It's clotted cream. Yum.
Clotted is such an...appetizing word...
My thoughts exactly! And, what about that other British specialty "spotted dick?" Yum!?0 -

Have you never been to Starbucks? What about any of the hundreds of other coffee and tea houses that you can find in a city of any size? They all have scones...sometimes a bit sweeter than an English scone, but essentially the same thing.
I don't think it's that strange...
Sure, I'd heard of them but never had one.
I don't like starbucks. If I go, it's through the drive through to get something for my wife. If I go inside it's straight to the counter to get a gift card and back out.
And since I prefer home brewed coffee and don't like tea, you won't find me in coffee shops or frufru tea joints.
Maybe I've even seen one but unless someone said "oh look, scones" I would think to myself "oh look, fancy pastries. Where's the chocolate?"0 -

Something is different about them, no. I couldn't describe it, but I had tea twice a day at school when I was in England for it Or just breaks. I couldn't tell which, since there was tea and biscuits 
We have graham crackers and animal crackers, and I have no idea why either is called a cracker because they are sweet. They are each their own texture and taste, though, so they are hard to compare to other things. We should just call them cookies, too. We aren't picky on what constitutes a cookie like y'all are
Oh! Fig Newtons (rolls there) aren't cookies, exactly, over here. So maybe I do get it after all!
Carlos, try to guess what a jumper is. That one confused me with no context whatsoever. And 'half 10' or 'half 8', etc. I kept forgetting whether it was 7:30 (half till 8) or 8:30 (half after) that the UKers (and Irish) meant.
For gravies, I bet most Americans aren't even familiar with one of my favorites with a ham and biscuit breakfast: red eye gravy. So that'd be ham grease and fried coffee served on a biscuit, yes Try it sometime!

Nah. That's where white lightenin' comes from.
Maybe over there...but over here, white lightning means a white dude streakin'.
Then you ain't from the south. White Lightnin' is moonshine! (distilled corn mash liquor, high alcohol content).
I surmise that 'clotted cream' is analogous to what we call 'whipped cream' or maybe more like whipped heavy cream. I love scones, but have never eaten them with jam or clotted cream - the scones in the US are usually already sweet by themselves.0 -
