Even better if yo could find Clotted Cream, now that is the beez neez you might say or some call in solidified heart attack. Here is the Wiki link: Clotted Cream

This is the single most amazing stuff ever. We usually get Devonshire Clotted Cream from our local shop with a fat content of 68%, so high in fact, it does come with a golden layer of pure butter on top of it. Not for the faint hearted or those scared of suffering a heart attack but most certainly qualifying for the accolade of 'Food Porn'.

Hey Hoverfly. Well we get creme fraiche here and I use that A LOT for cooking (more than I should). Is that what you're talking about? I absolutely love it. Sometimes I'm tempted to eat it right out of the container, but I know that wouldn't be healthy lol.

This is what I use for baking. Liberte, I believe is a Canadian product from Montreal. They make yogurt and all sorts of dairy products. I am just thankful they sell it here in Newfoundland (the island I live on).



I found your tips VERY useful. I'm always looking for new ways to reuse food and save money. I'm also a bit of a environmentalist (compost, recycling, etc). I will admit though, I am a bit (okay, a lot) neurotic about germs and food spoiling. So while I don't keep food past their expiration date, I ALWAYS try to use up the food before it 'spoils'. A good way to do use of up the food before expiration date is to invite friends or family over (everyone loves a free cooked meal, right?) or I'll cook something and store in it a few separate containers and freeze it.

I'll read the rest of this later, I'm going to be late for work. Oh dear. lol


ps/ creme fraiche is amazing in banana bread!
