The clotted cream is lovely in or on cakes but the custard is for puddings like xmas pudding,spotted dick pudding and sponge pudding's etc and very nice.

The version we had was sort of like ice cream just not very sweet. It was definitely served cool. At first because it wasn’t sweet, I wasn’t sure I liked it, but like I said, it grew on me.

Oh no, you know how well I do with some of those British concoctions.

On Freedom in June out of Barcelona the new cooked room service breakfast had real British bacon and runny fried eggs,loved it.

I only ordered it to freak my DW out. I knew what it was basically. It was nice. She was wondering what nasty thing was coming out and she ended up eating some of it.

 

Of course, we had white bait for an appetizer too. I thought that was funny eating bait instead of fish.

 

Kind of a fried fresh anchovies.

The clotted cream is always cold whereas the custard is always hot.

Saw him in Glasgow a few years ago. We were at a cruise get together and someone come in with 10 tickets, so we bought them. We were the oldest in the crowd.

If you have that disease, you have some place you shouldn't have been
