Geoff:
The article is fairly accurate except that I think it was written by a 
Publicity Officer in the pay of Cornwall..... :-)

Cream teas are very much a part of tradition especially in the West 
Country counties of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, the latter being 
the county in which I now live.

Basically, you cut a scone in half, spread some strawberry or 
raspberry jam on it and then a thick layer of clotted cream on top. 
Eat slowly and enjoy....
