Live from Pawleys Island, which is not in the UK:
I prefer Cornish cream because the cows are happier there, even
happier than California cows despite what the liberal American media
would have us believe. Also, I don't care what the teamarm tells me; you should put the cream on your scone
(and please say scahn, not scohne!)
before the marmalade; otherwise
it looks nasty. Speaking of Cornish food, pasty rhymes with nasty but
doesn't taste that way, at least not when freshly made by fishwives in
St Ives and Penzance. Oh, and put the milk in your teacup before the
tea; it blends more smoothly and does not cool the tea as quickly.
Some people say to warm the milk first, but that's just wrong. OK,
next time we'll discuss the challenges in finding vegetarian fare in
pubs and why vegans should just stay on the Amurrican side of the pond.Posted by Nastinchka at June 20, 2009 01:51 PM
Your mom is becoming increasingly reminiscent of that scene in WASP where we all spoke in British accents about clotted cream for no discernable reason.
