Clotted Cream

can't recall seeing anyone putting on the cream first.

Reminds me of the Big Endians and Little Endians in "Gulliver's
Travels," arguing over which end of a hard-boiled egg should be broken
first. (The big end, of course! That where the air bubble is. ;-) )

And milk in tea (to me, as an American) just sounds revolting. Just
sugar, please, and a bit of lemon. On second thought, I'd rather have
coffee. And (I know everyone will laugh at me), I actually prefer
powdered creamer to milk or real cream or half and half in coffee.
Milk is too weak and cream too sour or something--not sure why I don't
like it. (I do love cheese, whipped cream, ice cream, and yogurt, so
it's not an aversion to dairy products in general.) And, of course,
sugar in the coffee.

Carol, who also prefers margarine to butter for the same reason, that
strange sour taste in real dairy products
