Talking of etiquette, traditionally scones should NEVER be cut with a knife (it apparently destroys some of the fluffy texture). The knife is for spreading the jam and cream. To split the scone you just pull it gently apart.
I live in the Cotswolds and I can't remember the last time I had a cream tea. Watching this, however, has given me a craving. Thanks, guys, a great video. Enjoy. 😃
My English husband and I , on a visit to his sister in Southend, stayed for a week in a thatched roof cottage in Chipping Camden and went to different villages in the Cotswold, including Stow on the Wold ("where the wind blows cold") That was a dream come true vacation for me! I LOVE cream teas and afternoon teas even more!
apart from the bit where you were in southend, sounds lovely
'Tea' as a meal dates back to the upper class Victorians, possibly earlier. The light meal between lunch & dinner was referred to as 'High Tea' , eaten between 4 & 5 pm. Often consisted of cucumber sandwiches, cakes/scones & a pot of tea.
I will never forget the most embarrassing time in England when the waitress very nicely informed us that you do not ask for Devon shire cream tea in Cornwall. Oops!
Always Forever Curious How dare you make such a mistake. You fool. You have just offended half the British population.
Aw it was so much fun watching this and reliving the day! 💛 Loved seeing the UK through foreign eyes too, it was such a blast! Miss you guys!!
Miss you guys too! 🥰 Such good times.
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh Devon is Jam first. Cornwall is Cream first. Cream refers to the Clotted Cream because here in the U.K we have Just Tea or with Milk or Lemon. We would only use Cream with Coffee. Cream Tea should not get mixed up with Afternoon Tea which has the Tea but with (Traditionally) Small Sandwiches with the Crusts cut off and cut diagonally into Triangles, Mostly often Cucumber. Followed by a selection of small Fancies (Little square of cakes covered in different coloured icing and decorations. Some places will offer you from a selection of normall sized cakes like Eclairs etc.
@@andrewcullen8635 No No No No NO!
Cornwall puts jam first, then the cream, Devon puts cream first, then the jam! You have it completely wrong!!!!
Cream tea is one of my favourite things...can't get clotted cream in my country so i gorge on it when I'm in England 💜
next time go for the full "high tea" experience. it's basically the same but more elaborate with lots of different scones, jams and cake.
My hubby and I just discovered your travel channel here on youtube watching Norway trip yesterday. So, we decided to watch some more videos. We were in the Cotswolds in Sep '19 and couldn't wait to watch this! We actually stayed at Lucy's tearoom! If you went to the restrooms (Thru the courtyard) our room was in that building. We had keys to the tearoom to come and go after closing time. And breakfast every morning included in the tearoom. I chose chai too. :)
Thanks for sharing your cream tea adventure! I too thought it was tea with cream. Wasn't clotted cream a heavenly discovery? I've made a version of it since returning home. mmmmm
Being a Yorkshire lad we have always called the evening meal ' Tea'. Tea time! I do believe it tends to be up North that we call it tea time. However I live in Surrey now so its Dinner time!
No, I'm Hampshire and as a kid it was always tea time, as an old man,it's dinner.
@@Tj-ot4jp You must have some Northern roots. LOL
Same down here in the West Country. Dinner at mid-day Tea in the evening.
Im 100% cockney, in my mid 40's it used to be tea when i was younger but as i got older it somehow turned in to dinner. When i was younger, dinner was the meal you had at school at around 12/1pm. Weirdly enough i live up north now and most younger people refer to the late evening meal as dinner while us old fogies still call it tea. It seems to be an american import, calling it dinner.
Cheshire and it what’s for tea or let’s go out for tea for evening and dinner is lunch ain’t it it 😂👍🏼🇬🇧
What a beautiful new travel guide for England, in terms of music as well as footage, recorded at 60fps! I'm watching it right now in my native Missouri, while enjoying Twinings tea and Lorna Doone shortbread cookies! And so far I have really enjoyed it!
Speaking of which, I have already watched several of your other vlogs of England and really enjoyed them, and got a little something out of them.
Sometimes simple things taste wonderful 👍👍 Jam, cream scone all that’s needed
I would agree with Emma's definition of the naming.
In my house, when I was young, on a Sunday we would have dinner, the full roast jobby early afternoon. Would be about 1 O'Clock.
