Evaporated milk is issued only during the autumn and winter when supplies of liquid milk are seasonally low.
It will then be possible to consider how far supplies of evaporated milk might be made available to the producer-retailers affected.
The programme provides for the canning of the same quantity of evaporated milk as last year.
Considerable supplies of evaporated milk are available on points, but we cannot afford to make a point-free allocation to caterers this year.
These arrangements have worked satisfactorily in general, and are combined with a rationing system covering tea, sugar and evaporated milk.
For example, we can now get the unsweetened evaporated milk once again in the shops but the points price of that milk has doubled.
Producer-retailers in country districts have not so far been called upon to surrender any part of their liquid milk, and have not been entitled to supplies of evaporated milk.
Eggs, sugar and evaporated milk are used in the waffle recipes, giving them a sweet flavor.
