| Lee, nice to hear from you...
[Lee]:
Ah, thankee, kind Sir. :-)
[Geoff]:
| It is a particularly British delicacy, originally linked to
| the West Country
| - Somerset, Devon, Cprnwall but now quite often offered in many towns
| and villages in tea rooms etc. especially for tourists.
|
| It consists of scones, usually a couple and often fruit with
| cream, normally
| clotted cream and jam plus a drink, usually a pot of tea.
| They are very
| more-ish and dangerous to people on calorie-controlled diets.
| :-)
[Lee]:
But, but, no chocolate???? Horrors! <Look of Horror!>
Oh--well...I'll bring my own chocolate sauce to put on the fruit, or melted
chocolate to slather on the scones.
Smile,
Lee
