Hamish Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 And on this mornings “Today” program remember we had the debate ages ago. Seems Sainsbury’s took heed of our discussion and went with the correct route of fruit scone then cream then jam on top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Cobbold Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Where is this "Cornwall" place, is it important ? I have heard of a Duchess of Cornwall so it must be somewhere, but surely not part of civilised society if all they eat is scones and pasties. And they have, I'm told, forgotten how to speak their language, how careless. Muted by mouthfulls of goo ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Robson Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Every year I take a short holiday at a splendid hotel overlooking the sea, near Truro in Cornwall. They serve a magnificent afternoon tea - and get this controversy absolutely right. Every day they provide a heaped plate of scones, a large pot of clotted cream, and two pots of jam (one Strawberry, one of Raspberry). After this it is up to greedy sods like me to make my own 'what goes on first' decisions.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great work done in Cornwall https://www.nationallobsterhatchery.co.uk but then something had to be done - good eating sized lobster has taken years if not many decades to grow.

SuzanneH Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Well, I will just leave this here: You cannot compare a Lobster from anywhere else in the world to a Fresh Cornish Lobster. You should try my recipe for Lobster Newburgh, copied from a Scottish Chef working in Marhamchurch,Cornwall back in about 1973. Very simple cheese sauce, plenty of Brandy in the cheese sauce and lobster meat. Edited April 28, 2021 by SuzanneH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly I must try this if I'm ever allowed to travel freely to the UK again... Lobsters here are from our east coast; PEI and Nove Scotia. My personal favourite is buying them direct from the lobster boats and eating them entirely by hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have had Maine Lobster on Newport Beach California which wasn’t as great as cracked up to be. Antiguan Lobsters, that have no claws, are good too but come from The North Atlantic Coast of Antigua which must make all the difference. I find Scottish and Welsh lobsters although good are not as good as the Cornish ones. Your Canadian ones look fab. Edited April 28, 2021 by SuzanneH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 For me, Welsh cakes, and bara brith. the latter well buttered. Am not happy with plundering the sea for food, but neither am I wiling to avoid fish. We are told that farming animals makes a large and important contribution to GHGs and CC and that we all need to become veggies. In that case the attraction of a diet of scones and cakes may then pall, especially without diary products to embellish. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I heard a discussion on the radio between a vegan and a dairy farmer a while ago. The farmer made a very good point when he said that cattle are very good at turning stuff we humans can't digest into stuff that we can. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
