Clotted cream or similar in the Bay Area
Hey
We are having a party next week (no sorry you aren't all invited) and I am planning to make some English food items and one of them was going to be scones with jam and cream. Does anyone know where I can buy clotted cream or something very similar - preferably in the Bay Area? Im sure I've seen it somewhere since I moved here, but can't find it anywhere now I want some
Thanks

Thanks, I have a Lunardis and Mollie Stones nearby, no Raleys near to me.
It's possible it was in these stores I saw it as I used to shop in them lots.
Now I just need to work on my scone recipe

I think Bel-Air and Raley's are operated by the same corporation, so you might have luck there.
A long shot would be trying John Campbell's Irish Bakery on 16th and De Haro. They have a small but good quality selection of British and Irish goods, but if they don't have it, at least their jam roles are delicious.
I have a professor that has an affinity for pork pies that recommended another place that sells goods in SOMA, but I can't for the life of me recall the name or exact location, sorry.
The only other thing I can think of possibly being of any help would be some of the trendier overpriced supermarkets, like Whole Foods.

Oooh
I just got back from two weeks in England (weather was gorgeous BTW) and I spent 5 days in Cornwall. I was with a bunch of Americans who wanted to try all the 'local' stuff so we had a pasty for lunch every day and had quite a few cream teas. They really were quite taken with the clotted cream; I am sure it will be a hit at your party.
When you find it, let me know where it is so I can do some cream teas at my house. On a slightly less positive note, I seem to have put on at least 5 lbs - too much clotted cream and pasties me thinks.

Re: Clotted cream or similar in the Bay Area
do they have harris teeter grocery stores there?
Our local ones sell it, very pricey though.
When I make scones, I use jam but just use heavy whipping cream, whipped up, its cheaper and still tastes yummy when everything is sandwiched together
I use any leftover cream to make an eton mess, which everyone always enjoys

Me too. I'm a bit of a meringue fiend actually =P I had my first ever attempt at a raspberry pavlova whilst I was over there and it actually came out quite well
