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.:-)
