Does anyone know if it's possible to buy tinned evaporated milk here? I know they sell condensed milk but I need the evaporated kind for a cheesecake.

Also, do they sell shortcrust pastry here, I can only find savoury pastry in premade packs.

they have evaporated milk at casa china in chinatown...if you don't see it, ask one of the workers - i think they move it around from time to time, but last time i bought it, it was next to the peanut butter...

You can also get it in LIniers where there is a Bolivian market with plenty of spices and other delicacies.

Enjoy!

It was available when I first arrived 2.5 years ago. But I haven't seen it in about 1.5 yrs, even in Chinatown I haven't seen it. Lala, have you seen it in Chinatown recently?

If you are desperate, I did have a can or two brought from the states. If you need it, I'll be willing to sacrifice it to the cheesecake Gods

On another note has anyone got any ideas what happened to the packets of faina? they seem to have vanished from all supermarkets.

Mini, I bought it to make macaroni salad for a Labor Day (US) party back in Sept...I really really hope I didn't buy one of the last cans!

I saw evaporated milk in one of the Barrio Chino stores as recently as last month. I think they are 18 pesos a can, could be more by now. Good luck.

To be honestly I haven't looked in a while as I have those two cans. But they were out of stock for a while. I'm glad they are back! I can use my "stash" now or give one to Kirst. lol.

They know their market.

PS- Don't go to Liniers unless that is one of your usual haunts. We may never hear from you again.