Then we would have "tea" in the evening after bath times and a couple of hours before bed. Usually about 6pm. That would be a cup of tea, sandwiches, cakes, biscuits ect.
I'm not sure things are that structured in many homes now a days but back in the 80's we were fairly typical of most of the people I knew.
I was there very recently, in that very tea room!! Lovely town in a lovely part of England. Prefer plain scones to fruit. Chai tea?? Are you kidding? It's gotta be English Breakfast, Ceylon or at the very worst Earl Grey! ;-)
I quite like the ordinary branded black teas that most British people drink, like PG Tips, Typhoo, Tetleys, Yorkshire or even Co-op Tea. But the posher ones like English Breakfast, Assam, Ceylon, Lady Grey, Earl Gray and Darjeeling are all very nice, and for a surprise try Lapsang Souchong ( a smoked tea!)
Emma Beans is right, Teatime in the UK is a meal, and doesn't need to actually have the drink "tea" as part of it and I am from oop north
.
We call the evening meal tea where I come from in Vic, Australia. I am not sure what they say it other parts of the country. It can differ from state to state.
@@shivaunwhite7507 Dinner everywhere else i have been.
It depends on how you're brought up to speak and where you're from in the UK.
I'm from the North and tea time is the evening meal other people call dinner. What we call dinner other people call lunch. And we don't use the word lunch.
@mark totton @vision thing For areas in the North 'tea' is their evening meal, often without tea. For the rest of the UK 'tea' maybe used as 'afternoon tea', often had in some households around 4pm. This usually does involve tea along with other tea time snacks such as biscuits, cake, scones.
Im from the UK and can tell you that we always refer to dinner as tea. Always have done. Its habit I guess. Like 'what are we having for tea?'
To a true Brit, the greatest pleasures are often derived from being satisfied with successfully negotiating a series of seemingly unimportant choices...which may in part explain the cream tea...
Did the tea from the pot come with crutches?, it looked very weak to me!
It's Darjeeling. It's supposed to be that pale.
I grew up in New Zealand and for the first 25 years of my life I fairly regularly had the NZ equivalent of a cream tea, known as tea and scones. Incidentally, I was always taught that scone rhymed with gone, not with bone. Whether the tea and scones were homemade and served by my mother or at someone else's place, or were served in a teashop, they were served with butter, jam and chantilly cream. Because the Chantilly cream is light and fluffy, not dense like clotted cream, it was always was put on last. Most kiwis, at least at that time, would lightly butter the scone half, spread some jam on and then top it all with a dollop of chantilly cream. Yum, but not exactly the same as a traditional cream tea, whether Devon or Cornwall. I was in my late 20s when I first encountered clotted cream, in a jar and imported from the UK.
I would urge anyone who considers the kiwi tea and scones dish to be an abomination, to please consider it a separate variety and to give it an honest try. Chantilly cream can be made by whipping about 300ml of fresh heavy or whipping cream with a tablespoon of icing sugar and half a teaspoon of real vanilla essence until firm peaks are formed.
Any Americans who are not familiar with sultanas found in the scones shown, they are indeed raisins, but a specific type with a lighter flavour and often juicier because they absorb liquids better. There are hundreds of recipes from the UK, Australia and New Zealand that specify sultanas, rather than just raisins. Traditional Christmas pudding and Christmas cake usually have sultanas, raisins and currants specified in different amounts. My personal opinion for why the Christmas fruit cake in the U:S and to some extent in Canada has such a poor reputation is because the sultanas found in British recipes are replaced with the dark, heavier flavoured raisins which give the cake a harsher taste.
Pronunciation:
While they're yours on your plate, they're "sc-owns" when you've eaten them they're "s-gones"
The word 'wold' as in Cotswold means hills, so Stow-on-the-Wold simply means Holy Place on the Hill.
Really a nice video y'all. I thought Josh 's whisper "Behind the scenes" was so cute. 😂 Just a fun video and informative !
It has been a long time since the last time you both went to Brazil. I really enjoyed their videos about your stayed here, but I also like all videos about everything. Sorry my English mistakes :)
Thank you so much for actually calling it a scone and not a biscuit. 😊
Unless you prefer 'scon' and not 'scone'. Scone sounds nicer but scon is the proper pronounciation.
