Martial arts shouldn't take years to learn.

In the US, it's almost always (in my experience) just called "clotted cream" (as the linked article indicated), so some variation of that might be the standard in SA, too.

Knowing the Brits (and Americans) there's probably some difference between Cornish cream and Devon (Devonish??) cream of which we in America are largely unaware.

Not 'Devonish'! it's Devonshire.

Devon clotted cream is less yellow because there's less carotene in the grass in Devon. Cornish clotted cream is a holder of the EU's Protection of Designated Origin. In the USA clotted cream is designated as a butter by all accounts (?).

I don't know what it's designated as here - I just know I have to buy it in quite small jars, because I will eat however much is in the jar once I open it.

I've seen thread drift, but from how long it takes to learn martial arts (Black belts guaranteed in a month, two weeks if you double the fee) to how to bake biscuits?

And you didn't ask, but I like my doughy.

How bout we tie it all in....

My son has trained for 8 years and received his youth blackbelt in 7 years (officially he is still a 9th kyu though) and his Sensei is good friends with Demura who a couple years ago gave my son an Autographed copy of his Book on the Sai and although we like Powdermilk Biscuits we prefer Homemade Sweet Potato Bisquits more.

I don't know what it's designated as here - I just know I have to buy it in quite small jars, because I will eat however much is in the jar once I open it.

And to make sure we stay on track...Clotted cream probably goes quite well on Sweet Potato Biscuits, too.

Look. It doesn't take years to become an expert on diary products.

This - from World Market.

The Double Devon Cream Butter in your link sounds intriguing.

Especially if you keep a journal (about your clotted cream, I presume).

Clotted cream sounds very familiar... In the pictures it looks almost like the colour of Buttermilk. I know a lot of people drink it here, it's very high in calcium.

Have you ever been to SA?

 

[Tarrycat]

Okay, nevermind. It's only known as Cornish cream &/or Devonshire cream.

Ah that's very nice but it's not clotted cream, it's double cream nor is it from Devon but Somerset the next country over!

Clotted cream has a thick crust on the top and is very thick, spreadable in fact.


This is the Devon one, below is the Cornish one.

Have you ever been to SA?

I have not. I've worked with some folks from SA, and heard a bit from them. I know very little about it.

That stuff is spreadable (far too thick to pour - somewhat thicker than Greek style yogurt), though has no crust on it. How is the flavor/texture different?

I don't know. Seem like a lot of time and work to me.

That's awesome!

As long as you're not under the impression that we ride Lions, & that all of the wild animals roam free in our streets...

I highly doubt that, since you're a very knowledgeable individual. Some Americans actually imagined South Africa to be like that... Someone shared the story with us after their visit in the States.

We know a bunch of Americans as well through the Mormon church.

It resembles baked cheesecake a little... . Do you prefer it to normal whipped cream?

Actually it does, dairy that is.

You can't drink clotted cream, you can spread it though.

Whipped cream is different, clotted cream is much denser and very delicious. More like butter than cheesecake.

There is also a psychology to all this. Some people do not need a martial art to be effective on the street or in a ring. Plus as someone previously stated there is a difference between proficiency and mastery.

Have a great day!

effective fighting, is a relatively straight forward process, it takes a good bit of fitness and some skills, i have decided that ma can complicate things to the point that you have to many options and not enough practise in any of them to be effective.in the short term, we spent last night doing techniques that i will never ever use. You had you oppoinent in an arm bar and you put them on your shoulder like a sack of coal and then transferred into a head twist. Eeerrrr.


if i have my opoinent in a arm bar, I'm either breaking his arm or kicking his knee out, or kneeing him the face.. The instructor made it look good, i made it look like,a,drunken barn dance and started doing something else , which partner to start complain( again)

Of course you don't ride lions. That's what giraffes are for.

How do you put the bridle on them?
