Latest haul from the British/Irish grocery store. I’m looking forward to the clotted cream since I’ve never had it before!

clotted cream is trivially easy to make (you bake cream in the oven for a few hours) for super cheap, for future reference

I was highly disappointed in this tea. Very dusty, not a lot of high quality leaf in it. Tasted like dirt, not a good black tea at all.

You're buying cream in a jar at inflated prices and I'm the retard? They literally don't sell cream in jars in Britain. You got ripped off.

What point are you even trying to make here? What container they use is irrelevant, as is the fact that I'll obviously pay more for an imported product that's uncommon in the US. Furthermore, your use of the term "cream" instead of "clotted cream" is misleading and I daresay disingenuous, because the two are absolutely not the same.

At any rate, I'm satisfied that I got the real thing, and I'm fortunate enough to not care how much I paid for it. If your issue is that I'm not making my own clotted cream at home, again: most people don't do that anyway, and I also don't care what you think of my willingness to make or not make something from scratch.

Are we done here?

>They literally don't sell cream in jars in Britain.
Usually in chilled pots like yogurt or cottage cheese. Could be like milk except you almost never buy that much cream at once.
Clotted cream usually comes in fairly small containers, enough for scones for four people. (It freezes pretty well, unlike ordinary cream.) A large jar of it seems weird.
>>19180874
Wilkinson's preserves are pretty good, a genuine premium brand.
Heinz's baked beans are the short of using a fancy recipe yourself. That's genuinely the best product Heinz have ever made, and it's great.
Sage Derby is very much not my choice of cheese. Don't know if that specific brand is any good.
The scones will probably be disappointing. Good scones don't keep at all. You make them immediately before eating.
The other things will probably be a bit grim. Original Hula Hoops are a guilty pleasure for me, but I grew up with them.

Yeah, I've seen it smaller jars at other British grocery stores in the city where I used to live. This size was the only one they had and I accept that I probably won't get through it before it goes bad. Possibly this is only for export, but as I said in another post, I'm satisfied that this is at least a genuine product.

Honestly I bought that specific cheese because I hadn't had it before and I saw that it was English-made. I've had Cheshire, Wensleydale, Double Gloucester, and both Blue and White Stilton before and loved them all.

I'm not expecting much from frozen scones, but I didn't want to put clotted cream and fruit preserves on, like, an American biscuit (although I might do that at some point anyway). The baked beans I've had before. I put em on buttered white toast and topped with salt, black pepper, and grated mature cheddar. I also tried it with Colman's and HP, and also Worcestershire. And Geo Watkins mushroom ketchup.

anon for $5 you can buy a half gallon of heavy cream, put an inch of water in your slow cooker, put your heavy cream in a bowl and into the water bath, and in 12 hours you have more clotted cream than you'll ever know what to do with

The only thing that's odd about the jar is the thinned neck which seems like it'd be a pain in the ass to get all of the cream out, and the reduced surface area means you get less "crust" on top which some would say is the best bit. Fucking love clotted cream, I hope you enjoy it op.

Never understood the point of these foreign snack hauls. You're just buying a load of goyslop but with slightly different flavours because it's foreign. If I wanted to try a different country's cuisine I would try the actual homecooked food, not some fucking crisps and sweets.
