We also used to make our own from time to time, but it was using the milk from her dairy. My understanding is that Cornwall learnt about clotted cream from the Phoenicians, but how much of that is myth I'm not sure. My lips remain firmly sealed as to the best clotted cream and the best cream teas ;-)Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007920158148137373.post-82021014639823159542012-07-18T17:57:22.592+01:002012-07-18T17:57:22.592+01:00Hi Elaine,
