Cream Tea Crimes

Did you know it was National Cream Tea Day on 26th June? It was started by Tiptree and Rodda's and they published the results of a recent survey of what people consider to be cream tea no-nos:

1.= Serving cream tea without jam and clotted cream (63%)

1.= Cream tea made without British ingredients (63%)

3. Matcha-inspired cream tea twists (39%)

4. Chocolate spread instead of jam (33%)

5. Whipped or squirty cream instead of clotted (32%)

6. Using poor quality ingredients (25%)

7. Coffee instead of tea (21%)

8. Cream tea without tea (19%)

9.= Savoury scones (17%)

9.= Eating a cream team on-the-go (17%)

I can't say I disagree with any of those. The most radical I've been is to use non-strawberry jam.

(Please, no posts about cream or jam first, that's a whole thread on its own 😄.)

" Cream tea made without British ingredients (63%)

"

What about the tea itself ?

Are there any actual cream tea crimes?

A burglar who leaves a cup of tea and a scone as his calling card?

Poisoned jam used to murder a love rival?

A bomb maker who mixes clotted cream in with semtex?

That reminds me I have a cream tea coming up shortly 🤔

I think the main crime is not to make it a full afternoon tea. Daintily cut sandwiches, tiny morsels of savoury pastries, fluffy scones dusted with icing sugar, jam and clotted cream, delicate cakes. All served on bone china in the withdrawing room of a country house hotel with the windows giving on to sun lit lawns.

And the waiter should wear white gloves.

Cruise ships serve excellent afternoon teas.

I think the biggest cream tea crime is to serve the tea in a mug, not a cup and saucer

I'm with you on that followed closely by no hot water in a separate jug and using tea bags 😬

I complain bitterly if there is no slice of lemon for my Earl Grey
