Wot no cream?

Well... It is going to be another one of those insane weeks at work, but on the positive side my boss has decided that team meetings are better held in Madrid than in the north of England :-)

So I am thinking about OT cooking and had decided that the chicken in a cream and cardamom sauce would be good (just too yummy) when I remember that my Great Aunt who lives somewhere near Washington DC used to smuggle cream back to the US because they couldn't get it there. Must be a family dairy thing, my Mother used to smuggle butter from the Netherlands to Belgium because her Belgian chums parents didn't think the customs officials would search a schoolgirl with a British passport.

So do Merkins have cream? I could do the chicken tomato and olive thingy which is nice, or toad in the hole except I think the sausages are not the same.

English speaking countries roll of dishonour - Sausages

3rd worst - Canada
2nd worst - New Zealand
Worst - USA I mean they don't even have a skin on them.

And with no cream I have no dessert, was going to do Summer Pudding for the temperate people, and it really benefits from being served with cream, or I suppose you could use yoghurt and Bread and butter pudding for those in colder climes, impossible without cream.

Aaaaargh!

So...

Please tell me there is cream out there somewhere!

Oooh! Gammon with a reform club sauce!

No cream how can you live without custard?
