Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Sorry if this has been posted before but we went to Halifax for a day trip on Saturday. We went to Pete's in Bedford on the way home to pick up a few treats - Scotch eggs, Pork Pies, Tin of Irn Bru etc :thumbsup:

I was mooching around the fridges and spotted Clotted cream in a jar!!!

OH MY EFFING JEFFING GAWD!!! I said with a bit too much excitement :rofl:
(being from Stoke this is actually pronounced Fuh kee nell :rofl:)

It cost 5.99 for a small jar which is as to be expected a bit pricey but as a treat certainly worth it :p

I also discovered that Canadians pronounce Scones (rhymes with bones) properly :p

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

How does 'tea biscuit' rhyme with bone? :lol:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Since when did anyone from Stoke know anything about pronouncing things properly? :rolleyes:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

For a minute there I thought you meant the proper, amazing, beautiful fresh stuff lol! (Be still my heart)...

Nice find!

:D

yeah I use to buy that when I lived there. It was the closest thing in thickness I could find to extra thick double cream which they do here in UK.

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I miss Tescos finest extra thick cream on my aunts homemade scones with butter and strawberry jam

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Sobeys does some nice "British" scones.

Old Style British Scones is the label according to a thread from a couple of years ago.

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Sobeys does a Devon style thick cream - I say Devon style because I seem to recall the label saying it was manufactured somewhere like Wiltshire.

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Can you get Tubby Custard over here?

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Funnily enough the same producer does double cream and Creme fraiche here. My GF spotted it in Sobeys yesterday! :thumbsup:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

My wife makes a reasonable clotted cream substitute. A similar recipe is here https://theviewfromgreatisland.com/h...clotted-cream/

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

It wont compete with anything that you would find in a farm shop in the South West of England but certainly nice to have :nod:

I have thought about making it before but its something that I have never quite got around to....Still on the ever increasing to do list :p

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Im going to have a bash at this too :thumbsup:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I actually had to google what that was :rofl:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Thats the same producer - it comes from Melksham, Wilts. Still the West Cunry :p

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Which one?

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I realize it rather dates me. :lol:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I googled in then realized d'euh of course I know what it is!!! Those were the days! 😱

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Not a person that liked 'clotted cream'. Any of you tried sour cream on fruit or fruit pie...works for me

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I've put Gay Lea Gold Premium (18%) sour cream on weetabix before, lol. It's as thick as the extra thick double cream back in the UK, with a slightly citrus flavour... it was ummm different!

It's the only sour cream I like.

:)

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

The one on Vaughan Harvey just south of Main St had the double cream. GF seems to think that its worth looking at the one at Champlain Mall for the clotted as they have a larger dairy and deli section. I am not a fan of Sobeys but they are starting to win me over :p:rofl:

They had sold out of Scones but GF was told you can ring the day before and they will bake them for you :thumbsup:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Never tried this - usually have sour cream with savoury dishes. Creme fraiche in scrambled eggs is delicious :thumbsup:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Not been to the VH one for a while. I'm always looking for surprises but never seen anything other than the usual creams.

Time to check again. :nod:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Not a sniff :(

Not in Dairy, deli, cheese, yogurt, butter, other drinks, not in gluten free nor extra gluten, not in international...nowhere to be seen :(

Where was it?

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

Double Cream at Vaughan Harvey: As you go through the door the produce is directly in front of you. Turn left towards the checkouts and the first aisle is deli counters. About halfway up on the left. If you get to the cheese counter you have gone too far :lol:

Creme Fraiche at Champlain Mall: Its on the top of the stand alone cheese cabinet near the cake counter.

Good luck :thumbsup:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I shall try again :thumbup:

Re: Clotted Cream in NS!!!
 

I can't get it in Fredericton. I got all excited and rushed off to both Sobeys' but not a sniff either.
