Re: #37. Clotted cream tea -that sounds just wrong, I prefer my food clot-free thank you very much.

UMMMM... YOU are soooo wrong as regards this food item.

Clotted cream is a kindof very thick, sweet whipped cream / almost buttery. I would KILL for some, with jam and scones. These with a nice cup of tea loaded with demerara sugar make up a Cream Tea in Britain. This food delight is one HUGE reason I LOVE to go to England. SO THERE!

...about clotted cream... Clotted cream is generally served as part of a cream tea (known as a Devonshire Tea in Devon) on (warm) scones with strawberry or raspberry jam. In Devon, the cream is traditionally used instead of butter, with the jam spread on top of the cream; in Cornwall the jam is spread first because the runny substrate of Cornish clotted cream would make the Devonian method of service impossible to achieve without looking messy.
