<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 453342, member: 56"]I suppose you could use it for either, but I think 'condensed' would be more common. Condensed milk has a massive concentration of added sugar, which acts as a preservative (counter-intuitive to my mind) that allows for shelf storage. My grandfather used it in his tea all the time. I'll bet my grandmother had this kind of server, which would have held the can, but I honestly can't remember.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