Hi there. According to a dictionary I looked up online, the word "Wold" is defined as "a piece of high, open uncultivated land or moor, for example
‘the Lincolnshire Wolds’."
It is related to the German word "Wald" meaning forest.
aw I love your video ...nice to learn about England and their ways
Josh & Ashley, here is what it is. As I was raised in Plymouth Devon but holidayed in Cornwall & as an adult worked for a Cornish utility company. The traditional cooked breakfast, hearty lunch, cream tea & another hearty dinner originated with people working the land, miners, even fishermen. Also latter day chaps like I was on the highways maintaining utilities. So it's burn them calories or gain lots of weight.
You guys are safe enough, you hiked the Brecon Beacons with Craig n Aimee, so that's OK
Cut scone in half (I lightly toast both halves) then jam first and cream on top always. Tea has to be from a pre heated pot (pg tips) biscuit colour once milk added, and half teaspoon sugar if not sweet enough. That’s the Cheshire way.
Afternoon tea is almost like a meal ,high tea is a full meal & cream tea is just scones & cream / jam & tea ! That's why " cream tea " !💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞
Cream tea as the lady say consists of creamy things with tea normally scones but sometimes cream cakes
We visited last year and loved it!
Don't forget the other bone of contention.... is the little baked thingy called a 'sk-own' or a 'sk-on' :D
breakfast/dinner/tea and supper if you were lucky!
Bourton -on-the -Water, Upper and Lower Slaughter are all really lovely places to visit in the Cotswolds as well. I agree with others that the Tea in Cream Tea refers to the meal itself. Traditionally say on a Sunday if you had a big roast meal at Lunchtime, then you would have “Tea” or “Teatime” later from 4pm onwards, which would be a much lighter meal consisting of sandwiches, snacks, cakes and indeed scones etc. With shops open on Sundays now ( as opposed to when I grew up when they were all closed) lots of families have there roast dinners later, or not at all, so Sunday teatime has partly died out or changed emphasis.
A great video, i desperately want to go to the Cotswolds now! Looks like you really enjoyed it, until the heavens opened lol
I’ve grown up calling the evening meal tea, I’ve not come across others saying though where I am, I’m in Sussex.
What may be a factor is that in many English dialects "tea" is actually a name for a meal (usually referring to what you call dinner). So it may mean something like "cream snack" rather than anything to do with the drink.
Edit: Yeah, she basically confirmed what I just said! 😊
Thanks Ashley....like you, the Cotswolds are one of the places I always imagine in my dreams.:)
It's pronounced scon, as in gone
I love cream tea and afternoon tea. I always put my clotted cream and then jam first.
We spent some time with my husband's family in England and it's so adorable!!! Love everything about this area, especially the home names. I LOVE cream tea!!! So amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this. Watching in total, just had to share. ♡♡♡
Side note: playing games with friends is always fun♡
Always! 🤗
ahhhhh I love Stow. One of my happy places, and you always get a good cuppa at Lucy's
Great video. Thank you so much..
The next time you come to Germany you must visit Ostfriesland (Eastern Frisia) and attend an "East Frisian" tea ceremony. Did you know that the Eastern Frisians drink more tea than English people. 300 litres per year in Eastern Frisia versus 201 litres in Great Britain.
Ashley in a hypnotic state
Wow! That scone looks amazing!
(also Ignore anyone who says jam first, they're HEATHENS... it's a huge national debate)
I'm from Staffordshire and we here say Breakfast, Dinner and Tea for what many down south would call Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Our logic is "Dinner ladies" work at midday "Dinner" is main sit-down meal gathering and "Tea time" is generally 18:00-20:00 which happens to be when most people have their evening meal.
Of course... We here are correct, none of that French nonsense 😂
Talking tea. In Gravesend we have a tea shop/room called Marie's where you can get speciality tea. 1 of them for example is: Chocolate Orange tea.
I personally dont care which way the cream or jam goes as long as its Roddas clotted cream and Tiptree seedless Raspberry Jam. Its so bad but oh so good at the same time. Clotted creams teas are the ultimate decadence!
Wold - a piece of high, open uncultivated land or moor.
Usually on chalk or limestone.
