Once I put a can of spaghetti on my kid's pizza, so not only was it so far removed from Italy that it was in Antarctica - it was also nutritionally inexcusable.

GUYS, i didn't realise I wasproviding a safe haven for all you "Impurist" chefs out there!
lets keep at it.
You know, the only "real" food, in my humble opinion, is the ability to cook a damn meal with stuff you have in the fridge.
HOOORAHH!

I make recipes up sometimes.( Deep shame.) Sometimes they are great, and sometimes not. Isn't experimenting the way new recipes evolve!Hasn't that happened over the centuries! Isn't that old saying that "variety is the spice of life" not true!

Gawd, imagine if the whole "purist" way was still the right way.
At some stage in history, someone added fried bananas to pancakes, bacon, and maple syrup.

Tee hee. I think this thread is wonderful. It is wonderful to see you all have a wonderful sense of wonderful humour which has been so sadly lacking. I too have many wonderful un-authentic recipes using sweetened condensed milk.
Sweetened condensed milk is the most wonderful ingredient for everyone wanting to make un-authentic recipes.
May I just say that you can use this ingredient in scone dough to make your wonderful un-authentic pizza.
And like elli says, this is also the first thread that I have feltcompletely safe in. I'm sure that my friends who love the myriad of things that can be made with sweetened condensed milk will have the same wonderful sense of safety and security and will feel free to post without any rancour from others.

how can you make caramel slice without the EVILNESS of sweetened condensed milk.
(not to mention the evilness of sticking your finger in the almost empty tin and sucking on the pure abomination of sugary goodness)
PS i don't think I am ever going to be thin

Wow, fan mail! Thanks Mazzy. That recipe is great. I make it alot too. You don't need to have exactly the right ingredients and even though it is a banana chocolate yogurt cake, I have been know to leave out the bananas and use peaches instead. I survived and still called it a banana chocolateyogurt cake but added the fact it had no bananas and was laced with peaches. Nobody was hurt in the production or eating of this cake. It has also been made in muffin tins or a loaf tin and the name slightly modified to suit if it was deemed important enough. However no one seemed to care whether it was really a cake or a loaf or a muffin. It has even been made using two tins and then we simply called them . (wait for it).cakes.

Oh it is so evil to keep the tin all to yourself. I think that less should be used in the recipe so that more can be saved to share around the family.

You could consider putting a huge dash of SWCM in your gwockamoly. It would send it into gourmet territory imo.

Oh I like this thread and have the urge to confess. My lasagne is never made with cheese sauce!I just don't bother putting it in at all. Just use layers of meat sauce, sauteed onions, garlic & vegetables, (whatever is in the fridge), tonight it was carrots, courgettes, eggplant and a quarter of a red capsicum and a big bunch of silverbeet from the garden, and sheets of lasagne pasta out of a box. To get a bit of a cheese fix I top with grated cheese and grill.Totally unauthentic and Totally Delicious!

This is about what WE do - not about how it can be improved. What is SWCM anyways!
