I couldn’t find half and half in the UK. They have single cream, double cream, and clotted cream. I think clotted is pretty close to just cream. Single cream is still thicker than half and half.

The term clotted cream just doesn’t sit well with me.

Well, in the US it’s classified as a butter, if that helps.

Interesting 🤔 I feel wiser and more worldly now lol.

Does it stand well with you at least ? Or even Crouch/Squat well. You obviously would not know, but what are the chances that it sits well without you, Ie. Hostess at Dennys: " clotted cream Party of One, Right this way " Clotted Cream : "Thank you , May I sit in a booth even though I am by myself? I don't sit well with others, Especially the internationally revered Taint-Painter. " Hostess: " ......" Clotted cream: " Although I probably Would go with Sky blue or Lavender if I were to have my Taint Painted. I wonder if they use Acrylic..."

I have no idea what brand new sentence I just read, but it is lovely. I've reread this comment the most in my reddit history, so well done.

This is very odd to me because all of the other ones are liquids at cold temperatures and Butter (which is better than margeine) is liquid at very warm temperatures.

i think heavy cream is just cream becuase i just did a search and found that clotted cream is made by heating full cream milk until it "clots" hence its name. Also i think heavy and whipping cream are the same thing or almost the same just sold under different names
