Shifting towards fresh clotted cream and raspberry jam.
This is a traditional festive afternoon serving in England and especially the southwest region of Cornwall.
It is a Cornish Cream Tea. That’s the proper title.
Holidaymakers call in at “Teahouses”, which are usually decorated in the style you expect from a scene in a Dickens novel. Old tudor beams painted black, against rough or flowing looking walls painted white.
This is never going to be a fitness craze – that cream isn’t specially good for the health – but it’ll never disappear.
Oh tradition, oh me, oh my – when available you got to give it a try!
