Magpie:
Cream teas, or as I like to call them "Food of the Gods."
I first had it in Cornwall and never looked back. I can't imagine
making the clotted cream, probably because it was so impressed on me
it had to be Cornish. Even swapping out clotted cream from Devonshire
was iffy for some people.:-)
