Anyone for tea?

[Lyric]

We have hot fresh scones just out of the oven, clotted cream, strawberry jam, and good English tea.

Nummy! :9

1. That looks perfectly lovely.

[Lyric]

4. It tastes lovely too

I'd been reading a book earlier that was going on about a "cream tea" in detail, and my mouth was just watering, so I figured I'd make some for myself. Those scones are just to die for. They turned out just perfect. *drool*

[taterguy]

2. No thanks I'm drinking beer

[purr]

3. Oh that looks so good!

Making me hungry again and I just ate an hour ago :)

[Sanity Claws]

26. Didn't that poo affect your appetite?

Increased it?

[purr]

27. No..

I'm always hungry :)

5. Nothing whets my appetite like some home-made scones ....

do you have some Devon cream to go with those?

[Lyric]

7. Yep, sure do.

And strawberry jam and good English tea, too. :hi:

[TK421]

8. I know this is impossible, but could you e-mail me your scones?

just the e-mail will do nicely!

[Lyric]

10. You live in Philly?

You're within a few hours driving distance. Come and get 'em! :hi:

[Inchworm]

6. Yummy!

Thanks for the pic! Just as I had imagined :)

:yourock:

[femmocrat]

9. How elegant! But, what is "clotted cream"?

Is it like sour cream? Do you make it or buy it already made? Thanks!

:hi:

[Lyric]

11. Well you can either make it yourself or buy it

but the really good stuff is hard to find around here. So I make my own out of heavy cream, a bit of sugar and vanilla, and some whipped mascarpone cheese.

[femmocrat]

14. OMG! I can be in Morgantown in about 2 hours!

Can you save me one scone, please? :9

[Lyric]

15. I can totally save you two!

If you live that close, we really ought to do a meetup sometime. I'll make a whole batch for you to take home. :hi:

[femmocrat]

36. Yummm! It would be worth the drive, I'm sure!

:hug:

[SmokingJacket]

34. It has the texture of sour cream, but it's not sour.

In other words, manna from heaven.

[trof]

12. Ah, TEA! How lovely. How veddy civilized.

I only had 'tea' once.
It was at an inn in the Irish countryside, outside of Dublin.
Most enjoyable.

[Lyric]

13. This was our first time too

I'd been tortured by descriptions of it all day in a book that I was reading, so I decided to make it myself. :)

[trof]

16. Now I've got to look up what 'Elevenses' are. (Is?)

[Lyric]

17. This might actually qualify as "second lunch"

;) :hi:

[trof]

18. Ah. Here we are:

In the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth Realms, elevenses is a snack that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in the morning.<1> It is generally less savoury than brunch, and might consist of some cake or biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. The name refers to the time of day that it is taken: around 11 am. The word "elevenses" is seen as a little old fashioned.<1>

In this case biscuits are (of course) not the round flour things your mama made. They're 'cookies'.

[Lyric]

19. Interesting! Thank you for enlightening me.

So how do you take your tea, sir?

[trof]

22. Could you possibly marinate it in 1 1/2 ounces of Scotch whiskey?

Thank you.
:-)

[Lyric]

23. All outta Scotch. I have some rum, though.

Will that work in a pinch? :shrug:

[trof]

25. Close enough. And NO PINCHING!
