comment Is there an alternative to condensed milk?
My guess is it's regional. Where I live evaporated milk is usually labelled in blue. But googling it with its English name shows many cans with red labels.

comment bread flour strength?
@SAJ14SAJ Last week I saw a "home-use" package of flour labelled "cake strong flour". It was the first time I've seen one, but I'm glad the manufacturers are distinguishing those two types.

W is directly proportional to flour strenth. Protein percentage is related, but not necessarily directly correlated: not all proteins are glutenin and gliadin, not all flours have the same ratio of them, and flour can have other components that make them stronger of weaker (such as ascorbic acid).

@SAJ14SAJ Knowing there's something called W value is quite helpful, even if you can't read its value in flour packages. Where I live it's neither printed in consumer flours (often neither in "industrial" packages). But if you ask the manufacturers they are usually willing to give that data.
