VAPORATED MILE
Of course if a rice pudding is pale blue in colour and the rice is all swimming round, people will get up from the -table and think unjust things about rice puddings.
But if your rice pudding is made with Milkmaid Evaporated Milk it will be creamy in colour-neither too thick nor too thin-and people who do not usually like rice pudding will eat it rather eagerly.
Milkmaid Evaporated Milk is pure country milk con- centrated to the consistency of cream. It improves all milk puddings 100%.
