Nothing, so long as it isn't all you eat - but people buy sandwiches for lunch, and this one is a bit low on protein. There's a restaurant here whose signature dish is deep-fried jam sandwich with Carnation ice cream, but I think you're supposed to have a main course first. |

Shoppers can also enjoy a "fish finger butty" and a "posh corned beef and pickle" sandwich in the limited edition range.
I dread to think what the economy sandwiches are like.

That's a relief. I thought from the title that this was going to be about one of those local delicacies.

I've often suspected that the kulfi served in the cheap and cheerful Indian restaurants round here is made from Carnation. It seems to taste like it...and is really rather good. |

Well, milk thickened and sweetened by having a lot of the water evaporated off is a main ingredient in Indian sweets - you see roadside sweet vendors in India with large shallow pans doing the evaporating - and that's what Carnation is (we used to call it 'evap' when I was a child and cream was unheard of).
So it wouldn't be surprising if the taste of your kulfi was similar, or even if they cut corners and opened a tin.
It's the cardamoms that make the difference, though!

Ah - thanks Jean.
I say that protein is over-rated. Let's hear it for jellie sarnies for lunch and a pudding without a main course.
You know you want it; why spoil it by filling up with the meat (nut roast) and two veg?

You mean kulfi isn't supposed to taste like it's made from Carnation? I thought that was its standard secret ingredient. A worthy Relic of Empire. |
