I absolutely love a real cream tea down in Devon, Cornwall or Somerset.
Gotta be clotted cream and strawberry jam.
BUT BUT BUT do you put the cream on first or the jam? We usually holiday with a big group of about 30 down in this area of England most years and we are pretty split over that question!
I am jam first, then cream myself.
Also love Roast dinners (both beef with yorkshire puddings, pork with its wonderful crackling and lamb with a good mint sauce). And I LOVE good roast potatoes and roast parsnips.
And sheperds pie, cottage pie, toad in the hole all firm favourites.
And a jacket spud (baked potato) with butter, cheese and baked beans.
Mmmmm mmmmmmm
Meagan, I have also enjoyed summer pudding - a wonderful dessert when done well though when not done well it can be sooooo disappointing.
I am feeling quite hungry now!
Never had the faggots meatball things or ox tongue though

Scones, clotted cream and jam--any jam! Kavey: I'm a cream then jam girl, myself! Never met one I didn't like.
The chicken/ham/mushroom pot pie at the White Lion in Covent Garden (just outside the tube stop--go upstairs). Wild game terrine starter at La Bon Vie in Edinburgh, apple pastries smothered in vanilla frosting at the little shop directly across from the Earl's Court tube stop (WHY can't I ever remember the name???)
Soups--any soups and all soups that I've had anywhere in London.
Huge steaming bowls of noodles and veggies at Jenny Lo's near Victoria Station.

Am I the only one who likes bangers and mash with a good dark ale? I also like shepherd's pie. High tea is wonderful--I too like jam first and then cream Kavey. The last time I enjoyed a real tea was in Bermuda. Look forward to having it again in London.

We enjoyed the spotted dick too - were laughing so hard we could barely get the order out. Disappointed that it was only bread pudding... And, then anything with blackberries; and definitely jam first, then the cream; all that wonderful cheese....they definitely get a bum rap.
