[quote=Anonymous]World Market sells a pretty good mix from England -- I used it a few different varieties to make scones for a school project on England for the kids and they were quite good.  (Fresh out of oven best, but still good out of tupperware the next day.)  We served them with lemon curd, or with raspberry curd, which they also sell at World Market, imported from England, and was a revelation to me.  (TJ's also does an awesome lemon curd.)

We also had devon cream, but the kids didn't like that much and I don't really blame them --  I don't think that travels that well -- the stuff in the U.K. is great, but the stuff in the jar at World Market (imported from U.K.) was pretty bleh.

I think it's sometimes hard to reproduce certain baked goods from England and Ireland here, because I think the flour is milled differently, and the butter is definitely different.  The Irish soda bread tastes totally different in Ireland.  Next St. P day I may try to make it with Irish butter and see if that helps.

On the Starbucks and similar scones....I actually like the mini vanilla covered ones.  But I don't think they are really the same as a English scone.  They are more like a shortbread covered in royal icing, which can also be nice, especially with coffee.[/quote]
