Can you get condensed milk in tubes?

Can you get condensed milk in tubes?

You used to be able to but not seen it in the shops for quite sometime?

 

[Greg]

Is there not a saying - "Once you try black, you never go back"?


I like though to take the 'acid edge' off my coffee with a tiny amount of 'nut juice' ( love that expression!).
Maybe soup spoon of it.

So what you are saying Janne is that you like Black Nut Juice

Over the last year or so I have moved away from consuming milk (in trying to lose a bit of weight) and have been drinking Mint tea and also Lemon & Ginger tea... Those will be my go to hot drinks on bushcamp outings and require zero milk of any kind.
However I am still partial to Hot Chocolate.... And mixing chocolate powder in with oat porridge is the bees knees

I'm pretty sure you can still get it at selected supermarkets. I've definitely seen it in Tesco

 

[Bishop]

Singleportions.co.uk is worth a visit for UHT sachets if you cannot find anything locally.
Personally I go for the tins of Nido powder though finding these on the shelves of Tesco can also be a hit & miss affair.

Hahaha!
No, thank the Gods!

Btt: it is weird how the taste we develop as yoing stay with us, and are very difficult to change.

In restaurant food supply places you can find those small portion milk, cream, drinks ’whitener’ portion packs.
Unfortunately they come in quite large boxes.

I buy our sugar that way.

Condensed milk in a tube, take it with me whenever i go out.

Its in the bakery bit usually.

 

[Robson Valley]

Buy a few reusable squeeze tubes where you buy camping supplies.
Good for all sorts of gooey squeezable things. Mayo, condensed milk, bacon fat, etc.
They are a real booger to wash out.

Another vote for Nido powdered milk. It works well with muesli.

 

[Janne]

You might find a product called Dulce de leche ( caramel?) if you venture into a shop or supermarket that caters for ethnic minorities.

It is fantastic in coffee. A must in Banoffi pie.

The Nestle La Lechera brand has it in a squeezeable plastic bottle.

"Coffee Mate" 180g 'tub' at Poundland (guess how much)

1 teaspoon to 100ml of water makes up 'milk'
Add a couple of tea-spoons to a 300ml mug of tea for 'normal strength tea with milk'.

Normally has about a 12 month Best Before date.
Keep it on the boat, keep it at home and keep some in the rucksack*

*Keep a small sealed tub with 8 tea-spoons of 'milk', 4 Tea Bags and some sweetener tabs (I am diabetic so no sugar) and Robert's your mother's brother.
A few mugs of tea always available,

Coffee Mate has some interesting chemistry!

Here it comes in various flavours. The Americanos love various chemical flavours!

 

[Fadcode]

Just have a beer, solves everything

 

[Billy-o]

Yes, more Nido votes

It is milk, dried. Add water and it becomes milk. Can you get it in the UK? Also, as an aside, dried coconut powder is good to make a milk from (or a thai curry )

 

[Janne]

I have never understood how it is possible to get the milk fat dry plus make it so it does not turn rancid.

Yes - coffee mate has never seen a cow.
Main ingredients :
Glucose Syrup, Palm Kernel Oil, Milk Proteins, Stabilisers.

I am pretty choosey about 'tastes' and must say, Coffee Mate (whilst not being as good as fresh milk) is quite acceptable and better than 'sterilised milk'
