Bernice Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Condensed milk = "le lait concentré sucré" - you can get it in tins and also in tubes in most supermarkets.Bernice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I was surprised to see a tin of Nestle lait concentre in Leclerc (Mayenne) when shopping last week and now banoffi pie is haunting me. Can't imagine my french friends liking it as they always think my desserts are far too sweet ! They even think my parsnip soup is too sweet and that's without sugar!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1steveuk Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Not for me you understand! We took all the stuff to make a massive Banoffe Pie for our neighbours, and now they are all hooked, so we're conducting an experiment, Banoffe made with all UK ingredients, and another with as close in French ingredients, although I can recommend substituting digestive bicuits with chocolate Hob-Nobs or even choc chip cookies!!!As it was a friend of mine (when I lived in Eastbourne) who invented the Banoffee, I daren't tell him, but as he farms now, he might not care!

Doodle Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Clair, I was surprised because as it seems impossible to get single and double cream as in the UK in my mind I'd written off getting any other type of milk/cream products. Does that mean there is a product resembling 'Carnation' evaporated milk? Ooh if there is I will now be hyperventilating on jelly and carnation ! which leads to another question, is there an equivalent for 'Rowntrees' fruit jelly. I was going to begin a regime this week but with all this talk of sweet things looks like it's on hold.................again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernice Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Does that mean there is a product resembling 'Carnation' evaporated milk? Yes - it's called "le lait concentré non-sucré". [:)]Bernice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, confused as always, are you saying that lait concentre non-sucre is the watery type you put on jelly and that WITH sucre would be the thick type you boil in the tin for banoffi pie? Just trying to distinquish between evaporated milk and condensed milk!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
