Rare jam19872016 Posted March 21 Author #876 Share Posted March 21 Today is Mexican day in the buffet. Not a fan of Mexican food but I'm gonna take a look. If my mom is still recouping I may go get my coffee first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my mom is still recouping I may go get my coffee first. I always like the chicken fajitas, guacamole, pico de gallo, flour tortillas and a cold cerveza or two. Yum, yummy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriends and I frequently visit a tea room in NY and there is no shortage of clotted cream. It is more of a thing that is made fresh so I doubt anyone would want to import the stuff sold in jars anyway. I have no problem getting Devon Clotted Cream from Amazon or my local Whole Foods. It has a short shelf life, even sealed. I can't remember if its as good as I had in the UK - its been too long, and my taste buds, like my hearing, have worn out.

Yum, yummy. I'm just not a big Mexican food person. The burritos were good but could have benefited from some salsa which I did not see any available unless I went to the nacho stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I https://www.foodrepublic.com/1369939/what-is-clotted-cream-illegal-united-states/ Technically it is not clotted cream since it is made with pasteurized milk, although maybe that would be splitting hairs.

So, is Stilton Cheese forbidden? Some (though not all) of that is made with unpasteurised milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say yes although I would imagine they likely just pasteurize it and sell it as Stilton anyway like they do with clotted cream. Like the wines they sell with added preservatives that alter the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted March 21 Author #887 Share Posted March 21 Not hotter than the last few ports but I'm lacking the energy to go back out today even though I would like to wander since I always dock at one of the other two piers. Enjoying my coffee now then will get some steps in at the gym in lieu of going back outside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Stilton, which I eat quite a lot, I can’t tell the difference between pasteurised and not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
