No shops have it?, Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Morrisons.

My husband has been able to obtain evaporated milk which he uses on his tin of fruit cocktail (also from Lidl).  He still likes it - hark back to his childhood in Birmingham living in back to back housing.  (Seven sisters and three brothers - although as he was the second youngest some of them had left home by then!).

For those of us who had it in childhood there is something very comforting about it! 

I remember having mashed tangerine jelly with tinned clementines swimming in evaporated milk - delicious to my childhood tastebuds and I wouldn't say no now either.

tinned peaches and evaporated milk!- often appeared in childhood

There was also a popular dessert  which was whisked evap with jelly (half quantity of water) which made a nice mousse on a biscuit base.
can't find that recipe- something similar here:

Got some from Sainsburys and cheap too, only 55p, ( bought 6 tins) Carnation is £1.39.
Still none locally at Lidl, Aldi, Tesco, Morrisons and Asda.
Something wrong there.
