<p>[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 11655, member: 103"]Manson's comfort your imaginings with this: while indeed it may be possible to create a very good cream tea here, is is NOT possible to make the perfect one. When I first wnet to England, I was told not to have a cream tea until I was in Devon. (And as you described, right down to the violets it was!) And also, to not have a pasty until I was in Cornwall. Also excellent advice. Quite tolerable substitutes can be found, but the real thing is...is...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!</p><p><br /></p><p>Sort of like there is nothing wrong with Pizza Hut Pizza if you've never had one from Sally's or Frank Pepe's.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
