Correct.
We had condensed milk and evaporated milk. I don't know whether
my
mother used it in cooking (I remember it as a 50s/60s thing, so
I'm a bit
vague about it), we had it on, say, tinned fruit. We also had
tinned cream,
which is horrible.
And, unlike the case with other memories, time only makes it worse.
Tinned fruit with milky substance. I bet that's what they serve for
the first hundred years of purgatory.
