Tinned cream...

Pollybear

I bought some at Christmas so I had spare when I couldn't cram anything else into the fridge/freezer and I still like it! Hadn't had it for years. Got mine from Asda.

I'm sure I've seen this cream in Farm Stores if you have a branch near you.

You can get it from Morrisons - I bought some to make Black Saturn's ice cream. I think it's about 50p a tin, it's not dear.

As I was born during WW2, I never tasted cream until visiting my future sister in law in 1960. She always served Nestles tinned cream for Sunday tea. Tinned fruit along with bread and butter.Just recently I found 3 different products on the shelf in a Swedish supermarket: Nestles sterilised cream, condensed milk, used ti be fussels in England, and evaporated milk,which is still sold freely in the UK. I had a go at making an Ohio steamed pudding from a wartime cook book and with the tinned cream, it was truly delicious.Would love to know where one could buy the cream as apposed to condensed milk in UK

Just happen to have 4 tins in the cupboard for . . . . emergencies :rotfl:

I remember that cream-used to love it.We also used to have the Fussels condensed milk which was lovely on raspberries, and evaporated milk.We never had fresh cream from a carton.

We didn't have Tip-Top. My grandmother used to thicken the cream from silver top milk by putting it in a beaker then using a plastic plunger-type device-I think I've seen them in Lakeland.

I think it was sterilised cream too but not had it for ages. Used to love it with those tinned Cadbury Chocolate steamed puddings. Yummy comfort foods

Home Bargains always have Nestle tinned thick cream

I remember Nestle thick cream in a tin. Ours was in a smallish flat tin, like what they use to can tuna.
I used to love to shake it and eat it with tinned sliced peaches, when I was a child.
