cream teas
Devon afternoon treat
Cream teas are a British afternoon refreshment consisting of tea served with scones, clotted cream, and jam.
The tradition is particularly associated with Devon and Cornwall, where fierce debate persists over whether cream or jam goes on the scone first.
We stopped at a tearoom for cream teas after our walk along the coast.
