As children, we would often share a can of the sweet, sticky liquid spooning straight from the tin. Our Mum used to make a condensed milk mayonnaise which was made with malt vinegar and mustard powder. Delicious! Try it with mashed hard boiled eggs and snipped chives along with shredded iceberg lettuce for your next egg sandwich.