Ahhhh cozy time is the best ...have fun
If my history is right, Victorians used to have their dinner quite late, so afternoon tea would be about 4:30 to 5:00, tea would often have cucumber sandwiches.
There’s no controversy........... ALWAYS CREAM FIRST.
In the 11th century in Tavistock Abbey (Devon) there is evidence of the monks eating bread with cream and jam.
It’s a Devon cream tea and a Cornish pasty!
You are right the clotted cream represents the butter! It’s the star of show, spread it on thick, dollop of jam on top, job done!
‘Ansome maids.
Cream first, then jam. 👌
The meals here in the U.K. are breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea then supper. None of them refer to the drink tea it’s a meal we have. It’s very confusing if you don’t know about it.
In Australia we call scones, jam and cream with a drink a Devonshire tea, and usually most prefer jam first then the cream 😊
Humm! Jam then cream is the Cornish way. Devon way is cream then jam.
@@sandraback7809 The Dorset way is to mix jam and cream together then spread. :D
lilacfloyd I’m not surprised at Dorset, they can be a bit special😂. I use to live in Burton Bradstock and then Bridport. My Nan had a caravan at Durdle Door. Love Dorset but I will stick with the Cornish way tho husband goes Devon 😁
Yes. I am from Australia and we always put the jam on first.
@@lilacfloyd that is blasphemy!
Wold refers to high ground / moorland or uncultivated land
I LOVE the Cotswolds!
JAM FIRST!!!!!! That's the one true way to do it
Too messy
Mental....you need to be certified for that kind of treasonous speak.
Jam first is the way to go.
@@niamh_20 obviously always jam first
Rubbish, the cream will not spread on jam but jam will spread on cream
Happy for the people from the USA, to go to England, the lady looked really ecstatic, n1, oyeah Earl Grey is the tea to have, imo, jam then cream,
if your posh you have lunch at middayish time time and your dinner in the evening. If you not so posh like me a bit older working class maybe in the past you would eat dinner around midday and tea in the evening. Tea in this case would be food not tea the drink
We still say it like that where I'm from. And there's no such thing as lunch.
i think if you are posh you hav supper!
Cream first then jam is the Devon way and Jam first then Cream is Cornwall.
great thanks
The name Cotswold is popularly attributed the meaning "sheep enclosure in rolling hillsides",. Cots temporary enclosure, incorporating the term, wold, meaning hills. Compare also the Weald from the Saxon/German word Wald meaning 'forest'.
Obsessed with cooking top quality food ... these chicks are keepers guys.
The afternoon tea/ cream tea derived from way back .
Upper classes lunch at 12.30 is a long time till 8pm dinner in formal houses so aftrrnoon cream tea n a sandwich was born to bridge the gap till dinner..
This is a couple hundred years old style
Hi Josh and Ashley welcome to my country! do you have an schedule for your visit?
Mark from Bournemouth
Definition of wold. 1 : a usually upland area of open country. 2 capitalized : a hilly or rolling region -used in names of various English geographic areas Yorkshire Wolds... The houses are usually built with Cotswold stone or horton stone :)
I like Ashley having a little bit of fun imitating the English accent
At 8:09 Ashley finally eats the scone!
It’s usually called Devonshire tea
Devon have jam on top, Cornwall have it cream on top. You’ll cause war if you get it wrong 😂
Breakfast, Dinner and Tea over here in Sheffield
Wold - a piece of high, open, uncultivated land or moor.
Yes, I needed to look it up.
Hehe, well at least someone did! :p
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh 😂
Hammer 001 🤷🏼♂️🙄
Cream Tea is a classic South West UK thing only, either from Devon or Cornwall. Reason why is because of the local cows that also produce 'Cheddar' cheese that graze on the perfect grass and climate conditions. A cream tea is not the same if it's not from or served in Devon or Cornwall and BTW, it's jam first with cream on top. I know as I'm from the area.
That "creme" looks very much like the butter that we put on similar breads here in my country (with marmelade and/or cheese on top as well). Are there any important differences? //Just curious.
Clotted cream is cream that is heated slowly for quite a long time and clots. It's not beaten like butter is. It tastes of cream (all be it very thick). And tastes nothing like butter.
