 When my family was stationed over in German you probably all know there were 3 sections of west Germany that were ally controlled. The U.S., the Brits, and the Russians...anywho my point being we went to a festival in the Brits side and had the most delicious pastry known to man...i'll try to discribe it and you guys gotta tell me what it was and how to reproduce it...whoever does this i will be forever greatful... it was kinda like a biscuit cut in half with cream cheese in the middle along with various fruit toppings mixed in the cream cheese...that's about all i remember since i was only 12, but if anyone know what this is called an how to make it tell me please!

 Can you remember what festival it was? Sometimes the food is in some way related. Cream Cheese and Fruit? 
Sounds like something they might eat "Darn Sahf". If it's not deep fried, it's not from 'round 'ere

 When you said it was a biscuit I was really confused. They'd have to be pretty stale to taste like bisuits. Yep a dahn sahf thing indeed. Cream Teas! (Scones had with tea very commonly) It is important to have the clotted cream on TOP of the jam for the best effect. Raspberry jam is very nice, but my favourite is bilberry (wild blueberry) jam. posted by fatpie42 |

so how the F do you make em? and what might clotted cream be? and also this dahn sahf? thanks for the help by the way fellas...ok another quick question...even more dumb... i know i can do an english accent voice pretty easily...do you guys have an american voice you do? is it a down south accent like our friends on jerry springer? or something else? just curious! please enlighten me... posted by The ONEder Man |

American voices are quite easy to do for us brits as we just roll the r's in every word, whats hard is getting something like a Bronx or Texan accent. Doing a brit voice i would imagine is quite hard as you end up straightening the accent so it sounds really posh. I'm convinced you think we all talk like Hugh Grant which we don't, he's got a posh accent but isnt posh as such. London accents are a mix but east end londoners seem to have this aversion to using the letter T in anything they say. And they are all soft suthern bastids

Actually there are far too many accents to name. The accent dahn sahf is supposed to be a kind of East London accent (ever heard of the dreadful British soap "eastenders"?) There's a certain element in the accents of people in Essex and Kent where they don't pronounce t's and h's and sound like their mouths are pushed to one side. The northerners have some pretty crazy accents too, but they are generally a damn site more interesting. The accent you are most likely to have come across in America is Angelina Jolie's very professionally copied Oxford English accent in Tomb Raider. (That's the more distinguished southern accent). If you've ever seen Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels then you'll have heard the two regional stereotypes summed up as "southern fairies" and "northern monkeys". 
I'm afraid I don't know how to make scones. Rather than waste your time by asking my mum when she gets home from work here's an online recipe:  Clotted Cream is thick cream that is almost like butter. (Kind of a cross between the two). It is most famously found in Devon and Cornwall and in these places they are proud of their cream teas and their ice creams (in which they also use clotted cream in order to be extra tasty and artery-clogging) Here's a bit more about clotted cream and cream teas:  posted by fatpie42 |

"Darn Sahf" is how people from London and the surrounding areas pronounce "Down South". Here's one that I always tease cockneys with. "Girl" and "Bell" don't rhyme. But to a cockney they do. Girl is Pronounced "Gew" (said in a way that rhymes with Bell) Bell is Pronounces "Bew" The best was I can suggest to hear this is to download some "Chas & Dave" MP3's, listen to how they "Sing", delete them cos they're shit, and forget all about it.

you could try the snob...yes rather one has scones for ones tea the northern england accents like liverpool,manchester and newcastle are probably the hardest to do a scot accent is pretty easy although the tone can change alot from city to city...i cant understand people from aberdeen cause these speak a very localised dialect called "doric" that incorporates some old scots language into it posted by the anomaly |
