用法筆記

A cream tea is a traditional British light meal centred around scones, clotted cream, jam, and tea. It is particularly associated with the counties of Devon and Cornwall in South-West England, where local dairy farming produced the thick cream. The term can also refer to an event or fundraiser where this meal is served, such as a 'charity cream tea' or 'village cream tea'. A cream tea should not be confused with 'afternoon tea', which is a larger spread that adds finger sandwiches, cakes, and pastries.
