A clotted cream tea is what you call a Devonshire tea when you aren't in Devon - scones, jam and clotted cream, served with tea or coffee - it isn't a cup of tea with clotted cream in it!

Nice blog - I saw you on the Foodie Blogroll.

Btw, if I've had goulash (goulache), I'm certain that you've had it too.
