For about a year in 2008-ish, the Nestl! tin had 'previously known as Fussel's' printed on it. It tastes exactly the same as Fussel's as well. I think you can also get tins from supermarkets marked as Sterilised Cream, but they seem to have a slightly different taste (still nice though ). If you whisk it up with jelly and leave it to set in the fridge, it makes a lovely mousse for kids and it has far fewer funny ingredients than the supermarkets' versions. Similar texture to Angel Delight but much nicer flavour. (well, if you like jelly and ice cream, that is)

My mum was more of a Tip-top person when I was a kid. That and St Ivel powdered milk, which she always made up with more water than reccommended to make it go further (shudder).

On a similar note, if you like UHT milk, there is a particular brand in Sainsburys in a bottle shape rather than a carton, and it is even nicer in coffee than standard UHT!


Summer/Autumn - peaches and cream. Jelly and cream.
Winter - peach crumble and cream.
Spring - OMG! I am so fat! No More Cream!

carnation extra thick cream is perfect for making home made ice cream. It is delish. doesn't keep long, but taste so yummy that it doesn't need to. ( not sure if she on here anymore but it was black saturns recipe)

Nestle sterilised cream in the blue tin.

We used to have a blob on the top of jelly made in those tiny little pleated paper cases for birthday teas. Usually two colours of jelly, some with cream and some plain for those who didn't like the cream.

Aww!

I remember my mum and dad buying a cream maker; at the Ideal Home exhibition, or something. It was supposed to make cheap cream from unsalted butter and...probably milk. Tasted good to us, but we had also been brought up on Carnation. They stopped using it when fresh cream became a bit less of an exotic rarity, and it became at least as expensive to MYO.

Oh we had one of those! It had a plunger thing on top that you had to pump up and down and the cream dripped slowly out of the bottom into a glass jug. We all took turns as it really made your arm ache. It always came out on Christmas Eve to make cream to have on the christmas pud the next day.

I keep a couple of tins of cream and a packet of small meringue shells in my cupboard. Grandchildren love them and it's cheaper than buying cream cakes.
