Sandrita Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 What would the can say in Spanish for "condensed milk?" Not evaporated. Muchas gracias.
Griffin Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 The difference between them s that condensed milk is sweetened condensed milk. Without the added sugar in the condensed milk, it is evaporated milk. Both are in the same areas of the grocery store. Literal translation is " la leche condensada azucarada."
More Liana Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 La Lechera...it's the brand name, but when you see a recipe that calls for sweetened condensed milk, 99% of the time the recipe calls for "una latita de La Lechera" or "media taza de La Lechera" or "échale un chorrito de La Lechera arriba del postre". The baked sweet potato and banana sellers on Mexico's street always ask, "Le pongo un chorrito de La Lechera?" It's like saying, "Give me a Kleenex," when you really mean you want any kind of tissue to blow your nose--a generic use of a proper noun.
Toltepeceno Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Exactly right, ask for leche condensada or la lechera for sweetened condensed. Mmmmm, la lechera has me thinking about arroz con leche.
