - cant remember what they are called.

oh poo, gorionine

Grr! Right, will have to see if I can drag all the children out now DH has gone to work.

my cat will testify thta he often has to make do with elmlea which he regards as rather infradig.
I use it and it never tastes any diffo incooking( and doesnt go off) so great for carbonara etc

and i ma pretty fussy about things like that normally

'Make do' with Elmlea, make do?

Chance would be a fine thing.
If my dairy needs were met I wouldn't have to abduct fish.
I'm sending m'brother to sit on the salami again until you get some proppa spooning double extra whippin' cream.

haha
god your memory is good. that was so funny

I keep notes in m'Book Of Accusation And Retribution dontcha know.
Hey! remember that funny funny time when you kept me in a cage?
Grr.

I use Elmlea in differnt things, even curries but it has never tasted soapy.

never
hwo was it?

fine, just tasted creamy. I would use real cream but i dont plan my meals and elmlea tends to have longer dates, so doesnt matter if i dont need it right away.

Have you got any philadelphia? Have used that before instead of cream in pumpkin or squash soup and it tasted lovely.
