I can’t eat something named “clotted cream”.

Can confirm, we served this stuff in our short-lived tea shop in New York and it made a huge difference in the quality of the product.

Doesn't sound great, but it is delicious.

It's just cream that's been gently heated for an extended time to denature the proteins a bit. Not all that different in spirit from fresh cheeses (though cheesemakers denature the proteins by acidification or enzymatic methods).

When I was a child in the 80s, my (Chinese) dad used to order "bean curd" in restaurants when we visited big city Chinese restaurants. I always found the name unappetizing in the extreme.

Today, of course, I love tofu.

It is perhaps for this reason that "black pudding" has the name that it does [0], rather than the more accurate "blood sausage"

Very tasty, surprisingly delicate if you cook it right.

The name black pudding is still enough to scare people off

a hot scone, with clotted cream and home made jam... oh boy!

(best to experience this at a farm which makes their own, nothing beats home cooking)
