New England does the Devonshire cream tea! Recently, we stayed at the English Meadows Inn in Kennebunkport, Maine. This small town is a coastal resort perhaps most famous as the location of the Bush's summer holiday home. The owner had spent some time in UK and therefore, was quite partial to the English habit of taking tea. He made his own lemon curd and although clotted cream was not an option, he made a good approximation of the Devonshire cream himself. Certainly not as rich or dense but it did at least have the flavour. The homemade scones were delicious and we ordered what turned out to be a great tea - Avalanche Rooibos which only seems to be available on the internet. Check out the heavily chintzy floral tea salon too - all the teaware was fine bone china.
