I don't have a very sweet tooth and all this sweet stuff discussed puts me
off. I have never seen, or heard of, flavoured cream or even sweetened
cream (although that is possibly because I have no interest to look for
them) I will have a look next time I go shopping but I don't have a lot of
hope of having anything to report.
The cream I buy is 'double cream'! It is thick but it pours easily and I
use it either in cooking, or just a pour a wee amount over jelly (or
whatever)!
