OT: can you get clotted cream in T5
Ask by other half to get clotted cream in london before head home tomorrow morning, and I fail, local waitrose run out, and I don't have the will to sreach in this time at night. So can you get clotted cream anywhere in T5? Fortnum? Or no tea part I guess, and dog house for me over Christmas. Thanks, my flight is 11 in the morning, try to save myself run around in the morning.

Depending on where/how you are flying back you might get some on the plane? You could tell the other half that the wet wether has caused a shortage and we are rationed to small pots in the UK...

Indeed they do the mini tubs in Flounge from about 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Or you can ask in the CCR at any time, and it comes in a little white dish.
There is a Waitrose on Edgware Road not so far from the Paddington HEX service. 10 minutes walk I'd say, by Sussex Gardens. Plus M&S in Paddington Station and a larger one by Praed Street / Edgware Road. As well as T5 Arrivals as noted by where next. Don't know where this sits on the liquid debate, probably the wrong side!
(Interest declared: I am a meat supplier to Waitrose).
Not sure where you're located but decent clotted cream is available stateside--my local safeway carries it from time to time. My other half also requires periodic doses so I understand the implications!

Where are you importing the cream to? Firstly, you need to make sure you can keep it cool, and secondly you need to check the import regulations for the country, as dairy products are subject to controls depending on the country.

That's a good point. The US particularily is very strict on dairy products, I believe.

you would need to put it [clotted cream]... in your hold baggage as cream would count as a liquid.
Yup. I once had Brie cheese that had been a pretty firm type of Brie when I put it into my hand luggage, classed as a liquid in security. It only melted in the hot overcrowded terminal after my flight got delayed 2 hours. Luckily I persuaded security to let me keep it after I explained what had happened....

Brie is tasteless old tripe....until it is walking round, then it's gorgeous! The stuff they sell in supermarkets, even when described as ripe, just isn't anywhere near ready to eat.
