I've been exposed with the famous British afternoon snack, the cream tea by a friend of mine (well the ladies like to have coffee session like once every month where we gather around and gossiping, ;) ). A bit of description, cream tea consists of scone served with strawberry jam and topped with clotted cream, and you can have it with tea or coffee. Knowing that clotted cream originally come from Cornwall / Devon area, I was looking forward to taste and buy one when I was there a few months back. At first, my husband suggested to try them at one of the cafe in Lizard Point area, but I said to him that I came across in a cottage-style cafe somewhere in Newquay in their tourism brochure and plan to go there instead. But sadly, it was closed when we arrived there and end up having them in a modern cafe in Newquay instead.
Scone with jam and clotted cream
I bought some clotted cream as well, to try them at home with Tesco scone and already-in-the-fridge strawberry jam :) So delicious, and surprisingly enough, it is quite difficult to make your own clotted cream, and the traditional made in Cornwall recipe is also a protected designation of origin (PDO). No wonder it tastes sooooo good!
