Think it's something to do with the casein in the milk reacting with the lime often used in a Victorian tile.
Think it's mentioned in Spons workshop receipts published in the 1800s!

When washing up, I often wonder whether you could use mashed potato or bean juice as a tile https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/, as they normally dry, harden and stick to plates and bowls like s*** to a blanket.

But condensed milk.... never heard of that one. But its fun to hear some of the old techniques and would love it if this was a true fact. Although wouldn't try it personally.

My elderly neighbour used to use Baileys in coffee instead of milk or cream...
