Today's question is from @Rock17:

How do you have a cream tea? Devon or Cornwall way.

I had to look it up. I think I would try both. @beluga3858, how about you?

I don't speak British, sorry

 

[azurbanclucker]

Seriously do Americans not have cream tea?!

No. Tea is an English thing. We have a bit of a philosophical opposition to it after the whole rebellion incident.

 

[sourland]

Yes.

No ! Sticking with Krispy Kremes.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I don't think I'd try either, honestly

 

[azurbanclucker]

That’s not how it got its name

Wasn't it named after the person who invented it, Betty "Short cake" Johnson? She was like 4 foot 6 or something...

Angel food cake is way too light. It's made with eggs whites and sugar among other things. But never shortening. And, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. I really thought it was called short cake because of the shortening. Which, I guess is true, but not in the sense I thought. Either way, try shortcake made with shortening, it's really good and not at all like angel food or biscuits

Moral of the story: Don't question a lunch lady about food.

Or a fat girl about baking

 

[beluga3858]

Cornish every time. Just wrong to do it any other way

 

[azurbanclucker]

Yes.