Eating jam and cream scones now lol from my living room am from Manchester uk
😂😂😂😂 brilliant . Afternoon tea / Hightea As its know as well ..
Jam 1st for me. Great videos.Lovely couple
I’ve spotted a mistake. You appear to have put the tea in before the milk. It is important to note that when you have potted tea, you always put the milk in first as the tea has already mixed with the water. This is different to having tea from a kettle where the water must mix first with the tea. But you are forgiven.
Ashley messed with the cream/jam ratios!!!! 🤦♂️Sacrilege! 😮😮😮I have to say, I think I did feel the earth tremor beneath my feet not that long ago, and I distinctly remember hearing howling that night too! Oh Ashely, you know not what you've done. 😲
😀👍lol
The Devon way is clotted cream first. The right way 😁. The reason being the cream used to be used as almost a substitute for butter - a kind of halfway point between lard and butter.
⭐️ Devon cream tea = cream then jam on top, Cornish cream tea = jam then cream on top. You can remember this as you are eating Cornish Clotted Cream, so if the cream is on top it is the highlight of the meal hence being a Cornish cream tea. If the cream is underneath the jam then it’s not the highlight and so is a Devon cream tea. It’s a Cream Tea you are having as it is all about the Clotted Cream, hence cream tea. Hope that makes sense. Hope you liked Stow on the Wold (I grew up about 5 miles away). Wold, by the way, is an old word for hill.
Cream teas are generally available throughout Britain in tea shops but the West Country ( Devon, Cornwall, Somerset ) is most renowned for them.
im wathing you enjoyable. good luck.
Jam then cream every time 👍🤓
Cream first - jam on top. That's the proper Devon way. 👍🏻
Jack Russell See it just makes sense.
So nice to hear Americans pronounce Scone properly. Not like the foreigners from up North pronounce it 😁
Broadway is beautiful
Apparently it all came about when wealthy men used to go for a constitutional walk in the afternoons and the Ladies were left behind to chat. The Ladies decided that tiny sandwiches/cakes would be nice to have with their tea. I imagine that the West country cream tea fitted very well into this Ladies afternoon tea thing very much.
Cream 1st is Devon way ,the cornish way is jam on the bottom & cream on top which is the majority of Brits prefer / do ! Btw.,are they Brits ?? I don't think so !! Lol. They didn't know how to eat them right ! You are supposed to twist the scones ( they are pre cut mostly so that can be separated easily !! Lol.) to open 'em ! 💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞
A cream tea is what unites us as a nation. 😀
.....aww.....she's such a cutie.....never stops smiling....
Aww that stinks you didn't get to go in the maze! we love a maze too! we'd probably love that Overcooked game too!!
Yeah We missed them by like 3 minutes. I think they closed early because of the rain
I'm from Tetbury in The Cotswolds and I often had cream tea. Jam first the Cornish way. In the UK meals are breakfast, dinner and tea haha. Never call afternoon tea 'high tea'. This is wrong. I'm looking at you Australia. It's just tea or afternoon tea.
I'll drink to this vlog! 🍵hmm I'm not the greatest cook in real life and probably wouldn't fare better in that game lol..fun to watch though. Sweet choice of music once again 😄
Cream first is Devonshire and the only correct way to have a cream tea as they were invented in Devon, just like pasties!
Since I'm a functionalist and I have a mustache. I would put the cream on first. I would rather have a bit of jam clinging momentarily to my mustache rather than a bit of white (clotted) cream. Yes?
Nice❤
My great great maybe great once more have to check my tree ...was Eliza Jane Rodda. Roddas Dairy is one of the oldest if not the oldest in Cornwall. They are famous for the clotted cream.
oh and I am a jam first kind of gal. actually a huge fight between devon and cornwall which goes first. lol
There's a lot of names like that on the east coast in America and perhaps elsewhere like stow on the wold also there's places on the east coast of the US that use non rhotic language or accent I should say
I'm glad you guys got the "spot of tea" shenanigans out of your systems before going inside 🙈😂 I personally don't like cream or jelly (jam), so the layering doesn't matter to me lol I do like putting butter and honey on biscuits (not cookies), though. The honey goes first!
You can't come to England and not have cream tea! The Queeen has hers at 3pm every day....
