Tinned cream...

annaangeluk_2

When I was a kid my mum used to buy this tinned cream stuff that you had to shake in the tin to make it thick before serving. My sister always called it "dollop cream" and now none of us can remember what it was called!!

Does anyone know the actual name of this stuff and where to get it?! I thought it was tip top but my mum is adamant that it's not that!

Any ideas greatly appreciated because it's driving us mad!!

Thanks in advance

Condensed milk perhaps, bit like carnation but thicker. My mum used to feed me that in my bottle:eek:. No wonder I was refered to "The well ate herself child":o

Was it Fussells? If it isn't, I stillI know what you mean - my Grandma used to have it - we called it 'blob' cream!!

Taken from the Nestle website - sorry don't know how to do a link but says:

"CARNATION LIGHT CONDENSED MILK
For all you loyal Fussell’s fans, you are probably wondering what has happened to it. Well, it has simply taken on a fresh new look and is now called Carnation Light Condensed Milk. The recipe has not changed at all, so it is just as tasty as it always has been. And, because it is made with skimmed milk, you can afford to treat yourself, friends and family with delicious but lighter desserts and sweet treats"

In Home Bargains yesterday I picked up a tin of Nestles Caranation extra thick cream. The tin looks different to the one shown in the pic, but I'm pretty sure its the same thing.

I was reminiscing about this myself the other day, Tip Top was invented in the 80's I think, we were 60's kids so our cream was Nestles in a blue and white tin. We didn't have fresh cream because we didn't have fridges and freezers. It tasted great on tinned fruit salad, it's a wonder we haven't all got scurvey LOL.

is it steralised cream - you have to shake that, as it tends to seperate in the tin

funnily enough, i was trying to find this in the shops the other day, and could only find tiptop, which i think is the same as evaporated milk, which is too runny. much prefer the steralised dollop sort

It is definitely sterilised cream - I get it in Sainsburys - it is really thick and has a sort of strange, not unpleasant taste, which I like. It is now sold as Carnation as Nestles have now taken over Fussel's. I used to make my Mum buy it when I was young because they always had it in Enid Blyton books!

Yep, sterilised cream it is, definitely!! I remember it very well. Came in a wee half sized tin, blue and white. Can't remember the makers though. We used to have it with tinned peaches, my goodness it was spectacular.
